BIOSEMTEX

Well he has just effectively closed his mod to me and many others because he is trying to do what he thinks is right. I am able to look past my own disappointment and respect his reasons for doing it. It is quite easy to get emotional about this game. I suggest you give him a little while to cool off and ask to be whitelisted again. His mod is precious to him, you should respect that, not give him 15 reasons why he is stupid for being emotional over it, at a time when he is feeling very vulnerable, because his work has just been violated. Surrounding yourself with yes men is never a good idea for a leader, however, venthos is also a creative person, an artist even. Let him be passionate about his art and he will make something beautiful for us. If he wants to be angry about people using his work before it is even finished, that is his choice. Possibly not the healthiest choice, but it is his to make. Somebody vandalized my San Pedro cactus to get high. Should I be able to not be pissed off because I knew that someone would? Let's hope venthos does not do with his mod what I did with my cactus.

I am assuming your post was directed at me, my post was not specifically directed at you, more the people that stole venthos' code to make a profit for themselves. But if the cap fits, wear it. And yes I did read your posts on redux and even agreed with at least one of the points you made, I was very aware of all the others as being based on 'fact'. I am sure you feel strongly about your opinions, and being devil's advocate is something I am all too familiar with. But, venthos is a person and should be treated like a person, especially by a community that would not exist without dedicated people like him who do what they do because they love it. When degenerates come along and treat him like a mule that is only there to pull their wagon, I think that is wrong, and so do many others. Apathy is the decay that taints our modern culture. I hope you can understand why we would like to protect and support him as a person and not a mule. Even if it is just for a computer game.

A person that is unable to empathise with others and purposefully puts their own desires before morals or principles is generally referred to as a psychopath. Roughly 1 in 100 people is a psychopath (for once I didn't make up a statistic). Which one of those hundred do you think you are?

Sit down, eat some magic mushrooms, and trip your fucking bollocks off.

The satisfaction of murdering someone for an assault pack is the same as it used to be for a coyote. Imagine what it is going to be like when you murder someone for a coyote now.

Awww you started a Disney server, how cute.

A story: Tried to nade some guy in the supermarket at elektro, which was a fail. He came round the side so I tried to shoots him with my AK, throw a smoke nade at him instead. He shoot me with winchester. Smoke nade says, "hisssssss". I dieded. Stoopid F key amnesia.

You will know where the map ends because there is not even any grass on it. The loot maps on the net are incomplete. You can go a long way north and and a short distance west beyond most of the popular loot maps.

What this mod needs is more shotguns. It was so satisfying cutting snipersqrl in half with pellets today.

Have you got a TS3 server Venthos? Maybe we could organise some test sessions and give you real-time feedback after a patch? Let us testers know if we can be more helpful in any way.

The combat log system has worked flawlessly for me up to this point. However, I have problems with desync, cos I am in New Zealand, so it is probably just a matter of time until I fall foul of it, undeservably. (<---is that a word?) The problem with the internet (bear with me) is that everyone acts as if they won't get caught. "The true test of a man's ethics, is in how he would act, should it be possible to never be caught", quote from somewhere (kudos ancient dude) perhaps Rome Total War splash-screen, I can't remember... Point is! Give them a 25% chance of dying on disconnect (oh dear, the RNG). That's a 75% chance they will live if it is an accidental disconnect (btw I try to never shoot zombies if at all possible, definitely don't start shooting them if you are yellow-chaining), but also, a 25% chance they will get caught. Let them roll the artificial death dice, if they want to play dirty.

What about Australians living in New Zealand? We are a rare breed .

In regards to your events plans and heli crashes. I read a post ages ago that suggested the choppers could be operated by AI and flying around for a bit before crashing. That would be really cool, especially if you could shoot them down! I like the idea of NPCs as well. Lore: They could be a special forces squad sent in to perform a mission maybe? (e.g. search and rescue of a ditched pilot or, clear area at cherno to recover sensitive item from safe in the hotel or something). Any remaining government forces would be at the mercy of our anarchic environment.

Heh, Shadybitz and I always seem to end up doing things we shouldn't and getting ourselves killed. Especially in that area and usually with a blue van. The funniest time was when we both got killed because shady fired his Enfield in the supermarket and drew every zombie in that town on to us. The time I accidentally threw a grenade was not so funny... but you get the idea. If you had called out friendly we definitely would have tried to kill you, so you made the right decision there. I was already lucky to be alive at that stage after bumping into someone in the forest near Berezino and he let me live (shoulder wiggle ftw), being shot up while driving the van by some guy with an AK (I almost bled out from that one) and then having you snipe us while we were having a good ol' aussie BBQ in the woods (no beer unfortunately, can we have beer plz Venthos?!). So it was a hell of a fun night. My nerves were shattered! I have experienced chloroform, it was funny, shady lol'ed a lot, I waited 3.5 mins. Is it possible to make a stab attack similar to this if you have a combat knife? Stealth kills (melee even) would be cool.

