Okay, so my idea is to add a new item to the game. the beam radio , so for thoose who don't know what it is i'll explain in the spoiler. So the beam radio should be in use for transmitting as well as recieving radio. The radio item which is already ingame should allow you to recieve only. I'd make the beam radio a placable on the ground, which should have a menu with theese four options: ->changing the direction it sends(I'd use a compass for and a map in this menu, so you can be more effective in pointing). ->changing the angle you can transmit signals. I'd say from a minimum of around a parrallel beam, which is about 10 to 20 meters(must be tried out how excact) up to a 30° angle(have to be tried out as well). ->set to auto broadcast a short message(like a grid ref) evry 5-10 minutes. ->set to auto repeat mode(repeating any incoming radio signal to the pointet direction). If it's not possible to make it a placement with theese options than it should be carryable, so you can set the direction yourself, as this is the most important point of a beam radio. So as seen from the menu options, you can only recieve signals(texted as well as voice) only in the angle. The range should be unlimited and (even if it's not realistic) the signal(quality) should not be affected by the countryside or weather as it would make it an almost useless tool. I'd say you have to stand either very close to the beam radio or have to be in its menu in order to write/voip in the (new added) radio channel. I'd also say that any signal which passes the mountain should be repeated from their and so be accesable to listen over the whole map. The radio channel, should take in all transmissions coming across your position,but allow you to filter that you can only hear/read what a specific station/s(Id of the station not the player) sends, so now let's come to the possibilties it would offer: 1. You can communicate with other survivors without the danger of getting you position noticed like in the direct chat (using a small angle). 2. You can become a radio moderator with you own show! This would somehow add the feeling of not bein alone out there for other players hearing your broadcast. 3. Your clan would have a ingame tool for high range communications within the clan or with other groups, you want to discuss without the danger of getting hit immediately. 4. You can broadcast a emergency signal, which your local medic could recieve, and then goes helping you. 5. It's save if you want because you can encrypt text messages with real methods(handwork or tool) and trying to decrypt a enemys clan message would add an awesome new atmosphere. And the best thing, it's a verry realistic scenario as there always were amateur radio fans in real world crysis getting and repeating emergency signals and rebuilding a communication network, so help could be organized, as well as sending "the truth" from the place where things happen and the government supresses free journalism. If there'll be a real apocalypse theese guys will be the first ones sharing informations and networking, in order to survive and bring humans together again. As i'm neither an amateur radio guy nor in radio systems at all, i'd please you to optimize this idea with technical know-how. Of course evrybody should feel free to comment discuss and improve the idea.

yeah there's something wrong with teamspeak atm, can you add me on steam nev2k

So, where do you are and where do you need a ride to?

Of course i'am not able to check this, but i just wanted to mention it

I'm there for help right now (even if i'm not an TMW member, but i wanna apply). Teamspeak would be ideal, and i'm in the south east/central.

So, as this independant medic stuff didn't work, i'm looking forward to join the TMW now

Well i think the third person, as well as the possibility to zoom in arma as well as in dayz, is neccessary, because sometimes the control of your char is to odd to get things done propaply, espiacally inside buildings. but to the OP i'd rather say, that you should make long range shots harder by adding a bit more scope sway, so that snipers have to be proned for +400 shots, which would force them to get out from behind the obstacle and force them to offer both players a good line of sight.

I actually think, that the as50 and m107 shut be keeped, they can reduce the spawn chance of it, or use another mechanic to get rid of weapons, because the system spawns new weps in, while it's very unlikely for them to disappear as evrybody takes them and keeps them, so there have to be either a spawn rate, dependant of the amount of weapons of that kind currently on the servers/in the hive, so it gets stabilized at a fixed amount of weapons per player. Or a system destroying weapons, like a lifespan until it get's destroyed, so you better get yourself a new one. Those should work for all non civillain/residental weapons and in my eyes also for tools like the nvg, rangefinders and gps, so the high value gear stays high value due to it's rareness. It would also keeps the bandits from the coast, as they have to constantly loot stary, nwa or crash sites, when they want to keep a good gear.

Well from the frankie gunshop event (although frankie wasn't there) I' took those stats with me: well here's the video, of what happened there so far, i hope you see, that i did not try to kill anyone, but help people out with blood and morphine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6koMAiQV9U&feature=plcp

As i thinking of becoming a medic right now, my spawn routin will change into: 1.run to the next town 2.find tools and backpacks 3.go to the hospital and gather medical supplies 4.gtfo and try to find some good gear, while waiting for patients. PS: as iam not whitelisted and i don't wan't to join the tmw(trusted medics of the wasteland), so i will whitelist myself :D

yeah i write you a pm

Well, for getting whitelisted by them i have to have references, which i can collect with this post ;) and if i establishe dmyself, having some logistics, i'll ask them to whitelist me

I'm of course trying not to kill people, but i'll feel free to shoot them unconscious and then bandage and blood bagging them. in order to take my stuff back, this can only work if we trust each other! Alright that's pretty cool, as i'm not having a vehicle yet, thanks for the offer!

So this is a list of links to forum topics i started, basically suggestions, which don't have place in my signature: player codex: http://dayzmod.com/f...0-player-codex/ radio: http://dayzmod.com/f...-amateur-radio/
