    Life or death. You choose

    keep a stack of wood on you so that when you find that fat cow you can cook it on the spot. as long as you gut the animal, and you leave at least 1 raw meat in its inventory, it won't go underground (might be a time limit, i've left the meat about 1-2 minutes once gutted no problem). I left a car wheel inside a cow once. Is there a sign outside my house that says dead-cow tire storage?!??

    Approaching a survivor.

    2nd survivor encounter, I parked an ATV (nearly out of gas) near the camp i took it from 30 seconds prior. i parked it straight in front of the previous owner. of course I only found this out after offering some steaks. he gave me a jerry can for his stolen ride. lol.

    Preferred Kit Loadout

    minimum loot raid kit aka leaving the tent kit: no backpack Compass, Map, Toolbox, NV if at night Hatchet Makarov + 4 mag (will drop if something better found). 3 bandage, 2 painkiller, 2 morphine, 1 heatpack, 1 cooked meat, 1 canteen, 2 soda, 2 beans, If you get tagged & chased by a zombie horde for more than a 5 seconds, it's very easy to bleed out and pass out while shooting them all. If you managed to stay alive, the cooked meat becomes crucial. Firearms I find are only needed on stairs. Only engage Zs if you are stuck inside or after leaving town. My hatchet has 90% of my kills =)
  11. Hi all, I tried a forum search but please let me know if this has been addressed elsewhere. I can access my tent, I can save a bunch of stuff to it (47 items so far). But if I try to add a 12th bandage, or a 5th G17 mag, or even a 2nd AK mag, it spits it outside the tent. Also any primary or pistol, will be spit outside the tent. This was the case even with 0 items inside the tent. Help ?

    Weapons will not go inside tent / ammo limit

    Thank you guys for replying. I pitched a 2nd tent behind the first (both on a small slope, maybe 5 deg or less). The 2nd tent accepts the weapons: 1 sniper rifle, 2 assault and two pistols. The first tent, even when it was empty, would spit out any primary or secondary weapon to any side of the tent. Maybe a glitch because of the slope, but it could help others to know. Also for your lolz: yesterday I put a m107 into a medicine box on the hospital roof (by accident, trying to switch primaries) and it seems it didn't fit the box - it dissapeared! *bang*

    Weapons will not go inside tent / ammo limit

    Oh, also a spare camping tent will always go behind the tent, not inside.

    Script restrictions?

    Back in now, seems ok.
  15. same. I was literally 2 meters away from my tent after several hours of raiding on a new found dirtbike, and kicked for #87. FUUUUUUUU

    Script restrictions?

    Got this (script restriction 87) today out of nowhere on US1165 and cannot log back in :(
  18. I played a bit of Arma OA in the downtime. I came back to my Day 5 character. This mod is pretty incredible. I died a bunch in Day Z but once I found a hatchet, matches and a water bottle I could stay alive long enough to actually start an adventure. And it has been a huge one for me. The map & compass came next, and I could plan my movements following elevation lines, raiding every deer stand I could. Hunting your own food is imperative for the lone-wolf player. It has not always been easy. I've negotiated for my life and have let others go. I was riding high, raiding cow country for meat & guns. I was under 1000 blood twice, blinded, yet i still managed to axe a rabbit after about 6 tries. I've crawled with broken legs to a town hospital. Basically I was the Joe Swanson story. But now I am 'stuck' on the perimeter of a city without even game to hunt. Every raid on the city costs me a food & drink refill, and the store is empty cans 2/3 of the time when I get there. My last warm meal was a small chicken. That was two days ago. I have enough cans now to make it to a water source, and back to the cow fields where I can set up my tents for the first time. Those who think I'm joking haven't walked the map unarmed. I agree with pretty much everyone who points out problems & bugs and there are like....many many of them! Lots of this buggy stuff is resulting from the Arma character interacting with Arma environment without the guidance of Arma mission scripts to clear the way. That's the trade-off we're used to, no? A massive open-world has to be mission scripted to keep your character inside the successful gameplay. For someone who 'plays realistically' inside most video games, the best part is testing the physics, testing the impact our choices make in the game, playing 'as you would in life' only griefing others when drunk & with friends. No same player can ever recreate the experience of a 'life' in the game. Same environment, same person playing, same 'mission' ('don't die') & rewards - completely different outcomes & adventure. Even if the Zs are a bit wacky, as a game experience this mod is awesome. Have my steaks for now. When i break a leg again on a Z pile you can wash it down with the ensuing tears. Not gonna say I won't quit one day out of pure frustration with some bone breaking bug but surviving this long has been a trip.

    Exploring the Shipwreck

    I swam/walked onto the shipwreck tonight. you do need a bit more light to see where you are swimming so not to glitch out. During the swim,I was flashing low temperature so i applied a heatpack as soon as I got on the ship. then for shits n giggles I tried to set up tent. It let me pitch a tent but I could not see or use it. It's probably on the water under the textures. Given the angle of the ship i'm surprised it let me try. fyi i have video also just not uploaded yet.
