Barbed wire, dead millatary NPC? I wish to see if deleting these file's or editing them so the color of these items are deleted so i can see if this can temp fix the artifacts ingame! I know th patch might be out today, later, next week, never.... but its still worth a try as if anything like this happens again i will be able to help provide a temp fix untill that patch fixes that problem.

Ayone know where the files are for.....
jamestrendall replied to jamestrendall's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I know it may interfere with server side causing me problems but its worth a try if it fails and i cant join a server then i can always just reinstall DayZ and arma 2 to fix that, I know he care's and is working on alot of things to release in the patch, But im trying to shut people up moaning about the artifacts and find a temp fix for them, (and myself). Im currently trying to open "misc.pbo" in Arma 2 files but it seems to crash notepad and all other file software i can find! it maybe due to the large file size but im persisting, I might even stumble upon something Rocket might miss (i doubt it but he is looking at things he knows im just scrolling page by page) If anyone knows of the file it would be great if you could let me know, If not i guess i will keep trying to open these files and see if i can find the item's. -
+1 This!

I dont know what exactly you came to the forums expecting. But im sure as shit you didnt expect these response's. It dosnt matter if your the biggest youtuber or if your huge hefner! someone is always going to fuck with your shit! If your camp was found try hiding it better next time! friends and I have spent around 4hours placing tents in exactly how and where we wanted them also if you find our camp you are more then likely to only find the one tent not the others!... If you are getting fed up with your camp being destroyed then tough shit someone will do it! Or you will have lots of people trying to get on youtube by chasing you and running in front of you!.... Now for hackers!!!! Get ready to press F9 to start recording as soon as you get teleported spin round see there name tag's then email battleye the video link and GUID if you know it! Everyone should have a screen recording device ready to capture just in case! keep fraps running ready or when you start to see a few people die rather close together press record!

Barbed wire file location? idea to fix artifacts!
jamestrendall posted a topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
Hey so as we are waiting for the new patch i was woundering could it be possible to "delete" the barbed wire from the game files to fix the artifacts glitch? I have been searching the DayZ files to try and find the barbed wire and see if i can remove it or atleast hide the graphics for that individual item in-game! It would be alot easyer next time for rocket just to give details of how to delete/hide/make item invisable via editing the game files. Im sure people would be greatfull for this while we wait for the patch to fix the problem! The only thing i can think of that could cause a problem is people running in to a building and getting stuck on an invisable barbed wire but hey this idea is going to come with a price and thats that! Cant wait for the new patch, untill then i going to see if i can find the files to edit the barbed wire and make it so it dosnt affect me anymore! -
Hacks and counter hacks!
jamestrendall replied to jamestrendall's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Nope im not a hacker i just wish some vigilante would counter hack these scum bags! well not me but it would be funny to troll hackers and see them rage for not being able to have there fun! -
Barbed wire file location? idea to fix artifacts!
jamestrendall replied to jamestrendall's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
I would guess so yes. But a temp fix would be really easy either open a file find xxxxx change value to xxx <this would change the color/visability of barbed wire npc and vehicles so you either have to be stood on top of it to see it or just make those pixals invisable! Or you could delete the corasponding files... Im sure alot of people would be very happy for this to happen, Dont get me wrong im not one to moan "i cant play fix it now the patch is overdue" type of person, I would rather wait an extra week or 2 while they test the fix just incase other players become affected and i cant see anything near a friend! -
Get your friend to do the exact same as you did but record every minute of it untill he is banned. Once banned you can post the video here and prove the server owner/admin is a complete ass sucking dirt bag and was burt hurt because you have caught him doing something naughty! This is why EVERYONE should use a recording software to 1 expose hackers and have them banned in a few minutes by the DEV/Battleye team, Also shows who the badmins really are.... If we expose these people they will end up paying for a server they will never see any other player in. The only thing for them to do is pay the £20 a month or whatever it is to rent a server just to dup items and load in to a new server! Now if they are duping then surly the DEV team can see it and ban them also shut down there server! Edit: just seen the server admin post! why not check the player logs and see what he was doing! I am pretty sure aimbotting/scripting would pop up! also how can you prove the players your friends with are not lying and are not butthurt for being killed!

