At the most, maybe 10GBs. I'd say around 4-6 if you want to be realistic. It's definitely going to be less than Arma 2's download space, considering the fact that they're cutting off one map, removing a lot of helicopters and vehicles, along with useless models, and maybe adding a few things here and there.

I think Zombies should have much smoother movement as they currently seem to jolt sideways in awkward positions. The Infected currently are altered soldier AI in which they behave like soldiers still and try to Zig Zag to avoid fire etc, Hopefully the new AI will be written solely to run at you mindlessly, like true brain dead Infected should No Hackers. In any game there will be hackers but we won't see the script kiddies like we do now, the original problem was Arma II being too trusting to allow users to inset scripts easily. Higher frame rate - For some reason Day Z can run UN-smooth even on very high-end systems. Optimization is something that's high priority especially seeing as most buildings will be enterable and have props, As you imagine adding more props Etc will reduce performance drastically so the Devs are trying to optimize as best as they can. Axe as a secondary ;) Can't really comment on the weapon system. All or most buildings become enter able (I hear they are doing this already ;) Yep More vehicles on regular Day Z servers. The problem with adding more vehicles, where is the line drawn between too many and too little? We don't want it easy for everyone to have a car but we don't want so many people left out, it's a hard one to judge and will take experimentation. Hope this cleared a few things up for you.

Hello there fellow DayZ mod'ers, For those of you who regularly played on US 2979 I'd like to announce that the technical difficulties on our server have now been solved...those technical difficulties being that there was a 'International Hotel' building every 100-200 metres...cities, forrest areas...even in the middle of lakes...ALL over the map from top to bottom, left to right...kinda made playing a little difficult. But thanks to facoptere for his fix for the problem the hacked in buildings have now been removed from the map. Other things that have been resolved include vehicles that were possibly hacked/teleported in to the ocean or to unaccessible areas have been returned to their spawn points and any spawned vehicles that should not be on the map have been removed. Tents haven't been touched, checked my tents and they were still where I put them with all the items I've stashed in them in tact. So, if you've been avoiding US2979 because of the hacked in buildings then feel free to come back cause they are gone!

HerrJon, they're two different things, of course, not to different ways to do same thing. :) Selmack, when next to a bike, roll your mouse wheel and a menu will appear. You might need to run round the vehicle (it works with all vehicles) to get all the menu options but they will include: Get in, Save, Gear, Refuel, Repair, and others. To get off you do the same, roll mousewheel and choose Get out. Eject is dangerous as you can die if you use it while travelling at speed. Remember, the map grids change size as you zoom in and out but those numbers work for me - for example: if I have 1100m to run, I know it will take very roughly ten minutes. :thumbsup:

I have been playing on this server for a few months now and it is the best private hive i've ever played on! There are alot of reasons why but i'll keep it with these 5: 1. Active server admins 2. Hardly any hackers (and if there are any they will be banned ASAP) 3. All the extra features for this server; a bit more vehicles; the option to attach your character to the website; add item tool; backup tool etc. 4. Server restarts every 3 hours -> no lag at all! 5. There is a forum on their website if you need help with anything, found a hacker, offtopic funs etc.!

less high end military kit, kit degradation, more melee weapons, noise attracting zombies, so snipers eventually attract hordes if they camp, ability to create safe zones, board up a house or barn. More improtantly zombies, thousands of them, unrelenting, brain hungry zombies, even in the wilderness just wandering looking for brains, towns like elktro filled with them, in rooms in buildings stuck in vehicles everywhere.

Had a lot of fun playing this map, I searched every city on the southern part of the map and found no vehicles though. I put on a ghillie suit and from then on my in-game progress wouldn't save properly. I logged out and back in about 45 minutes after putting it on because I noticed the leaderboard hadn't updated or counted any of my zombie kills and was sent back ~3 towns and lost any new gear I had picked up. Not sure if this was just a server lag issue or what though. You can also get into crashed helicopters for some reason... I was able to hop right in to a crashed heli outside of Celle and it instantly killed me. I ran back and recovered my gear and noticed that I could mouseover the crash and repair it...

ehm....balancing cod kiddie military loot hunter? If you want to play a military guy you should try out vanilla ArmA 2. It's much more fun ( more military vehicles and military grad weapons ) and has a lot more players to shoot at and no annoying Zeds.

mm, are you running the 1.whatever.2.6 version? because 2.5 was a pain for vehicles and tents. then if you save it correctly and put out/in something weekly, she should survive fine and i don't know how she could be gone away. i'm sorry for your loss! there isn't anything better than running naked from the north to the nwa, greedy light in your eyes, be ready to run a lot of kms more than normal..

Kamikaze a heli into a clan camp (with vehicles) preferably when they are online

The server admin will always know everyones location if he's running the correct server software, a map the admin can see shows the location of all players & vehicles including the contents of your back pack & weapons, he sees everything & may choose to relay that information to his team/clan mates or indeed locate you & execute you personally, i speak from experience ;) So it all depends on who is asking....

