Why kill the guy with the torch dude?

i hate these threads similar ones pop up since the alpha began, it starts with "The bandit-indicator is moving the gameplay away from the realism-aspect of the game or "Having bandit skins isn't being realistic" Yep you are right. However it is a game, fun and other things must be considered, otherwise: - Respawning in kamenka is not realistic - Fixing broken bones with morphine sure isn't realistic - Morphing into a guille suit or camo suit like somesort of superman quick change, isn't realistic. - Respawning after death, is nowhere near realistic. - Fixing cars like in game, isn't realistic And much more one could argue. It's a game. What's realistic is infact nothing, it's just the idea of it. You could tell if someone looked dodgy in realife by the way the act and because we can't see this in game, a visual indicator is needed. Since the skins were removed orginally the game lost all co-op because the co-op players just shoot on sight now because they got sick of being killed anyway. You can call them carebears or whatever, but with a visual indicator - people will know who to shoot and who not too, which in my opinion is better for the entire gameplay community-wide. Bandits will be pushed to being confined in places, otherwise bigger groups of survivors will kill them, just like when the mod started.

got a download so i can try?

been using it on dayz lingor map - it has night vision toggle mode :D

looks like rocket took advice from my sig. I am glad he now recognises that user created content is something he is supporting, like he said going forward private hives and user craeted content are something he now seriously needs to consider. Yep, it will keep people buying arma, keep player base up, he knows this, he's a modder.

u can change atoc to a level acceptable for performance. ATI cards sometimes have issues with atoc settings (bohemia keep messing with it)

just goto factory between dolian and polana man, you'll get those parts and much more in less than 30min.

Of course you can detect the hackers with various scripts, infact rocket had a code scanning certain things at one point, but it is massive problem for performance. If you are not willing to learn about arma scripts and why arma suffers so bad at whats happening, please stop making suggestions that have been suggested 2-3 years ago already. In relation to the thread though, what you orginally asked will not work. sorry.

It just depends on how well they have scripted, most scripters are copy n paste noobs and get banned anyway, but the real scripters who are usually modders of arma or use somesort of mod app, will sit in your server and make sure innocent people are the ones to get blamed. Most mod-apps these days are invisible to logs, battleeye and any script detections, so either way, you're all fucked. You simply are not going to catch hacker killed player A,B,C,D etc etc.. in a log... after they just teleported you all to the sky.# melted idea is great! but it's not going to work. Please have a read up on arma 2 modding and you'll see why, to many scripts can be used to do practically anything you want.

Maybe you should read my post again. When certain scripts are run to kill you it's not registered as "hacker killed player" -- if it was that easy, things would be very different. Infact the hackers/scripters can run the scripts under other peoples names aswell, so innocent people could be caught up in it. Arma 2 engine is quite dumb overall and it is easily fooled if you know anything at all about the game itself and not just "dayz", you'd walk circles around it, until the engine is fixed, something new in scripts will be used to get around the hotfixes...it's not hard at all.

they should be used for your chest, so you can have a backpack + this pouch on the front.

what power is that?

The scripts don't even register under their names, so bringing kill texts back is no good for anything at all. You should read up on arma scripts and the mod scene and see exactly why it's hard to track scripters down.

I think 150ms is more than generous. Having a smaller ping is obviously better for all concerned.

gamespy is currently doing updates and maintenance, sixlauncher have a notice on their website aswell about it. Seems it's showing certain servers at certain intervals, also read the bohemia website there is a discussion over there in their forums too. They will fix it, it's not user related more technical at gamespy end.

They'll probably respawn at last known ground location or infact on the floor where the chopper crashed.

It will boot up in default difficulty until someone joins and loads the mission and settings. After you have set the options, load into the game and spawn,.. once spawned leave and check on your browser what your difficulty is then. if it still is playing up - delete the profile and just start the server normally, let the server create a new profile.

Guys you don't need six launcher, just use in game - you get so many issues with launchers, why bother.

try copying the the Arma 2 "Addons" and "Dta" directories into the OA folder

Nothing much happens without a firewall, no hackers are going to pounce on you. But honestly, maybe the multiplayer is having issues for some people, it sure sounds like it. go here: http://arma2.swec.se/server/list then copy the name of a server and paste it into the "filter" section of the arma oa browser - if u see it then it's probably nothing to worry about and the problem is not your end. Also if you want to see dayz servers you need to be running @dayz at the end of your shortcut.

Are you both selecting it via the filter option? You could also try doing this adding the server ip/host to the end of your .exe file shorcut -connect=SERVERIPHERE:PORT

well a router firewall could sure do what is happening at the moment. However... there are so many connectivity issues in dayz right now and if you can see normal servers i wouldn't say it was anything your end, it sounds more like a server related issue passing the data to you, keep trying.

That barb wire glitch is annoying, barb wire needs to go.

Umm, have you recently changed a router or firewall setting? You could still access some websites but it might be blocking ports for gaming, it's hard to say. Do you have issues with any other games?

There is quite a few posts on the bohemia website in the multiplayer section people having the same issues. Maybe battle-eye is playing up sometimes it needs to update and restart your end, and you might be getting stuck with it. I think you will have to just put up with it i am afraid, until it's fixed properly, it's an intermittent issue.
