RSF TheCapulet

Ah, my search-fu failed me today. Probably because I'm lazy and didn't look more than a few seconds. Lol. Anyways, posting my ideas on that thread. Mods, feel free to delete this one.

I didn't mean to make the discussion at all about melee weapons, so disregard that. Here's the full map for Chernarus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ArmA2_Chernarus_factbook_map.jpg So the Krasnostav airport is deff the closest to Russia. At the very least, I deff think the Berazino port should play a role in it's gear spawn. Specially with construction material. Perhaps make the airfield full on Nato, with US forces and Nato forces (which would have the G36). And this isn't the Czech Republic. It's Chernarus. And Russia is right on it's border.

You made something in reaction to my suggestion, but it's still unusable. :P I tried adding a beta startup param to a shortcut. Didn't work. And I tried finding the config file. But even searching my entire PC didn't turn one up. Perhaps instead, just make a UI chceckbox or selector box, revealed by an options button. And for some reason, six updater seems to be eating my beta patch every time I open it. Grr. Could we get an option in it, so that if it sees a beta patch ahead of what it's pushing, it'll leave it alone? Or better yet, make that a default.

I recorded some sounds last night. Only thing I'm sad about is that I didn't get to get 1911 sounds done before we ran out of ammo. Hadn't realized I was that low on .45, and all of our 1911 shots ended up clipping. Up close, according to the mic, it's actually the loudest gun I have right now. Unbelievable considering the guns it sits next to in the gun cabinet. I used 5 mics per gun, so it'll take me a bit to get it mixed properly and cleaned up. Then I'll post samples.

I could do a far better shotgun sound any time and release it to dayz open source. *shrug* Shotguns should be booming monsters, specially up close. I'd love to capture that and get it into dayz. On short hand, I can also do M16 sounds and a .40 pistol generic soundset as well. I'd love to see a .40 in the mod. ;)

Once again, it seems like you're not getting the point. Dizzymagoo emptied his mag, which had 3 rounds in it, and reloaded. The new mag was full, yes. And then he swapped his mags with some unknown mags on some random dude. And then tried said tactical reload. And then is surprised to find random shit. I don't know about you, but I almost constantly have half assed pistol mag management, and sometimes will even reload every 2-3 shots. Hell, for all I know, Dizzymagoo could have been any one of the number of people who have betrayed me to find shit gear, and ended up with my nearly empty mags. The point is, just because you pick up a new mag, or have a mag in your inventory, it doesn't mean that it's full.

No, what they're saying is that they have plenty of mags in their inventory, but they only have 2 bullets every time they releoad. But in both situations, both posters mention obvious ways on how they dropped their full mags and picked up more empties or just had tons of empties anyways. Like I said, it's not a bug. Just a lack of a good source of information.

Wow guys, it's not just shoving random mags into your gun. It will always shove the mag with the most amount of rounds into the gun. Always. That's not a bug.

This kind of thing needs to be included in the front page. Perhaps even mailed out in newsletters.

They aren't idiots' date=' they are correct. It's not a bug.[/quote'] Yesterday I had 6 mak mags. I dropped 3 in one loot pile and picked 3 more up off a survivor I killed. I pressed reload and still had 3 bullets in my mag. Once I shot them all off at a zed, the next mag I loaded was full. Did the samething later on one of my stanag mags. So more than likely you dropped three full mags into a pile, and picked up three more possibly not full mags from some random dude. That doesn't mean it's bugged. It just means it's lacking features, such as a new gear UI that tells us more detailed information about objects. Also, this remind me. Rocket, can we have a way to repack mags, and perhaps shift interchangeable ammo between mags? https://dev-heaven.net/issues/31929

I think it's important to remember here DayZ team that, as server admins and players, we're here to play a game. We understand that it's an alpha, an experiment, etc. And we're more than happy to help in that regard. But you can't forget the fact that it is infact a game and that people who do things that exploit the game are taking away the playability. And without that playability, we're left with an experiment. I can even understand saying that it's an alpha and an experiment first above all else. But one of the required factors in the experiment is players playing the game, not dodging exploiters. So it's going to be important to incubate that factor in the experiment to make sure that it survives.

I get distracted easily, as you can tell. :P Rest assured, I do have some map updates coming.

What you're really saying is that you haven't broken down and bought a tablet yet. :P It doesn't get better than panning and zooming your map beside your monitor while you play. ;)

Heh, it's a bit more complicated than that. I mean that apple doesn't provide an emulator (afaik) for their device to test your code on incrementally. So I'd have to physically do it on an iPod, etc; Unless you can code. In that case, I'll offer you all the help I can in porting when I have something to give you.

^Repped Everything mojo just said is something that seriously needs considered. I think mojo here proves that the DayZ team and it's server operators eventually (or already have) will come to a head. The development team and the server admin group are both valuable parts of what make the DayZ community operate. When one starts pissing the other off to the point that they separate ways (such as mojo here), something needs to immediately be done to solve the problem. And yes, I understand there are hundreds of other server owners looking forward to the chance to host a DayZ server. But both Chitown 1 and 20 are both well founded and respected servers with high speed and quality administration. Pissing off server owners who are constantly arguing the rules with the dev team, don't know what they're doing, or are running shitty hardware/connections is one thing. But pissing off the kind of people who help drive the community is something that will lead the community as a whole to disaster.

Thanks! Once a have a few more defined goals' date=' I'll send you a PM with some possible things to do. And mentioning using this outside of DayZ is ironic, because I was literally just thinking about making a selectable overlay for the maps to theme it for DayZ and vanilla Arma 2. As for developing it for iPod, I don't own any apple devices, and so I can't get the development tools needed. Apple requires it's devs to have an iPhone/iPad/iPod touch to develop for their mobile OS. Once I'm done, if someone wants to port it over to Apple stuff, I'll gladly lend the code. Mistake. It's supposed to say "bistro", but I plan on changing it to "Resturant/Pub" to be more descriptive (since after reading the signs on the buildings IG, I realized what the buildings actually were. :P).

Working on a few more cities. But also, looking at putting these into an android app as well. So that's eating some time.

This thread needs stickied in this forum and the beginners forum. Also, sb, could we just get a simple options menu that lets us select between running beta, not running, and automatically deciding based on server? Seems like the most intuitive way.

Is it just me, or is the respawn timer on zombies set way way too fast? A solo guy doesn't even have enough time to clear a building before zombies crawl back out of the ground outside. This makes solo travel through any area worth traveling to or through impossible. And with every man with a gun shooting anything that moves for the pure sadistic pleasure of it all, teamwork is far too rare to count on. So now I sit dead at green mountain because zombies didn't just spawn twice, but three times while I was checking the place over. Wtf? Can we please get the zombie respawn time down to something reasonable?

Agreed. Even a 5 min spawn would give me time to GTFO, most of the time, but I don't feel like I can get than more than 1 time out of 10. When I clear a building, I usually have to kill a wave of zombies upon entering, while looting, and then again when leaving. That's like 12=15 people in a house. What kind of family lives 15 to a house???

Was just coming to report this when I find it here already. Repro is exactly as OP says. I do notice that it doesn't let me place it nearly as easily as the new fireplace though. So perhaps even delete the old fireplace entirely?

PDW's seem to show up fairly often actually. Specially if you loot the medical base just south of the airbase we're talking about. And the brilliant thing about the PDW is that it takes basically any 9mm magazine, including MP5 mags. So there's plenty of ammo if you need to move the selector switch to auto and let it rain in an emergency. That will make any noob need new drawers after thinking of taking pot shots at you with his .38