focus on dayz and other programs at the same time
jamestrendall replied to stylenny7's topic in DayZ Mod Troubleshooting
The only way to do this is use a second computer/laptop. Or use a program that allows you to use 2 different keyboards at the same time one for each screen. Some players in EVE use setups like this to run multiple corps at the same time. If you have 1 screen set to view the game with keyboard 1 the program allows you to use keyboard 2 on the 2nd screen to do everything else. it also dosnt shut down the game window while you are doing something else. (i believe you cant use your mouse tho) Dont ask me what the program is called i have no idea but i do know it is out there! -
US 722- Hackers Teleporting people to him and killing them!
jamestrendall replied to Cheeseiron's topic in Mod Servers & Private Hives
This is the joy of recording game play you get perfect evidence to ban hackers! i wounder if get satisfaction works with this? -
My sugestion would be if we could run servers that require a payment of say £5 or more. nothing above £20 to play on the server for a year this would deter hackers. If they pay for the use of the server and start hacking then they will get banned and be removed without refund! Now i know some people could ban unfairly and keep the cash. So if the DayZ DEV's could build some type of logging tool that detects a hack or something dodgy going on they can be the one's that ban only. then its down to the server admin's to reinburse the players affected with there items back! even if dedicated DayZ servers run by DayZ DEV's were pay a subscription to play a year im sure ALOT of people would play on them, unless battleye start to detect hackers almost instantly or say a week tops for new hacks then this is the only way i know to remove hackers from game's. It would suck for most as we could be forced to play free servers that are hacker riddled but atleast we have an option to leave hackers behind and play in a safer enviroment protected by DayZ DEV's that allow us to pay £5-20 a year to play on. This way the game could be free to download and free to play on player run servers, or if we decide to pay we get a dedicated server that is hacker free! If a hacker decides to be a douch and pay's to hack in this server DayZ get to keep there cash and kick/ban there guid from the game completely! removing them from free server's also. I know this is not a very thought out plan but its a rough idea of what could be done to deter hackers and save the game from cheating scum. If you need to hack then you dont deserve to own a computer! Why cant a anti hack dev team come up with a way to destroy all hardware in hackers PC's once they are confirmed hacking! windows could do this if they hosted an anti hack software they could remove windows validation from peoples computers forcing them to buy windows again to try and hack! its a win win situation... Hackers pay out LOADS of £££'s to use hacks windows profit, we get reduced hackers in game and hack dev sites are forced to shut down due to no one wanting to buy there hacks in fear of windows revokation! I have no idea what linux is but im sure there is someway to do the same thing for mac's and linux and any other software out there. Lets take a stand and start costing these waste of scum money.... I wish there was a clause in the game terms and conditions that could open victims of hack users a way to sue the hacker's. I know i would be in court the next god damn day if i could take a hacker to court and sue them for loss of enjoyment due to mallicous 3rd party software abuse within game's.

Thats why you use paypal or another online payment process to pay the sub, then you use the reference number on the reciept to prove you paid for that slot to the admin/owner
-
I mean the game is free to own but to play on protected servers you have the option to pay only £20 a year not a month. I agree with this! slot selling would be a good idea but i said DayZ DEV team do it to stop greddy players from stealing money!

NOOOOO! myfriend and I loved this server it was a great server for new players to get in to the game. We will surely miss you! If we find a new server i'll let you know and you could maybe join our 2man group. We survive snipers like a boss the otherday we went in to electro and was being sniped but we manage to get in and get what we need then head out to contest these guys. They end up running away from us! come join us and play together on a new server. the more people we get in the group the higher the population server we can rule!

