I disagree. If you are in the game long enough to have repaired a vehicle did you not just gain a skill or become more proficient? From when I started in the IT field I sucked at cisco IOS (command line) now I am kinda awesome as I did it over and over. Why would this realism not want to be ported to a ultra realistic game? Its not sarcasm simply noting you claim complexity when you yourself are not the backend programmer. That said we should not take an assumption and attack said assumptions with more assumptions. I like the idea. I would HATE it if it was like WoW and a craft skill. However, it be great if maybe after giving so many blood transfusions you could then give yourself one. Also repairing a chopper took less scrap metal. There are a lot of directions this could go. However...we do not want to get attached to our characters as we will eventually loose them. -Dan

Drives me nuts when I have a player hiding outside of a building trying to kill me....ya I usually just log out cause I have 0 chance. I have to walk out facing the completely wrong direction and then turn. I cannot with a Glock side step out and have a chance of survival.

Friend of mine wrote this and yes it would not port over perfectly but the idea is there as all this data can be sent to a database and upon login you could use a script of if else's and check how frequent and from where and when a person logs in and out. Change the INTERNAL IP's used in the script and some minor stuff and add database queries and you have something @echo off set yyyy=%date:~10,4% set dd=%date:~7,2% set mm=%date:~4,2% REM ## Edit this path to reflect this environment ## set share=\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\10.0.0.200\\\\\\\\scratch\\\\\\\\logins\\\\\\\\%yyyy%\\\\\\\\%mm%\\\\\\\\%dd%.csv for /f "Tokens=2 Delims=[]" %%i in ('ping -4 -n 1 "%computername%"') do set IP=%%i set qry=where "ipenabled=true" set params=description^^,ipaddress^^,macaddress^^,MTU for /f "usebackq skip=2 tokens=1-4 delims=," %%a in ( `wmic nicconfig %qry% get %params% /format:csv ^<nul^|find /v "0.0.0.0"` ) do set MAC=%%d REM ## Edit these paths to reflect your environment ## if not exist \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\10.0.0.200\\\\\\\\scratch\\\\\\\\logins\\\\\\\\%yyyy%\\\\\\\\%mm% ( mkdir \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\10.0.0.200\\\\\\\\scratch\\\\\\\\logins\\\\\\\\%yyyy%\\\\\\\\%mm% if not exist %share% ( @echo %Date%, %TIME%, %username%, %computername%, %IP%, %MAC% >%share% ) else ( @echo %Date%, %TIME%, %username%, %computername%, %IP%, %MAC% >>%share% ) ) else ( if not exist %share% ( @echo %Date%, %TIME%, %username%, %computername%, %IP%, %MAC% >%share% ) else ( @echo %Date%, %TIME%, %username%, %computername%, %IP%, %MAC% >>%share% ) ) At the very least...makes ya think that punishing server hoppers is possible.

Yes he is being paid to work on DayZ however they are not supplementing staff to directly assist him. SUpport would be to allow full time coders and more to support the project.

Question, I am lucky as I have a fiber line with 20/15 and static IP. Is that sufficient. Its a Business LSA. ?

Hello, The game has really started to mature and gain a feeling or character about it. Anyone who bothers to read this forum almost certainly plays the game and enjoys it. Rocket has done some great work all by himself with some people around him supporting him. That said, I think it is time for a paypal or some form of monetary contribution to come from the 600k persons who enjoy this game and want more. In addition to or as an alternative option if Rocket can figure out a reasonable and actually helpful way to get the coders of this community to assist in the development of this project. Professionally I am a Network Engineer so I don't think I can give any crazy insight or assistance but I know there are coders out there that live and breath "loops, arrays, objects..ect". So to sum up my thoughts. 1. Donate Portal to DayZ Project 2. Find way to allow community coders to contribute to side or mainstream projects. I have Googled around and find a lot of plz help with private servers but none that donates directly to DayZ Project. -D
