    Spawning In woods and hills.

    You may know more about this issue than I do, but make sure everything is working correctly. Correct versions, no corrupt files etc. If you don't care much about your character, a suicide might fix it. Don't hold me accountable though!

    Thermal Weapons

    Of course' date=' but I do believe this is not what he/she was wondering. In-game, infected light up as if human. Here's a real-life picture of a human holding a lizard. [url']http://coolcosmos.ipac.caltech.edu/cosmic_classroom/light_lessons/our_world_different_light/images/lizard1_ir.jpg The question should be: what body temperature are we expecting the infected to be at? This would be interesting for thermal imaging, but since this is not a big part of the mod and something I hope won't be, I don't mind!
  3. I think a lot of the people you assign this hyper realism label are simply expecting the game to be a certain way, and to deliver a certain experience. Not so much hardcore or realism, but the experience of trying to survive in a horrific environment with little to no defense, while attempting to meet the friendly and avoid the cruel. As somebody who has been playing DayZ for a while, to me the tedious part is not scavenging for starting items but running around at the so called end-game which really doesn't have much to offer but merely hunting for sport. When ammunition and supplies are as abundant as they are--that is if you have the ability to gather it--survival is not difficult.

    Based on WHAT? They're infected, by the way. Yes, they do show up.
  6. I'm sorry' date=' I'm a vet now? After playing for only 3 days? =D Awesome. [hr'] Like I said, this guy is just trolling, or he's a pretty stubborn person. Constantly saying, "Your argument is invalid," and, "You guys are vets." What veterinary school did you attend?

    Cannot use flashlight?

    Take your time... and worst case scenario; SOS in morse code with your flashlight! I forgot to mention that you can find weapons with flashlights attached! Glock 17, Remington 870 and M4A3 are examples.

    No chat ?

    sethliopod: Yes, it will. I believe you can set up VOIP which is locked to direct in the control options, but I use your method because I'm a lazy bum. The same goes for vehicles. If you switch to the vehicle channel while in a car with your friends, everyone in the car will hear you talk. Regardless of what channel you're in, there should be a local sound that anybody near you can hear.

    Cannot use flashlight?

    The flashlight has to be held in your hands, which is the same as your pistol slot currently. This means that you need to put your flashlight in your toolbelt when you want to use a pistol, or your pistol in the backpack (5 slots) when you want to use a flashlight.
  10. I just don't think they want to put the time and effort in. Maybe they're looking for an excuse for making mistakes. That's fine! but... is this mod really for them?

    What is different on server difficulty

    The most notable difficulty changes are: Third person on/off, Crosshair on/off and Player markers (name when looking at people). These can be changed regardless of difficulty, so look for it in the server name to find a server of your choice!

    Thermal Weapons

    Here's one: AK-74 with the PSO scope! or... well... military gear in general. My personal view is that these weapons should be rare in the first place.

    Cannot use flashlight?

    If your flashlight is on your toolbelt, you need to right-click it and move it to your Pistol Slot. This only works when you don't have a pistol! A pistol or flashlight can be stored in a backpack and uses up 5 slots. Once in your pistol slot, you need to make sure your flashlight is in your hands and then press L. It's worth noting that actions are either performed by right-clicking an item in the gear (press G anywhere), or by scrolling the mouse wheel and then pressing middle mouse wheel to perform action.

    Weapons Range

    Hi, one of the best ways to practice and test is to go into the editor. 1. Press F1 and double click anywhere on the map. Press OK. Now you have a player placed. 2. Double-click near the player and choose "Empty" in the drop-down menu. From here, select Ammo or Vehicles depending on what you want to test. Choose different ammo and weapons boxes and place them near your player. 3. Press Preview and go look through the boxes. Shoot away!

    Lack of an Authentic World

    @Saul A2 with all its expansions provides *A LOT* of content. Hop into the editor. Place a player, then place Unit > Empty and look through all of the Weapons Boxes and Vehicles.

    Thermal Weapons

    I do not see any reason for this weapon to be in this mod. I had this rifle, and I'm glad it was gone when I logged in after patching to 1.7. Now I can enjoy the game again.

    Heli crash sites?

    Lack of an Authentic World

    I agree... and nor do I think rifles should be this accessible. The more civilian weapons available the more authentic it will feel, but as it is now there aren't many, and that's ok! Some of these changes may require a lot of work, and I'm OK with waiting. One thing that shouldn't be very difficult is making use of the vast amount of weapons available in the game already! And especially the SMGs and interesting variants. psst...the FN FAL is belgian!
  19. Did you play 1.7.1.4 or 1.7.1.5? The bugged zombie detection is supposedly fixed in the latter. Now, .5 is still not an easy version to play, but at least you shouldn't be dying to the game screwing you over. You'll learn how to sneak, avoid zombies, lose them, where to look for weapons and in no time you'll be loving the experience. Patience is key, and if you can--sneak around at night! The zombies will have a much harder time detecting you, but you will need to use your flashlight to navigate. You can right-click most items in your inventory (G) to interact with them. Go on a full server. As a newbie you have nothing to lose other than your mind. Try to approach people, type to them in direct chat, use your mic in direct. See if they want to co-operate. You'll run into the arseholes as well, but as long as you're unarmed, a surprising amount of people will help you out.
  20. That worked and got OA to run' date=' now to see if the CD key was written and if i can play DayZ now. Thanks! I'll post again with the results. [hr'] That worked! Thanks alot mate! But now it is saying that i do not have the .bin file for item.hatchet' date=' which updated recently. Im guessing if i update the Six Launcher it will sort out? [hr'] Used the Six Updater' date=' and now it says no bin\config.bin/CfgWeapons. D: [/quote'] Everyone gets some of the CfgWeapons, tactical_goggles etc errors. Just load in and play. You're fine.
