Hi Just starting up a new epoch mod server and would like to add a chainsaw to the traders..... Does anyone know the code to put in please?

So your saying you DONT actualy know what an ALPHA is....... He must be talking about the Standalone as the zombies in the mod are way to easy

Ok ya that worked thanks :)

Hi I have a PC where I play DayZ (and now Epoch) and im wondering when im out and about can I CARRY on playing the same character (using Steam or not) on my laptop... Thanks a lot :) Just installing on laptop now :D

Hmmm seems to of worked and i got my old character back some how, who while changing keys from default, Got shoot lol Thanks anyway :)

Hi I had stopped playing DayZ about 1 year ago because the game messed up (i installed the 1st addon mod with a jungle map... cant remember name, which did work)..... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I then installed it through steam and the game didnt work... I uninstalled everything Arma 2 + Exspansion + dayZ and reinstalled Still didnt work.... so gave up -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have now been trying for 2 days reading many forums etc on how to sort this and i still cant play... through steam it has been saying Bad version, on the server list page it says:- verion 1.62 Required (in red) 1.62.103419 1 error it throws up is:- Files"C:\ Programs Files...............\@dayz addons\dayz.pbo "C:\ Programs Files...............\@dayz addons\dayz_anim.pbo "C:\ Programs Files...............\@dayz addons\dayz_code.pbo etc are not signedby a key accepted by this server. to play on this server, removelisted files or install additional accepted keys. I deleted all these and they got replaced It also said ERROR:- addom 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CA_CommunityConfigurationProject_E' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I ran steam as Admin and updated all the games (and run them at least 1 time) and installed the beta version and run it in that mode and I installed DayZ commander and reinstalled all files and replaced the bad files found... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- now its getting onto a server but NOT playing, it gets stuck saying :- REQUESTING AUTHENTICATION and then times out.

I have seen this for years and I still haven't got a clue what he is REALLY saying :-(

Jesus.... There's something wrong with you.... Your clearly going to go buy it..... So GO BUY IT, then come back and tell us how you hated it after 5 minutes of play, so we can all say "we told you, and we don't care"

Dude people are being blunt and telling you "straight" because this debate has been going on for 8months about whether or not to buy and if its going to be good or not.... I have WarZ and its really not good and has nothing to offer.... It feels like a really cheap unfinished (sorry unstarted) CONSOLE game... At 1st I was like you saying well they haven't copied DayZ as they have screen shots of the game that show it miles ahead of DayZ and that can't be made up over night..... I was WRONG the screen shots from 8 months ago are more advanced than the game is now (I'm being honest), I really don't know how they got them screen shots to look so good but they are miles ahead of the games graphics. The interface is a good starting block, but it is a poor poor finished product (which it is because they won't update that) You can't kill some zombies....... I killed 1 zombie (3-4 hits) and then went to another one which I attacked and it just wouldn't die (over 100 hits) BUGGED..... If you can't kill zombies what's the point of the game? It's like playing pacman with out the power pills and the small pills.... Walking around aimlessly Now you say I'm not buying a game so I can get a mod..... I don't understand this? Now I have stopped playing the mod as I'm waiting for standalone, and I would probably advise you to wait for standalone as well, but what your saying makes no sense.... It's like saying I'm not buying a disk drive to load game up from DVD... Honestly weather you have to buy the game or not has nothing to do with it.... Look at it another way, your paying

Over complicated and I think there are a few holes in it... Best way to do it is like someone said above:- 1) is base still there yes=spawn in base where logged out 2) is base still there no= spawn above ground where base used to be... Easy As for if the player returns within hrs is not a good solution... Might be on holiday, taking exams so have to study so having a break from games, someone died so have to spend time with family, etc... Also if I want to destroy a base I want to destroy a base not make it weak.... But having said that if I'm just using grenades or something weak (compared to high explosives) then your suggestion might be good, where work benches, traps etc are destroyed but base is ok, so you can rebuild... But would you want a base that's already been found?

I don't thinking camping and hiding away would be an issue.... If your in a safe area that is hidden and very difficult to get into camping would just be stupid..... I know people camp in areas for 10 maybe even 15minutes.... But 8 months for someone to come along? Don't think this will happen.... And what's point of hiding away? If you don't want any action and don't want to do anything in game log off?

Ahh I see, but I don't think you can distinguish between the 2.... What's to stop me build a "clan" base for my self if I was dedicated enough and had the time?

The base should not be lost when you die..... It should remain the same because you and your friends should be building bases together... (A bit like you have 4-5 people now working in teams to put tents and cars together) There should be some sort of key making machine or what ever that makes keys to the base. These keys not only open the doors but shuts down security measures/traps etc The keys are then lost when you die (or stolen by other players)? If this is the case then you also need to be able to change the locks.. These locks can be physical or electronic? The key machine can be either at the start of the base, so when you go back and "pick the lock" of the base you can easy make the key....... But so can randomness (if they have the materials and time)...... Or it can be at the back of the base and you have to fight your way past all the active security measures to get your base back :-) On a kind of side note (that I mentioned before).... When members die and the base is empty a herd of zombies moves into the base as well (this is to signify your new character could be spawned on the issland months later, as in its NOT you... Your dead), so you have to fight past security measures and also mass zombies, hard when all you got is a hatchet you found on way back to base lol To understand what I mean here please think about walking dead and the prison clearing episodes. Also if you can break in and you have the right tools (C4 etch) then you should be able to blow it up.... But if you a lone wolf and you have the skill to break in you may be better using it as a place to loot stuff from.. I think lone players would use the bases as there personal stashes while the bigger group gather for him :-) And clans would go around looting and then destroying the bases...

So many things wrong with this post it's unreal.... 1) so your a hacker..... Low life scum bag, end off 2) call me a retard all you want after you read my comment properly, I said there are bots but they don't effect others and are caught, and banned but because they make money they start another account or buy other people's details.... They won't make money on dayz (the hackers I mean) so they won't keep on buying new accounts.... 3) manufactures can stop there games being hacked/copied but they lose money..... People go with the machine that can be hacked and make it more popular and so make more money of legitimate customers........moneys new machine is going to stop piracy but will probably be the downfall as not many will buy the console.....

Topic is finished and answered so you can lock if you want :-)
