    G36SD camo

    I could try to give you a ride north. But the only car I have is a bus and there is 12 other people on my home server so the chances of getting in a firefight are slightly moderate not even bringing the fact you're in Electro into the equation.

    win/fail moments from Dayz.

    Win: Was running towards Chern from Electro when I get word from a friend that there's a hacker on the server teleporting behind people and killing them. So I ran to the top of the hill west of Electro the one with the atv spawn and stood right in the middle of the steep incline on that mountain so that if I moved a single inch in any direction I would slide down the mountain and break my legs. Lo and behold thirty seconds later I hear a noise behind me and then turn around to see one dumbass hacker sliding down the mountain and break his legs at the bottom. I didn't get the chance to shoot him to death as I was laughing so hard while he was swearing at me like there was no tomorrow, he then nuked the server two minutes later after bleeding out. Fail: I found a bike once. Was enjoying myself gathering all the zombies I could and had a massive train of about 75 following me at one point. Then I saw that a prone zombie had spawned so I did what I thought was logical at the time and tried to splatter him with my pedal bike. Only when I hit him it did not kill him, I bunny hopped several feet into the air, fractured my legs and my bike fell over :emptycan:.

    What the heck?

    No script restriction #20 and #40 are script restrictions that happen rarely and aren't related to hacking as far as I know. I have been kicked for #40 and #20 multiple times, I have no idea what causes that.
  10. You can turn off everything by hitting esc-game options-DayZ UI-None. This will get rid of all the icons but you won't know when you're hungry, cold or thirsty.

    DayZ CampTracker

    This. Works very well and it can be organized quickly. Also great for the lingor map since for some reason is doesn't have the vehicle spawn areas so whenever I find one I make a custom marker.

    Hero bandits and humanity

    When you have a hero skin your humanity is bugged and regenerates so if they run around long enough as a hero they can get 20k+ humanity without doing jack shit to help others.
  13. A Bad Demoman: About my fourth week of playing DayZ I found someone's tent up near black lake hidden inside a hill with two satchel charges in it. I promptly took these and I went on my way raiding the north eastern airfield. After finding nothing of interest I thought to myself well since I have these satchel charges maybe I should learn how to use them. So I set one down having only the knowledge that they can be set for 30 seconds and for remote detonation. I scrolled through the options and saw deactivate the bomb, set bomb detonation 30 secs and touch-off bomb(s)(1). Thinking "Oh hey that touch-off option must be to set it for remote detonation," I clicked it and the next thing I know I'm flying one hundred feet into the air in my death pose :facepalm:. Well there's nothing like first hand experience with explosives . Bike Fail: After dieing to some server hoppers while alt+tabbed out watching a video my friends sent me over mumble I respawned near Electro and made my way to the light house by Cap Golova and found myself a bike. This was the first time I had ever found one as my usual server is a clan server and all the vehicles are probably hoarded off the map being used as tents, thanks disciples of anarchy. Taking it for a spin through Cherno and then back through to Electro attracting a huge train of zombies I notice a crawling one had spawned. I aimed by new bike right for his head and sped up to 45km/h expecting to roll this zombie and as soon as my tire hits his body I bunny hop ten feet into the air, fall back down, fracture my legs and knock over the bike. Meanwhile my zombie train was gaining on me fast so I emptied my entire MP5 clip into the zombie's head for ruining my ride and ran off behind some trees to lose the aggro then rage quit :emptycan: . Suicidal Hero: After finding my first DMR with my hero skin I thought it would be a great idea to counter sniper the spawn killing d-bags in Cherno and Electro. I logged into a medium pop server and carefully made my way into Cherno managed to not get capped climbing the hospital ladder and sat up there scanning for bandits. After about two minutes I spotted one going towards the industrial area with his SVD Camo clearly going to try and kill fresh spawns. I took aim with my DMR held my breath and took my first shot aiming right for center of mass. Unfortunately I had forgotten how to correctly use the mil-dots and my shot went low and hit his legs, breaking them. The shot didn't knock him out and he managed to see me and took a wild shot at me missing by a few feet so I hit Z to go prone and my character suddenly had a brilliant idea. "Hey I should get a running start on this dive it will be great," and in those 2 seconds of running before my guy actually went prone I made it to the edge of the roof and then went prone diving off the edge and dieing when I hit the ground :rolleyes:. The bandit ran off and lived because after I respawned there weren't any death messages besides mine.
  14. It means you downloaded some fake hack or fake launcher and they stole your cd key.

