I guess we should weigh the points here. It'll help private server admins spot obvious hackers. Some innocent guys might get banned from these servers but that's happening now anyway. It can also be used by abusive server admins to track players and vehicles more easily. Well, that's happening too, be it admins or not. The only difference is how accurate it is compared to map hacks out there. (videos folks) This is only a slightly more effective tool for abusive admins and a much more effective tool for honest and legit admins that want to prevent the hackers from destroying their server. This might help catch even more map hackers. Having the ability to watch people play rather than read long logs might make policing a server more enjoyable and make administering a server less of a chore. The pros outweigh the cons from my standpoint. It doesn't sound like this will be possible in the standalone anyway but I could be wrong.

Namalsk is pretty interesting. I just wish it was bigger. The atmosphere of the map is terrific. Chernarus a very close second followed by Lingor. Also (edit: spam removed. :) )

Digging this. Just watch Sac get sacked. I also liked seeing a guy score a kill with a crossbow.

That would work if the servers were not all connected by the hive.

Easy. Find a vehicle. I think a bike will work but any vehicle will do.. Make sure you have plenty of food and water and then go find a blue construction dumpster. Now, pull up right next to it and exit the vehicle. You should end up IN the dumpster. Now go prone. No one will be able to see you. And as far as I can tell, no one will be able to shoot you. You can hide in the dumpster for a very long time assuming you don't starve to death or die of dehydration. Easy. Safe. Reliable. Cowardly. But SAFE!

The only downside to the hero skin is all the chaffing caused by all the clothes changing.

I found tons of resources on the BI forums and wiki when I first looked into it. Quite a few people contributed tutorials and walkthroughs and even suggested alternative programs for the initial design of custom maps. Keep looking? Read through some threads? Run various searches? [from other thread :) ]

derp, wrong thread

I'm hoping the chance of being killed by zombies while looting is a bigger problem.

Home sweet home.

It's Oct 14th. They're aiming for a November release of the standalone. Do we really need an update for the mod? Unless it reduces the hacking problem I say no.

Or, put your tent into any dam. If you get close enough only the smallest bit of tent will stick out of the dam and it'll be hardly noticeable.

If you're really clever with this you can put a tent in a tent in a tree. Then even pros will overlook your actual tent.

Every game is going to have hackers. It just sucks more here since we're not all spawning in a box 10 meters from each other. I've had great luck on private hives and whitelisted servers. The only hackers I come across are using very passive hacks. They still ruin the fun but I'm not getting teleported, script killed, or shot by some hacked weapon.

Super Hardcore Auto Aim: Off Armor: Off Players on Map: Off Crosshairs: Off First Person: Off Third Person: On Peripheral Dots: Off Death Messages: Off Scoreboard: Off My suggestion.

This plus: Bottles of bleach with X remaining uses. Water filters. Probably a tad rare given the setting. (http://www.rei.com/category/4500461) Pots to boil water in.

I noticed the amount of players and how long the server has gone without a reset impacts the loading time. I would have just found a better server.

Sounds like you were playing with the Gaggle of Douchebags clan. Clans are usually only as good their leadership.

The guy that actually created the port did all the work, asked permission to actually use the map created by an ArmA community member, gave credit where credit was due, and continued to support the open nature of the mod by releasing it to everyone to be run on any server and on any host. Villayer comes along, snatches the code, locks it down so it can only run on their network, slaps their logo on it, claims they did all the work, and shit on the community. That's pretty cliffy.

We don't need daddy Rocket to tell us what's flat our wrong.

I do almost the exact same, minus the third person. Remind me to ask Rocket for a "no first person" option. I'll say this again, the "fairness" problem only arises when first person players and third person players play on the same server. I say, force everyone into third person. That's the opposite side of the coin. Don't see why it's not as valid.

M9sd is nice but it's rare and so is the ammo. Definitely a good sidearm. G17 is more common, has a flashlight, and the ammo is easy to find so I usually take that.

Sounds like everyone is playing on a mostly original version of Panthera.

What? http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/98907-new-map-panthera-whats-your-opinion/#entry932019

This is the kind of thing the community should stand against. This type of shit needs to be squashed now before the standalone comes out.
