    Status Report - Week of 05 Jan 15

    Glad to hear news about the successor to SQF. I would love to hear more details about this new scripting language. What interests me most though is if you created your own or if you went with something existing. In case of the latter what language are we talking?

    SHIT/PISS SYSTEM V1.2

    Absolutely not! But its definitively a funny read. Just the amount of occurrences of the word piss and shit alone... :)

    Realistic gun mechanics like Reciever

    I am a sucker for realism in 'games' (this is serious god damn it!) as well and last time I checked DayZ is supposed to cater to a very specific group of people that like their games brutal, unrelentless and unforgiving. In short they are expecting a hardcore gaming experience. So with that in mind I absolutely think that realistic gun part mechanics beyond 'press R to reload' should be part of the game. Make it a server switch so server admins have the choice if you must, but do implement this. Here is a more concise clip demonstrating the receiver gun part mechanics:
  5. Wasn't sure where to post this: I am not sure if this was suggested before but after playing Receiver I feel DayZ should feature realistic gun mechanics beyond 'press R to reload' in a way that you can manipulate every/the most important parts of your gun independently. Have a look at this for clarification:
  6. I fear that might be detrimental to your goal because running a sophisticated google search uncovered that bodies in water in fact take longer to decompose than when left to rot over ground in an air-rich environment. :rolleyes:
  7. Well according to Matt SA servers won't be needing restarts to maintain performance so there will have to be a different sort of (perhaps temporal) trigger for corpses to disappear. Matt Lightfoot: source: http://dayzmod.com/f...80#entry1324260
  8. After glancing over your suggestions it in fact appears some of them have their equivalent in the paper brought forward in this thread but I wouldnt exactly make them out to be 'many'. :) Though true enough all intersecting points are fleshed out in much greater detail then they are in your thread. I also agree with you that all issues raised are worth a careful consideration by the makers of SA and in fact lets do hope Rocket takes his time to attentively sift through this amazing compilation of goodness. :beans:
  9. Wow guys you have done some amazing work on this. I really hope rocket takes his time to carefully read through this. I am only as far as the physiology/medical part but I am entirely absorbed!
  10. Rocket never wanted the DayZ forums to happen in the first place. He had to be convinced. He also feels reddit is a better place for a discussion to take place. Rather then to complain and feel entitled be grateful it exists at all.
  11. @matt Thanks for this devblog. What I was wondering now for a long time and that hasn't been answered anywhere: Will SA servers require frequent restarts as in multiple times per day (24hrs) ? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Quick question about beans.

    I like beans.
  13. Apologies for my (potential) ignorance but will there a dev blog tomorrow?
  14. With this many people playing DayZ and anticipating the SA you will always get moaning. You can't please all of the people all of the time. Once you realized that you see how fruitless it is to even try and change that. I can guarantee you should SA be released today there will be a group of people moaning. And there moans will go along of the lines of: "You released it too early because the game is not ready" Anyway where was I? Ah yes breakfast!

    2 Years to DayZ

    Seems you are not so much focusing on the clinical side of the virus rather then the reasons why and how the infected crushed the modern world. Well you might want to read the "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War". This tells one possible story and tries to be very scientific and plausible. At times its overdoing it a bit with the shorthands that people could have come up with for certain phenomenas in order to sound more believable but still a good read never the less.

    2 Years to DayZ

    source: http://dorkshelf.com...an-rocket-hall/ source: http://dayzmod.com/f...qa-with-rocket/ source: https://twitter.com/...171608734597120 source: http://tmblr.co/Za7raueCIGFE As it stands the narrative to the virus was developed by rocket's brother, an actual virologist working at the New Zealand's equivalent of the American CDC(missing source here but I distinctly remember rocket saying so in an interview). While that has been decided you as the player will still remain in control of providing your own stories and notes to the game. That said I probably wouldn't waste too much time on coming up with your own story for the virus. :rolleyes:

    DayZ Developer Blog 8th March

    See thats what you get for trying to be creative and avoid overstrained terms such as shitstorm. Also I like your picture. Whats the context ?

    DayZ Developer Blog 8th March

    I have to agree. Don't tease if you can't deliver. Thats just bad form and asking for an interwebz riot.

    Note Books

    Since spreading of diseases will be fleshed out in great detail you can expect this to become a major game mechanic: Source: https://twitter.com/...897936634896385 or http://lmgtfy.com/?q=rocket+spreading+disease

    Everything is going to be just fine.

    What populates a DayZ server?

    Whitelisting since it keeps hackers at bay most of the time. After paying for their scripts they cant be arsed to bother with such worldly things.

    Use for toilet paper

    Well while I dont agree on the priority list of the devs (implementing toilet paper vs fixing of numerous long standing bugs) I guess since toilet paper is in while not put it to some use. Surely you can use it to make a fire and other things along those lines but creating the need to empty your bladder on account of having toilet paper around is a bit silly. I am sure in order to take a piss you wouldnt need toilet paper (I know I dont) and when taking a shit I probably be content with taking leaves and last time I checked those were not in short supply.