I would be raging soooo bad right now if that was me!!!! But its not...... Whenever i kill someone out of cold blood like this for shits and giggles i always leave there stuff on the ground except there beans and soda's... Maybe if i can replace the ammo i used on him... Most times they rage quit but if they dont and run back to there corpse they will find there stuff there ready for them! Im a kind bandit.... Also i shoot 1 warning shot everytime right passed a players head then my friend talks over comms that was a warning shot try anything stupid we will kill you.... Now what can we do for you? we help others but if they fuck with us we destroy them and steal everything and hide the body to be sure....

Getting kicked from servers that are near empty!
jamestrendall posted a topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Ok so i just joined 2 different servers and the first one i get a message while checking my map you have been kicked! The second scumbag that kicked me was called kasei i cant remember what the server was called but he was the only NOOB on the server! If they are going to kick people when they are the only person on the game why rent a bloody server! i am spending more frigging time looking for a server i can play on maybe just explore the map or something..... Im going to name and shame every person that does this starting from now i will list server and player/admin name!!!!! If you see them in your servers kick them and when they post i got kicked for no reason we can all bash them and tell them to get back to there lonely server and keep whoring vehicles you damn numptys.... -
This is why your friend should go prone in the tower its not as easy to get shot that way.... Also when you hear gun fire why not stay in the building they will either get bored and leave thinking you alt+f4 or they come in to inspect the body and you kill them..... then you stay waiting for your friend to get back and get his stuff! Dont go looking for a fight let the fight come to you!

Getting kicked from servers that are near empty!
jamestrendall replied to jamestrendall's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I have that problem the only server thats near empty i have joined that hasnt kicked me is pitch black and thats a US server thinking its daylight over there now.... All i want to do is go explore the map and see if i can find a heli crash/vehicle spawn... I havnt seen a vehicle spawn anywhere yet and i havnt seen a heli crash i could get some loot from... I dont want to raid the loot from the empty servers just explore! why is the sun broken on most server's ..... I join a GMT+8/-8 and its pitch black regardless!!!!!! If you host a server wouldnt you want to take pride in that and welcome everyone in. let people know its daylight ect.... -

I find myself waiting for my friend to take down the wire untill i can see a bit better and run in grab what i can then head back out to restart my game.... Im lucky i havnt seen a player while having problems... ALT+F4 is allowed to be used when you have artifacts lol

To all spawn killers out there!
jamestrendall replied to Scratchz's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I agree a newly spawned player is no fun at all i would atleast give him a pistol to help him on his way and if i see him a few dayz later or even 28dayz later i will open fire unless you direct comms while walking with lowered weapon. if i spawn in on the beach and some guy is acting like a douch and starts shooting me i just think your a dick quickly use my bandage and laugh on direct comms while he waste's ammo. I respawn grab a hachet and then head back to him and kill him while laughing evilly down the mic as i cutu his frikking legs off, -
Trading AS50, Rangefinder, Night Vision Goggles (Choose two) for a ghillie suit.
jamestrendall replied to [email protected]'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
If you both publicly make a trade decision and one or the other decide to try something funny and ruin the trade then all you have to do is post a do not trade with list in the forums and people will know not to trade with them. Im all for trusting a trade and or medic help I would gladly turn up on my own i would use my server to get to that location then log in to the mutal trade server sit there with no weapon drawn with the items on the floor ready! If you turn up and blast be in to next week i will post your name on the forums as a do not trust this player for trades or medical help! Little things in the game like trade's medic's ect.... can go along way and should not be abused they sshould be respected in every aspect.... We go out of our way to help others we are willing to put ourselfs at risk to trade items to help you or ourselfs if you cant respect those mutal rules then your not a human being your just scum that breeds under rocks and deserve to have your nuts cut off stopping you from ever breeding even more rock breeding scum that can ruin a players life in DayZ when you ask for trade's.... The only other way to do this is add each other on steam you log in and lay down gear and log out from that server so it tells me on steam you have stopped playing i do the same on my server or any server we decide to choose letting each other know. when i have logged out you log in to the server i was in and i log in to the server you was in and pick up the traded items. that way it could be a little bit safer.