    Traded an M136 launcher and a rocket for an MK48 plus a few mags. This guy followed up on the trade after finding a replacement mk48 when the original one vanished during the trade.
  16. We all know the stupid spawning at the coast and dieing upon spawning bugs are shit. There are a few ways to avoid these bugs. First of all the rumor that this is a way to stop server hopping is just that a rumor. This is also not caused by joining servers with different Arma2 versions then you currently have. From Griff And the problems with spawn-saves being corrupted, anything on that? this is due to hive being massively overloaded and people logging in and logging out large amounts extremely quickly that wont be an issue in the new hive system for the stand-alone will it? nope Thanks Griff for the updates and for helping to calm the masses of those without patience. So it looks like this issue will persist until the standalone or if they make a new Hive for the alpha mod(One can hope :D). Now on to avoiding these things. As said before this is due to the system being overloaded and can happen at anytime your most valuable tools for not suffering from these bugs is quick reflexes and a cool head. First, spawning on the coast. Caused by quitting during the loading screen for any reason as during this you are in the debug and on next login you are kicked out of the debug and onto the very nice coast line of Chernarus. If you get stuck on loading you need to alt-tab out and then launch another game of dayz without closing the stuck on loading game. Once you are actually connected to a server you can then close the frozen game of dayz. Second, dieing upon logging in. This might be caused by three things. Hive issues, hackers or you're a douche bag that got sniped while spawning in on the Cherno hotel :P . To solve the Hive issue death you have to alt+tab and close the Arma2 window before your five seconds to respawn are up this is where quick reflexes come in. I always have my fingers on alt and tab whenever I'm connecting to a server just for this reason. Then after closing the window try to connect to a different server and hope it doesn't happen again, it has happened to me twice in a row once but doing this still worked and the third time I connected to a server I was in the right location with all my gear. I believe this method works because its technically not a death in that your character is still "alive" with your skin, health, food bar, water bar, location, etc intact he just suddenly crapped out because the Hive is over loaded. Upon the five seconds running out you usually spawn in the debug with nothing and at this point your character is saved with a debug location and with nothing in your inventory and when you log back in it kicks you to the coast with no inventory but your skin, stats and various bodily needs still in the state before it screwed up. This will not save you if you die an actual death as it is instantly saved and followed by having to pick your gender upon respawn which in the case of the spawn bug you don't get the gender screen. For me this method has saved my ass from coastal spawning with no gear seven out of seven times including once about 10 minutes ago so it looks to be a pretty solid way to avoid this bug. Hope this helps :thumbsup: . TL;DR the last tag on this topic is for you ;) .
  17. I believe I might have found a solution to the tents not saving problem. I have been testing out a number of things with tents trying to get them to save correctly and hold their contents through server restarts. Out of the five or so methods I've tested one seems to work well. 1.Set-up tent 2.Put the gear you want into the tent. 3.Wait 2-5 minutes(I prefer to wait 3-5 just to be safe). 4.Save the tent ONCE. I have tested this method three or four times and it has worked three times. I don't know for sure if I did this the fourth time as I forgot to update my notes on a few tents about the methods I used when saving them :rolleyes: so for now I'm calling it a 75% success rate. I am still waiting on one of my usual servers to restart as it contains another couple of tents that I have used this method on. DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP, just because this has worked so far for me doesn't mean it will work for everyone. If any others could try this and report back with their results that would be great.

    Possible tent fix need help testing

    Not entirely true I have three tents set up on uneven ground and right next to trees and they seem to save very well, however I've had several tents just not save anything and just be there forever on even and flat ground.

    Possible tent fix need help testing

    When you first place a tent you get ONE save state period. The only way to get another chance is to pack up the original tent then reset it up the way described and then put the new items in it that you have acquired or of course you can get another tent to put more items in.

    Possible tent fix need help testing

    Have no idea what will make vehicles work. As I haven't found any(I play on a clan server big surprise), although I have seen a post on another sites bug listing for DayZ. In that post there were admins talking about a server side code that could potentially save vehicle's locations and inventories properly. Upon testing this code it half worked. The Ural they used stayed at its spot but lost its gear. Next restart the Ural was in its saved spot but a bus had spawned on top if it with the original inventory of the Ural. I think we're going to have to wait till rocket gets these things working.
  21. Update*** 75% success rate. Used this method again on my home server which restarted 10 minutes later. Saved my newly obtained M249.
  22. Update** so far I've had a 66% success rate the first two saved correctly the third didn't although I can't tell if I used this method on that exact tent because I was testing multiple things and should have kept better notes on what tents had which variables :rolleyes: . I can't see if the other tents have worked as the server they are on has yet to restart.

    Underrated Weapons

    The CZ is pretty awesome. I have out-sniped 4 players so far that were using the AS50. I expect to see more snipers using this in the standalone when duping and scripting in weapons are both fixed.

    If you are still looking to for an M136 launcher with a rocket I'll trade mine for an MK 48.
