There fixed it.. lol.

Will your broken legs heal over time or is morphine the only way to fix them ..??

LOL game is kind of buggy still .. I was just laying on a rooftop killing zombies and my leg broke. I did not even move.

That sucks I would hope over time it would heal without morphine. Say like 24 hours of play time with broken leg or something. Shock goes away over time.

It would not be boring if they upped the numbers of zombies to say 20 or 30 times what they are. Think about it. It is to be you and 100 other people left alive over like 40,0000 or so people . We see 200, maybe 300 zombies at the most .. Just think about 30,000 zombies .. Slow or fast would be real scary ..

Here is a way to find out what zombies would be best for Dayz. Night of the living dead or 28 Days later.

Here is my idea for zombies. 1. slow down there running speed. When a zombies is running and a player is running in front you can not tell the differnce. Make them run with there leg dragging or something to set them apart from a player. Yes i know they zig zag, but that is not enough. 2. Zombie Count. Add zombies to the world based off the population in Chernarus before the infection started. So say there was 5000 people in Chernarus before and you can hold 100 players in a server. Place 4900 in the world. Do not do respawns. As long as the server is up do not spawn more zombies. leave the count at 4900 minus what players killed. 3. No Respawns. Do not allow the servers to do respwans . Respawning Zombies or Gear. This is not real life. Lets try and make it more like it really would be.

IF they are not zombies then do not call them that. If you call them Zombies make the running speeds right and add more. Big hordes is what is scary .. Not 2 guys running crazy at you .

yeah for my work around that is all I did was turn the gamma up and i was able to see ..

I played for 5 hours last night in the dark.. I never saw the moon once or any real lighting from it. This 5 hours was on 1 server the whole time .

Dude how would you not change it .. There is no Moonlighitng.. It is just flat out wrong. real life night is not that dark. You have the moon to give you lighting . Also humans have night vision after 20 mins in the dark. Most can see shapes and outlines in the pitch black. How you have it now is soo fake.

When setting up the bandit system I think you should only get points for turning into a bandit if you are killing players that are not bandits. If you kill a bandit you get Hero points, and maybe use that for something to label you as a player that is Hero.

The night part i agree with night time in this game is total bullshit. Can not get more fake then total darkness. In real life you have moon light to let you see where you are going ..

Could do horns and halos over there heads too .. :)

Here is a few things I think would be cool if the game went standalone. 1. One world, One server: I will explain the best I can what I mean. I use to play alot of flying sims on a server called vatsim. You could fly from LAX to Say Japan and the Servers would change from LAX to Japan. The server swap was so smooth you could not even tell. Doing something like this in the background would give the player a sence of one world. Now I know you are all thinking Flying Sim are alot different from a FPS. In game play yes, but to a server not so much. All the server reads is the data and with new tech comptuers and faster internet banwith, there is no reason you can not see a few thousand on one server. I fully understand that if I was in Say LA there would be more then 1000 players in that area. To work around this make zones of say 100 km2 area. When the player count goes over say 1000 in that area move players joining that area into an overflow server. 2. Player Location: This is were the game would get cool. When you create your player, you input your real life address and the game based off google maps would rebuild your block you live in. From there the game would also build enough resources for you to live for one week. Based off your area for popualtion and how many players build a toon within your location. The game would then build that many Zombies within your area. So for example I live in a City with 300,000 and say only 10 players picked my City as there hometown. That would give us 299,980 Zombies within my area and only 10 weeks of supply. 3. If you can do it in the real world allow it in game: For example I am a Auto Tech in real life. When making your toon, you should be able to pick one skill. For me it would be Auto tech. I would be able to fix and get cars running. This allowing me to build a sence of being in the world. Also allow players to learn new skills within the world, based off finding books. This could give some cool search and find type puzzles. 4. A starting cutsence: Do like a 15 min or so cutsence explaing what happened and how you got where you are. This would give the game some time to build your custom starting area. 5. True Sandbox: allow players to build content within the game. If 10 poeple found an area they would like to stay for a bit. Allow them to build living areas, Fencing and other things to help them protect there way of life. 6. Build a trading system: I know at this point Money would be useless. But say food, guns, wood, metal and other things to live would not be. Allow players to go to set area to trade content. Or setup a market where you could bring your gear and trade it for others. 7. Add Planes and Boats : I could see an addon for content like planes, boats and other things like that .. Maybe tanks and what not. Making it real world there would be army based left uncontrolled. Maybe one could jump into a fighter jet and kill some Zombies like that. I know I am getting off base here. Overall I think the more you make it like real life the cooler it would be. I also understand that Game devs might not be fully able to build a game like this yet. It would be cool if the could though.

There is programs out there I use to build our sim race tracks now that use google maps to build our racing worlds. To build an addon system in game would not be that hard. It also would not crash your pc. The world would not be perfect but it would be there. If you were going for a 100% copy of the real world then you would need a artist to do the 3d modelling work in 3dsmax. Collision, textures based off what I have done in rfactor are just based off default dds files. If you tell the program all images that are white use grass.dds and all images that are black to use road.dds. Inside that dds file you have your collision and textures. Now if you see a gray box drop a default made building that you can go into. Again just another preset dds file or in a 3dmodel a max file. I can be done. Yes drawing the content live would take a bit more comptuer power live. That is why i said only draw a one block area and give the comptuer 15 mins to draw it . When you are watching you 15 min cutscene your comptuer in the background would be drawing your starting area. Now if you had a single core cpu, yes your computer would die. But most computers for gaming nowadays are quadcore cpus. They should have no problem running another program in the background.

I see alot of posts about players will log out quick when they are about to be killed. An easy fix for this if you are to log out in an open area or you are being shot. Make the game delay your logout for say 10 or so secs. Setup save zones for players like a tent they can climb into and from there they would disapear to all players and zombies and log out right away .

As for using Google maps to build the world. In the most part the terrian in 2d. I use to build racing tracks for rfactor.net mods and arca sim racing. We use google maps all the time to build default roads and other things. When placing in buildings and other things like that We used preset models and just dropped them in .. It really was not that hard. To do a small city I could build just the roads in a few weeks. Then you would just drop random buildings around the area. Now to rebuild say LA or New York. That would take some time.

Yeah I know for the most part in my life time we will never see a game like this. I have been planing a world war game like this for years. For the most part comptuer tech is just not able to do it yet.

What I think of zombies are once they see ya or get your smell they will not stop until you or they are dead.

I know being an Arma 2 mod this may not be possilbe but here is goes. Make the zombies die by headshot only. If you shoot them in the chest make them drop and then get back up. Make it so you can cut off or shoot off limbs. Then based off what limb is removed make move based off that. So if they lost both limbs they would drag them selfs by their arms to try and get to you. Also Zombies should be in larger hordes .. Sure make a few loners but make most in bit setup groups. It is the huge hordes that get you not the single zombies.

Yeah when i shoot them in the chest they die. that is not right. Should be in the head only. maybe a newer mod fixed this.

I agree with this guy .. ^^^^^^

Dude real zombie movies the zombies move at a slow to med pace. Never at a full sprint .. And I 35 years of age bud. The bad zombie movies only had the zombies sprinting ..
