The DayZ mod? Yes, but team up with other people and use voice comms. But expect to start duping items and get killed by scripters over and over again.

A tent will upon placement appear in front of the player with the length of the tent going outwards from the player (a wall of sandbags will appear across the player). When placed, the closest wire on one end of the tent will meet the ground just behind the front heel of a player.

On Saturday, it looked as if someone took control over my character, as I watched "myself" suddenly crawing forwards and then opening fire on a teammate a little to the right 3m away. My fingers was not even near the left mouse button. I am confident that some other player had taken control over my character for 10 sec or so.

A green, cylindrical shape, with a handle on it iirc.

Someone sent me a direct message in dayz and I have never seen such a message before. The message was displayed in a thin gray bar, dark, with rounded edges. I can't help but wonder what this is. The message was simply "hello".

I was just kicked off a game with the message script restriction #106, but what does this particular error mean? Also, is there perhaps a comprehensive list anywhere of all the script restriction errors that also explain why they are caused?

Thanks!

Died while watching dayz as a slide show, as the game had begun to lag. I was in the process of exacting revenge on two players that killed me outside Elektro, having picked up an Enfield with four shots left that they had left on my former dead body; however as the two players came my way around the corner of a house with me being in a flanking position, the game started to lag the moment I was about to fire on them. They saw me and I was dead once more.

This is so annoying! The sandbags are hovering above ground making the placement of sandbags pretty much useless, since the enemy can shoot under beneath the placed sandbags. Why are the sandbags hovering? Bad polymesh data for the ground? Grass? Terrain curvature? FFS Not a single row of sandbags stays down onto the ground.

pushing up daisies? :)

Interesting question, I hope someone knows an answer to this.

I get the occasional 2-3-4 second long stuttering when playing and I don't know why this happens. I will have to try going back to default settings and see if it helps, but I wanted to make this thread in case someone else had this issue as well and have learned what might have caused it. Up until now, I have not bothered with this issue, as it never really impacted gameplay, except for yesterday when I was about to get my revenge armed with an enfield with 4 shots left. Just as I was about to gun down two players that had shot me previously, my game turned into a slide show and I died. >.< Presumably my issue could be related to various factors: config files, I tweaked them according to various articles possibly Catalyst drivers for my radeon 7950 card (same stuttering with my older 5850 card as well, with an older driver) maybe something to do with Windows 7 and my harddrives (game is installed on an SSD, with DayZ files residing on a ramdisk) Edit: My 74 GB'ish SSD drive only has 1,3 GB free space left, perhaps that might have something to do with all of this as well.

I can confess to duping items. Firstly, items are duped regardless everyday, because items spawn anew if the tent was saved prior to a server restart. Secondly, dying to scripters by killings, mass killings or teleportation is no fun and having surplus items reduce the annoyances when having to gear up (again). Also, there are other ways for duping items that are too tempting to not use when needed.

I noticed something strange today. I was driving a motorcycle with a passenger and jumped off the motorcycle to perchance fix a damaged wheel. I jumped off, got back on and then the lag started (fps stuttering), for a really long time, 10+ seconds, for a period of time that has never happened before. When the lag ended, the motorcycle was fixed. Perhaps there is some piece of code running on the server that makes the game lag?

There are two bridges in Chernarus that are truly aweful for driving across with an ATV. 1) Bridge east of Cherno at 069-122 2) Bridge north of Solnichniy at 134-089 Driving across these bridges at low speed with an ATV seem hopelessly difficult if not impossible. Perhaps the awkwardness of it all is more of a random incident, I never noticed this issue until I drove an ATV along the coast of the Chernorus map. I hope the devs will refrain from having bridges become its own road object with the standalone game. It would be so easy to simply lay down the road first, and then slap the model of the bridge along it, presumably making the road as smooth as it can be, being a separate object from the bridge model itself. Not sure how they have set things up now, but I am guessing the bridge is some odd object that are joining the two ends of the road.

Very well, I uninstalled Battlefield 3, and now have 17 GB free space (25% approx) I sort of knew it was bad to have so little storage space left. Hm perhaps it could also be server related, never thought of that. I want to add that the fraps counter on screen is obviously lowered when I experience this 2-3-4 second stuttering, but I guess the indication of a lowered FPS is to be expected.

Hehe, I use a SSD, have 8GB ram, no defrag neccessary on an SSD and I don't think I have that much pron on my machine. Quad core cpu, running at 4GHz with multithreading enabled.

I believe "wilderness" is also a place between Elektro and Cherno and past Skalisty Island.

I will be happy if anyone can actually prove this to be true.

I logged onto an empty server (my regular) to check on some stuff, and then I died (was killed). I ended up in what I think is called the debug plane, with broken bones. I relogged and appeard in the "wilderness" off Kamenka. How did I die? Was it perhaps because I had been logged off too close to a tree?

Skype works ok for voip, if you can accept the occasional coughing, sneezing, background chatter, but I like how everyone is live without a push to talk button. :) Reading recruitement posts on forums is a fast way to get to know people. Probably a better idea to stick with people of same nationality to talk more fluently and generally keeping a lower ping, instead of simply talking english with strangers from other countries..

Our rented dayz server was listed as any other normal dayz server just the other day, however today it is listed as private or "unofficial" and I cant but help wondering why. This unofficial status also happened a week ago, incidentally when I tried to get the latest version of dayz commander to work with Lingor island, however after undoing what I did with pathing the server returned to normal maybe an hour later. The "unofficial" status is explained as "not being connected to the hive".

After restarting the server remotely, DayZ commander now list our server as any other DayZ server and things seem to be ok. Unfortunately, the server might have been idle for almost 12 hours since the daily restart early in the morning :o

I just noticed that the server seemed to be idle, with 0 players and 0% cpu. Perhaps related to the listing as private "unofficial" in DayZ commander I wonder. We have now restarted our server remotely and will see if things change.

Why would you think that? Of course not.
