Fix. If there are no servers showing up in the GameSpy browser (ie GameSpy is down) try the following... 1. Go to Gametracker or ArmA 2 Game Stats search for your server and get the IP and PORT numbers. 2. Load ArmA 2/DayZ > click Multiplayer > click Remote > enter the servers IP and PORT numbers in appropriate fields > click OK. The server should now be showing up in the server list :)

Imo its just a short range audible 'hand/spacebar' scanning, not sure how a character can panic without seeing or even knowing about another player or getting the drop on someone (who made the effort to conceal themselves in good cover) while sprinting through a forest because their heartbeat went nuts even though they were paying zero attention. Possible fixes: - Only get an audible warning if you have a good clean line of sight. (not AI 'see one pixel' through a bush and get perfect 'eyes on') - Put a 3 second delay on the activation of the heartbeat sound (no LOS is needed)... ie a full 3 seconds has to pass while pointing at player direction before sound is played, if direction is lost the 3 second counter is reset (so you can't just pick up someone by fluke while sprinting through the forest etc etc) Or combine both.... would like to hear others thoughts. edit could this moved to 'suggestions' please mod :)

If you're murder a few people you will 'panic' other players when they point at you're direction upto 20m I think, weather through objects or not making their heart beat loudly and rapidly.

Consequences of player killing - a new direction!
lockie1976 replied to heretic (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
What? why would you suddenly develope these serious mental illnesses for murder... sorry but this is not the way forward. If you want to slow PvP down you need high risk assoiated to shooting... whatever that needs to be. ie zombies can hear gunshots from alot further away, the gunshot impairs your hearing for 60 seconds etc etc or Remove thermal weapons, remove sniper/scoped (acog) weapons (Iron, Aim, Holo and kobra are all fine), remove 3dp... thats a massive start to removing the ass hat pvp. -
Would be really nice to get some DEV/MOD REPLY on this issue.

+1 ^^ Minutes!? 5-10 seconds max!.... sit and think about it... count out 10 seconds and tell me thats not enough time to kill a dcer's character that is motionless. 3 minutes is extreme, you would have to run deep bush every dc... players go everywhere, players spawn in everywhere, no where on the map is safe... 3 minutes is a long time, far too long.

Database cleanup [2012-07-03]

Found a L85A2 AWS and although the weapon itself is a piece of shit (like 95% of BAF weapons) I use it purely to spot people. I can see them through fog, behind bushes etc etc... greatest tool for murdering yet, the thermal scope just made pvp sooo much easier. Just not sure it fits the DayZ theme...

Chernarus is littered with US equipment... why wouldn't it be Russian. 1. Many variants of US assault rifles, and only 5 Russian (3 AKs, 2 FALs). We have M16 & M4 with all the combinations of M203s, ACOGs and Holo... where are the Russian AK107's, AK GL, AK PSO... and the s.t.a.l.k.e.r weapon Sa58? We have the M240, M249 & the MK48 Mod 0.... where is the PKM, or the PKP Pecheneg?? We have the US M107, British AS50.... where is the KSVK? And now we have British L58A2 AWS (thermal scope)... this country borders Russian right!? 2. I would imagine repairable choppers to be MI8's and Mi17s and crashed loot choppers be Mi24's... so why all the US Helicopters and not Russian? 3. If its going to be all backwards like this.... where are all the repairable hummers? there are hummer wrecks everywhere but only Russian/European vehicles that can be driven? This is all very inconsistent and unthoughtful in regard the the authenticity and immersion. Then the smaller things like.... 4. Whiskey bottles everywhere.... wouldn't they be Vodka? 5. PMC characters... is that because ArmA 2 civilians can't use Baclpacks?... if they can use backpacks wouldn't it be far better if you used them instead of PMC characters. Its all these small things that can add a huge amount to the game without really much... the environment and world scenery is as important as anything else. (realistic world = deep immersion) I'm sure I've missed alot of points... feel free to add to this, would like Rocket to understand that this is important. And the world of Chernarus is bordering Russia and Rockets story mentions nothing of US involvement.

Allow players to form 'Groups' That way you can introduce 'Radios' as a tool item and 'Group' VON can be used between group members that have radios along with 'Group' chat (text), something exactly like Project Realities or Dominations 'Groups'. And add "quivers' which can hold 5-10 bolts, and enhance the crossbow a little. 1.7.1.5 was a pretty damn good patch, keep it up.

Any alternative location to find medical supplies?
lockie1976 replied to Henyo10's topic in New Player Discussion
-=Antibiotics=- Hospitals (rare spawn) -=Blood Bags=- Hospitals Military and medical Camps (tents) Crashed choppers -=Morphine=- Hospitals Military and medical Camps (tents) Crashed choppers Military Barracks -=Bandages and Painkillers=- Everywhere, zombies often carry bandages too and more rarely painkillers. http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html -
0.43% chance at chopper crash, thats the same as NV... either way its too advanced for this mod imo. Maybe the M4A1 GL Holo SD.... that should be as advanced as it gets, its silenced with Holo sight and M203 grenade launcher... or the MK17 SD.... but thermals are way to much.

:S sorry man... I should of said of 'European origin' :) I think it far more reasonable to assume Russian would be looking after its backyard as would any superpower... be like this being set in Canada and saying "its reasonable to assume Russian forces where there!?" Even America is smart enough (just) to understand that superpowers don't like others involved in 'their' business.

This server is running an incorrect version of server side appliction.
lockie1976 replied to SiennaWroten's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I get this message on ANZ 1 to 4 servers (which I'm meant to be admining) but most other ANZ and US servers work fine... I know cm at ANZ runs test hives for you... maybe thats the problem. Dont need a character reset since it only happens on the 4 servers I need to be admining, like I said rocket..... little steps and then test those little steps.... no point bounding along only to have to turn around and backtrack to pick up all the shit you dropped :) -
I've been getting this error since 1.7.1.2... it comes after 'waiting to create character' then the 'loading' screen.... "This server is running an incorrect version of the server side application. You cannot play on this server. If you are the server admin please contact DayZ staff." Also if it means anything.... a pop error comes up after clicking 'ok' in the lobby... No entry 'bin\comfig.bin/CfgWeapons,'. I know it doesnt effect most people but it is affecting a few. Been playing since OFP so I know what I'm doing, I know my command line is correct, I have the latest beta and the latest dayz files and I know the servers aren't all running the incorrect hive. What is this error and how is it corrected? Ty
