Killed by AS50 at night on empty server?
The_Albatros replied to Brookhouse's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Because I totally don't have one. -
Faith in humanity restored. (CA 12)
The_Albatros replied to Rako (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
>Hacker gives you a car and guns >faith in humanity restored Shit nigger, I've been given 20+ cars and 10+ Helicopters, doesn't restore any faith. People still shoot on sight because they want your shit. -
Servers where vehicles aren't hoarded?
The_Albatros replied to Inception.'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'll write a list: -
Putting on clothes resets the debug monitor -_- Try reconnecting.

Thermal sight needs to be removed
The_Albatros replied to SpeedyBanana's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You're an idiot. This is an alpha, completely full of bugs and exploits. The L85A2 LWS is rare as hell, and most people have never seen a legit one spawn. The problem is not the gun, it's the duplicating. Your thread should be named "Duping needs to be removed". -
So far, it's done nothing but fuck legit players over. I'm sitting at a what, 5 minute unconscious screen? And why? Because I decided to reconnect 15 minutes after a gunfight because no zombies or gear was spawning. I get in, unconscious. Timer gets halfway, hear a zombie agro and runs over and hits me. I ALT+F4'ed. What the fuck else am I supposed to do?

It's a dodgy as fuck 'shock' system that has done nothing but fuck me over. I know it does this to other players too, as there is always a thread up here saying something along the lines of "Everytime I log in I'm unconscious" or "Just respawned on the beach unconscious for 5 minutes"
-
Wasn't unconscious when I logged out. Was completely fine, 9000+ health, not in combat at all.
-
To be honest it was more around 7-8 minutes, 15 was an exaggeration. If shock is to combat ALT+F4's, wouldn't it be better to have it last 10-30 seconds? As I said, nothing was spawning for me. No zombies, no gear. I had to reconnect to fix it, and when I did, unconscious timer for 5 minutes and unable to play because Zombies wallhack me when the timer is halfway.

Those ratios are for a 1980*1020 screen. How to adjust your FoV (aka, how to cure ArmA2 tunnel vision!): I'm sure many of you have noticed that the default FoV in ArmA 2 is pretty damn narrow. You can sort of solve this by double tapping numpad "-", but that doesn't work with weapons with scopes, and in my opinion is TOO wide of an FoV, which results in weird fisheyeing and a lower framerate. Yesterday I finally overcame my laziness and decided to manually tweak my FoV, and was annoyed by how I couldn't find a comprehensive guide. So I pieced together what I could, and figured I'd share it with reddit. ArmA2 uses a "vertical FoV" system, like Bad Company 2, which puts an additional hurdle in the process of adjusting your FoV. In addition, it uses radians! So, here's what you do: 1) Go to My Documents/ArmA 2/ and open up USERNAME.ArmA2OAProfile in notepad. Scroll to the very bottom and you'll see two values, fovTop and fovLeft. 2) Calculate what vertical FoV corresponds to your desired horizontal FoV using this calculator. Make sure the "resolution" information is correct! 3) Take that number, go to Google, and search "X degrees in radians" to convert it. It should be a small number, between .5 and 1.5 in all likelihood. Round it off at the hundredths - I hear ArmA will chop off any digits after that anyway. 4) Enter that value as fovTop in notepad. 5) Using a calculator, divide that number by the second number in your aspect ratio - in my case, 16:10, so I divide it by 10. Then multiply it by the first number, in my case 16. Now enter that number for fovLeft, and round it the same way (leaving only 2 digits after the decimal point). Boom! Load up ArmA 2 and witness how much more you can see. I also encourage you to bind a thumb button to the Freelook command, as it also helps with situational awareness. I'm a stickler for Hardcore servers, but many of my friends couldn't bear the lack of third person until I walked them through this. Now they feel totally aware of their surroundings, and we don't have to worry about campers using 3rd person to look around/over cover. I hope I helped, and please let me know if I did anything wrong. I'm a Computer Science / Game Design student and even I am confused by ArmA's convoluted FoV system.

Can we dance if we want to?
The_Albatros replied to omgwtfbbq (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I've tried binding it to a hotkey, but it looks like you'll have to use a script. -
It's says a few sentences in Russian, and then repeats them in English below. Look harder. Did a mod really just move this thread to 'Off-Topic General'? -_- This thread is nothing buy DayZ. Guy's must really hate Lingor.

DayZ from Steam in a few brief and simple steps (No third party programs such as SixUpdater, all in all granting better experience)
The_Albatros replied to zDevon's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I manual installed my game because I'm not a noob. -
I saw a hilarious video on YouTube where two skilled players picked up a noob in their heli, then flew him to the island 11km off the SE coast and left him there. No respawn button. Hilarious.

What does script restriction #55 mean actually?
The_Albatros replied to pvtjelo's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I was driving to the NWAF in a car with my buddy, and because of the shitty engine, the game didn't render a crashed humvee until I was around 2ft away. I crash into it, instantly kicked for script restriction, buddy dies, I re-log perfectly fine. It also happened when the same buddy crawled into the hospital glitch and broke his bones. I crawled in after him to fix him and was instantly kicked. -
I'm not sure I even want to play at the moment. Legit players being banned, I personally know hackers who won't be banned, Battleye Support basically says "YOU BANNED BY MISTAKE? WE NEVER MAKE MISTAKE! HERE BOMB, FUCK YOU!". Theories are saying it could be linked to custom skins

Public Service Announcement: Game engines and you.
The_Albatros replied to MasterZ's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I'm pretty sure it's running on the ARMA 3 engine, although the game is being built from the ground up so it will differ just a small part. -
Crashed my tractor, Do I need to repair it?
The_Albatros replied to Nicpick91's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
You crashed your tractor. It exploded, killing you. Tractor is dead, forever. Learn to park next time, you're going to have to find another vehicle. Try Skalisty Island, sometimes a UH-1H is there. -
Lost everything in my tent!
The_Albatros replied to DannyFilming's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Vehicles are still good. As far as I know, only certain tents and vehicles can store items across a reset. Before you toss all your goodies in a tent next time, put a can of beans in it and save it. Wait for the server to reset and if the beans are still there when you reconnect, go ahead and toss all your stuff in it. -

The_Albatros replied to DannyFilming's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
It's an Alpha. Tents are already listed as bugged, with hundreds of people posting the exact same thing you have. Try searching before posting. -

Found an M14 AIM, how rare are they?
The_Albatros replied to shypatrick's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
Very common actually. All these people calling it rare have obvious never seen a heli crash site. M14 AIM, PP-19 Bizon, and FN FAL are always at crash sites, M249 is pretty common too.