Damn you guy near NE airfield in the middle of the night! You messed me and my friend up and made me crash the van! Twice! *shakes fist*

Choppers are great! Except when you haven't got one. Is it possible to make the choppers use different fuel than the cars and boats? Making aviation fuel only available at the airfields could make refuelling potentially very dangerous. Perhaps you could put the fuel truck in as well? For refuelling away from the airfields? Fuel truck still needs to be refilled at airfield? IMO some sort of mechanic needs to be introduced to reduce vehicle hoarding. I would like to see people using them more and hiding them less. Am I jealous? Yes I am.

Don't eat too many rabbits... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_starvation

Today I 'tested' a lot of deer hides. My initial data suggests one or more of the following: A ). The loot table hates me. B ). Venthos does not want me to have a hunting rifle. C ). I need to check waaaay more deer hides to get a hunting rifle. D ). All of the above. I am pretty convinced it is definitely A. I couldn't even find an Enfield yesterday. I ended up 'testing' the barracks at NW airfield (as you do) and got myself killed by a Mike Tyson zombie (I hate those fuckers). How the hell do you turn off emoticons?

May I suggest this as the unofficial theme song for your mod....? Updated and ready to jump in the fire!!!

So what you are saying is that Rocket is currently operating with only half a brain? Mmmk makes sense....

Just spotted Cherno Journo on the SurviveDayZ Mod server. @ Venthos You should ask him to give you an interview on your mod for the publicity. He is famous, hur. Plus his accent is mad sexy. P.S Is it possible to add zeroing to the crossbow?

I lol'ed. And I don't even speak Russian. Please can I have a transcript.

Wow. Looks like you got some serious interest here Venthos. Kewl. I have some ideas, use them or ignore them, especially if they are impossible or stoopid. I am a big boy, I won't be offended. Ideas for flares: Attract zombies like smoke grenades do. Do damage like cans and bottles do (setting zombies on fire would be nice). Ideas for Jerry cans: Shoot them they explode. Pour gas on ground, throw flare at spilled gas, buuuurrn! (setting anything on fire is always nice). Ideas for eating/drinking: Fill water bottle when it rains. Eat fruit off trees in orchards. Drink water from pumps and dams even if you have no water bottle. Eat raw steaks (gives less blood but is an option). Degradation and repair of vehicles (toolbox a requirement to fix vehicles): Regular maintenance with toolbox stops vehicle degradation (once a day or it loses 0.1). Where the vehicle is hidden (in the wilderness loses 0.2 per day it is not used). New item: Oil (10 uses per can, used with toolbox restores some vehicle degradation). Medical system: New Item: Medical kit (rare item, uses backpack slot, unlimited bandages, morphine, epi pen, painkillers, antibiotics and chloroform). Ok, so that is some of the stuff I have thought about over the last 3-4 months. All the folks that have already suggested these to sprocket & Co. Ltd. I didn't steal your idea, we just had the same one independently <----- pre-emptive flame retardation

I was standing well back and sirrat was doing the flipping, he was positioned at the back left corner while using the menu. Bystander damage is funny, leave that shit in! Hopefully I will be able to test the chloroform soon, any volunteers? I saw someone flying the little bird when I was omw to the ATV spawn, I was jealous! I only had a tractor.

Okies, been testing this afternoon. ATV flip worked fine for me to a point. Tried it twice no problem righting it again, then I picked up a guy (sirrat) and we flipped it again, when he tried to right it, ATV broke his leg and knocked him unconscious, amusing considering I assured him it was safe...heh, whoops. Just for fun I loaded sirrat onto the ATV while he was unconscious, but I noticed the option in the menu did not disappear after he got off, 'unload patient ep_v1' or something similar. I never knew you could kidnap unconscious folks in your vehicle, is this new? Next time I flipped, it was on a bridge, when I righted it, ATV disappeared. I looked under the bridge and there it was, on four wheels again. I checked 2 heli crash sites and there was very little loot. On both there was a loot pile inside the wreck of the chopper itself with nothing more than a bandage, soda and morphine. On one of the wrecks there was also only a single empty soda can, that spawned outside the fuselage. I am not sure how the loot spawn works on these but I made sure I parked my vehicle a long way off and walked up to the second one. Just gave my ATV to another guy just before logging, hopefully he has morphine handy, heh. Also, toolboxes are not that rare, I think needing one to repair vehicles would not be too much of a stretch. In fact, finding a vehicle and not having one would definitely drive the 'I need a goddamn toolbox adventure' quite nicely. Let me know if you want test data sent elsewhere, other than this thread. @BlindProphet you should be in the toolbox, cos you are a tool, and not a very sharp one at that.
