I spawned on the coast and in the bottom right it said "Factory". For the life of me I cannot find this location on any of the maps I've looked at. Anyone know where I am?

I've been experiencing this a lot lately (this weekend). For example, how I died just now: I'm moving up the stairs in the castle, and I hear someone hyperventilating upstairs. So I'm being very careful, creeping up slowly and looking up the stair opening so that I don't get surprised. I move to the top and there's a bandit there, just standing there, looking away from me at about 130 degrees, looking into the woods somewhere. So I take aim and empty my clip into his head. He keeps simply standing there, not moving at all. I move down the stairs a bit while I reload but suddenly I start bleeding! I bandage myself and I move up the stairs to shoot the bandit again and he's still standing in the exact same spot and looking exactly in the same direction. He still hasn't moved at all. And I start bleeding again and losing blood rapidly and before I can shoot him again I die on the stairs =/ I know this is Alpha but... can someone please explain this to me? Like I said this isn't the first or only time this has happened to me this weekend...

Oh thanks! I still can't find it on any of the out-of-game maps (including the hi-rez one), but at least I know where I am now :)

I press prntscrn, go to mspaint, paste, and all there is is just black. Like the whole image size is filled with black, there's nothing there. And I can't find any folder where the game puts screenshots either. Help please?

Weren't you guys hacking? I saw some posts about that... you know that would explain what's going on with your servers lol. And yeah, public thread for this?

I wouldn't shoot them unless they present themselves as a threat.

Oh, so it's more widespread than I thought... when I started whining about this in the server chat it seemed like I was the only one this was happening to. I know this mod is in Alpha, but things like network code that handles this should already long be in place from the base game, Arma2, right? So if that's the case, does it mean even with more work done on the game this is to be normal for the mod? Are other Arma2 mods like this, too? Or does this have to do with the face that every server is connected to one "hive" server and everything has to go through it first?

So let's pretend the game is getting funded to be developed. What kind of map (or maps) do you guys wanna see? Bigger maps? Smaller maps? More open maps? Less open? More towns? Etc... Me, I want to see more focus on urban maps. Maybe even have like a huge map (maybe half size of the Chernorus map) and it being a big city, with suburbs and the city outskirts. So like the city outskirts would have some farms, barns, etc, and this is where players would spawn and they could find some poor equipment here and not a lot of zombies. Then they would move further into the city, into the suburbs where they'll mostly see residential areas, some malls maybe, to gear up a bit and more zombies would be there. Then in the centre of the city this is where the best loot would be, but also have the most amount of zombies (and bandits). What about you guys?

Known bug in 1.5.7 is that crashed heli site loot gets deleted. You'll have to wait for next patch.

I'm confused what these mean in the server name? I figure it has to do with some servers not allowed 3rd person view, but what exactly is each one? Could someone please give me a break-down? Like, Normal is this this, Expert is this this, etc? I'd appreciate it :)

Oh I see thanks. I was hoping it was like an easy classification of which server has 3rd person and crosshairs... Is there any way to see what the server has set it to, before joining it?

So anyone know what the G19 sidearm is? I should have taken a screenshot I guess. I'll take a screenshot the next time I see it again.

I got kicked off a server while I was climbing a ladder, now I logged into another server and I'm inside a building. Like, not in the room or hallway or anything, but where brick would be, you know? Like I clipped through the building... How the hell do I get out now without respawning?

There is seriously nothing that can be done about it? I know sometimes people would log in and spawn on the beach, but have all their gear, and someone would say that everyone's location was reset. Is that possible to do?

Cause it's getting pretty ridiculous...

That's it, I've had enough of "friendlies" getting me killed. I've never actually been shot by a survivor, but I've been killed by them enough times. Everytime some survivor tries to buddy up with me they are just idiots and attract zombies and then just run at me like I'm gonna save them... and get me killed.. No more. If you're an idiot who threatens my survival, I'm killing you and taking your beanZ. Heck, I actually feel that I would feel safer with a bandit by my side because at least I know they are more experienced and know how to survive.

I hope this mod gets ported to a more robust engine, then =/ Or better yet Rocket mans up and starts a kickstarter and makes a stand-alone game for this.

What's a G19 sidearm? Is that allowed? I've seen it twice in the world, and once on a bandit, but the wiki has no entry for it...

I already see 3 servers that are passworded. This has to stop quick before it's too late. Players on those servers just load themselves up with loot without any risk, then they can go and join any other public server and because of persistence they have the gear they looted from the safety of the passworded server. This is outright exploiting and cheating the system. Rocket, you have to put a stop to this!

I commend you! On behalf of everyone that only has time to play during late evenings, I thank you very much. Now I will finally get to see what the game even looks like when it's light!

Awesome work, dude! Good job! May I suggest making the markers a bit more understandable? Your Residential marker, for example, to me I don't even know what it's supposed to look like. Other than that I applaud your work! If you want help mapping out cities/towns and other locations let us know how we can help!

Is there a more detailed Arma2 map anywhere? Like, one that marks barns and stuff, and houses that can be entered?

What is your effing problem dude? If you're so butthurt about cheaters go make a separate thread about it. Why go to a completely different thread discussing a very legitimate concern about people exploiting the game just so you can throw up your arms and go "oh you think that's bad? I was in a game with a cheater! WAH WAH WAH" Grow up.

I like your optimism, but when the talk is about Brazilian and Russian servers I guarantee you they are not there dutifully looking for bugs.

I logged in, made a step forward, died. Turns out when I logged in there was somewhere right behind me and he promptly shot me in the back. Dumbest death ever.
