Hey guys, Didn't see a thread about it, anyways, I'll raise this again. Why melee weapons in DayZ aren't put in secondary slot? I bet they would be really popular for clearing zombies, and I can't understand how this would break the game and I also bet this would take like a single line of code to be implemented. So why this isn't done?

So its impossible to reskin pistol, so it can be secondary weapon? Or change weaponclass or some other parameter, I don't know the arma 2 engine scripting, to secondary? I don't see a problem there.

So a short story, my last 10 connections to server were: 1)debug plains 2)debug plains 3)debug plains 4)run out of debug plains 5)connection lost 6)Something went wrong! disconnect 7)connection lost 8)Something went wrong! disconnect 9)shore 10)debug plains So my question is, am I doomed or something, or is there some way to avoid all this random teleporting around every time i log into server?

Hey guise, We have this wierd issue in DayZ Namalsk map with yellow ural. We just hit a wall, engine, front wheel and fueltank is red, but when we get out and try to find it in repairable part list, there are only 2 yellow tires, other options dont show up. We have spare parts. Any ideas what to do?

in case someone googles "Green URAL parts don't show up for repairs", the issue is unsolvable. We found ourselves new Blue URAL and it had no problems, so Namalsk just has green one bugged at current version.

i think thats very good, that realistic zombie pull range. Now, when theres a poor new guy running around in cherno or elektro, dude with as50 will weight down pros and cons of shooting that poor harmless bambi and pulling all zombies on himself.

yes i have a toolbox, cos, as i said, two of the tires show up, just other parts dont.

we left it now, searching for replacement parts, vehicle. Can anyone give us more possible solutions? Engine and fueltank is broken too, and they dont show up.

Sup guise, A wierd and likely dumb question poped in my brain just now. There were few encounters with players that im a bit troubled about. I'm more of a cautious lone wolf - got rules on engagement, dont KoS unless 100% sure that the person is a threat. Problem is there were two times in my early days when me and some player were in close proximity, he and i were aware of each other presence, but i killed them because they didn't interact with me over direct chat, nor voice neither writen messages. Is it possible that they were SCREAMING: "FRIENDLY FRIENDLY OHH MY GOD DONT SHOOT ME, ILL GIVE YOU HELICOPTER, RANGEFINDERS, AS50 TWS ETC. JUST LET ME LIVE!!!!", but i didn't hear them because i was not in direct communication channel?

Sure this was mentioned before but how hard it would be to make doors a blockage for zombies, which they can take down in (some number) hits and players could repair them with toolkit and wood pile? Or make them unbreakable barrier for zombies? Would any of these brake the game and , again, could arma 2 engine support something like this?

Well yeah, those are solutions but cmon, making doors like in l4d2, just with addition of ability to repair, maybe barricade them more, like nailing additional planks from wood pile with a toolkit, would be great and realistic. Maybe even add this to the pvp gameplay (barricaded doors would need a shotgun or couple of 5.56 rounds or mag of 9mm to break 'em). Would this be really hard to make? I could take a negative answer for arma 2 engine, but i have done some of game development, and i don't really believe in impossibilities. It's more of a question would players like this, wouldnt this break the game and arent devs too lazy, I'm sorry, busy to make this.

So basically yesterday my dayz character started to reset every time i join new server. I get long error, something with words bin, .cfg and various item names (gps, m9mag, etc.) after game loads, i click ok and i join the server, straight into character creation screen. It was all ok, didnt patch anything, my pc runs game at 40-60 fps, mid-max settings. Any ideas?

u sure about that. i mean those servers are marked as non private, and dont have word private in their titles. this is bullshit ;/

just thought about this and you pretty much nailed it. One addition though, bunkers could be built anywhere outside town. Basically starting a first tier bunker would spawn it underground with visible doors. Selecting with middle mouse button would make opening door and climbing down animation. Inside there would be room/several rooms (depenting on tier), with tables, chairs or other objects (depenting on tier). First tier doors dont cover up. Other tiers could have possibilities that there is no visible door, you have to know where it is, middle mouse "enter bunker" option only appears if you point your mouse at correct spot, where doors would be. I dont think its a problem performance wise, its just another small building underground. Ofcouse there are some clipping issues that should be worked out, so first tier bunker shoudnt be hard to make in the beginning of implementation, in case it spawns badly (visible on the ground, doesnt spawn at all), so you could easily make new one when last one is destroyed.

i think this arrest was absurd from the beginning. Its god damn EU, almost like one single country, and Greece acted like China or some random crazy ass country.

This should have been mentioned before, but i just want to adress this issue again, since i don't see this being on HOT list. When i played in non-hive servers, i think this feature really helped to socialize and find friends when you are alone. Maybe a better implementation, like ability to mute players or having several side channels or having an ability to create chat channels in server, would be nice, and haters couldn't say it's not realistic, cos it's just like carrying an expensive walkie-talkie with yourself. But i agree that it partially breaks the atmosphere of the game. Also, i understand this might be a limitation of arma 2 engine, so such ideas are impossible to work out. Any thoughts guys?

Just wanted to ask how do you manage to play again after playing for few days, gathering pretty nice gear, and dying, maybe to serious nice pvp action, getting shot in a back or from just a annoying bug or accident, and start over again and again and again? Not a whine topic, i'm just interested don't you get fed up, angry, feel like you are wasting time or something?

be VERY careful when dropping items on the ground and switching weapons in your backpack and basicaly any type of moving items around, except most common single slot items from backpack to inventory and other way around. Read more at DayZ wiki Known bugs and watch this video

im sort of new player, maybe this belongs in newb discussion section, but i don't want any "kill-em-all" answers. I figured out already (lol) that its impossible to not kill other people in this game, and it's not about surviving zombies, Dayz is more about not getting killed by other wacos. So, since we are survivors, what rules do u use, what steps u take or what boxes do you check, before taking someone out in clear conscience?

probably true. All i can say it's kinda sad. When it's up to people, they will make CoD, not L4D, out of sandbox-zombie game.

about shouting friendly. i noticed that not alot people, especially in non-english servers, do that, but not necessarily they are hostile. But i guess most fool-proof checks would be: IF armed (hatchet included) AND saw you AND/OR didnt shout friendly -> kill it.

I'm currently in a server that declares itself as friendly (admin messages: friendly server, no killing and such) and was just wandering if those servers kind of enforce friendliness (autokill for player damage, no pvp damage or smth), or they are just normal servers?

anyone got the patch 1.7.2.4 and could upload it somewhere to download, or maybe you know download link for this patch? im having some trouble to launch 1.7.2.5 on my other pc, so i want to figure out if its my issue or if its my laptop. ty in advance