For the last one we called a ceasfire on the server for a few days, it gave people time to find and repair their vehicles. The next one looks like it's going to be a lot more popular so we may provide vehicles. We're discussing the rules now but we're thinking of having to swap vehicles half way. Lol, you need to brush up on ur trolling technique, that sucked. That's what makes it funny though. Everyone was carrying spares and still only 2 out of 8 vehicles finished.

Alright, so i just joined up with this group of guys through the DayZ mod forums. We were just enjoying our time and the north-west airfield. Well, after two complete bust at the barracks we started to head north to check for the ATV that spawns on the northern barrier of the airfield. Well, on our way we found a helicopter crash site that had a FN FAL and m14. I took the FAL and my buddy took the m14. Then suddenly, we spot two atv's, a bus and a tractor behind some trees. One ATV had a m14 cco sd but that was it in the loot. Oddly enough, none of the vehicles had fuel BUT they all were in working condition. I wasnt sure if they were scripted in or were just driven up there. Anyway, i found two jerry cans and so i filled up the bus with one and an atv with one since there was a fuel tank about one minute out. We arrive at the fuel tank. This guy joins. OUT OF NO WHERE techno music starts playing and me and my mates were like "what da fuq?" and then i saw this bunny running around and my friend points out that the music is originating from the bunny. I thought he was fucking nuts at first but then i realized it too. Then the "hacker" says "techno bunny :D" in side chat and we all just start cracking up. Then the bunny shits out a medical box with every single gun in ARMA II AO. Like every gun, including the guns not in the DayZ mod. M110 TWS, golden AK, etc. Then the music stops. Me and my friend are still cracking up. There were another two of us at cherno and they thought we were just making shit up. But then the bunny spawned on them. They were scared shitless so they shot at the bunny. It still pooped out a medical box though. And then the hacker left. This was the BESTEST MOST AWSUM hacker ever. Seriously, why cant all hackers be like this? Anyway, i ended up ramping the ATV off a 2 inch pile of debris (Who the fuck put all of these roadblocks in the cities?) and lost the ATV. I told my friend to come pick me up in the bus. He came back for me and i told him to hit the atv so we could roll it over. Well when he hit it just got fucking launched up in the air about 50 feet and when it landed it blew up. Later on that night after all four of us were in the bus another hacker teleported to us and one shotted 3 of us with a dmr INSIDE the bus. I managed to get out and hide in front of the bus where he had no view of me. next thing i know i get a DMR shot to the back of the head :( Anyway, thats my story of the craziest night ive ever had in DayZ. Your more that welcome to post your stories in here also. If you read the whole thing, thanks :)

We have switched US153 over to DayZ Lingor on our own private HIVE. We have two DayZ Lingor servers on this HIVE, each with custom-built, EPIC bases with bonus loot caches, weapons, vehicles, and custom spawn points. Come by and check it out! :) You'll need the DayZ Lingor v0.34 files. Here's a torrent of the modfiles: http://anzuswargames.info/mods/DayZ_Lingor_1725_034.torrent

I haven't tested the shift+right-click method, double-click has always worked for me. For remember where you put things, I just have a little notepad to and jot down coordinates of where I put my vehicles and stuff, and for fixed things like tents, I put the coords in the note section on DayZ commander, so I can easily find which servers that I play on have tents/vehicles and where they are on the map. For getting on vehicles, you have to be next to it and use the scroll wheel. There should be an option that says "get on (vehicle) as driver". You do need to be at a certain location around the vehicle for most to get this, so just circle around it while spinning your wheel. If all you get is "save (vehicle)" at all points around it, that probably means it's totaled, but that should be pretty easy to tell. Most servers hide vehicles on the map, but some recruit severs may. Edit: Also, that 9 min per kilometer is assuming flat land. If your path goes over hills or through towns (as it typically does), it could be a good deal longer.

-13 -EST (FL, USA) -Vehicles ready to go on certain servers

Sheer genius I laughed, I cried and even might have jibbed. I would participate only I would be inclined to ride passenger I think everyone knows my track record on vehicles.

In Real life if u saw a tank or any police car or militar vehicles or weapons u would take it for survive , so i think its correct , as they should unbanned the thanks at leats they should unban one model only but should be spawned as a rare vehicle and broked or without fuel

" giving DayZ access to many types of vehicles from military helicopters, to fire engines, police cars, and all the military and civilian vehicles you are used too from ArmA2." So much hnnnnnnnnnnngh

Work-in-progress interiors continued I was a little reluctant to post another screenshot update, as I hadn’t expected such a huge response to what was really just a quick drop of a few basic screenshots! But I figured sitting on these screenshots was rather pointless, so here they are. One caveat I forgot last time, the interiors do look very clean. Adding gore or deterioration can quickly be overdone, so we feel our first task is to create the interiors and ensure we are happy with the gameplay and quality of the basic texture work - then we will go through to add elements more authentic to the situation. Overall, we believe the experience should have a style more akin to “The Road” rather than gore for gore’s sake. When you find gore in DayZ, it will mean something and have impact. In fact, it will be most likely due to tragedy or betrayal involving a human player. This way, we believe what happens in the world matters, instead of simply adding some crashed buses and blood everywhere. In these screenshots the greater range of buildings that now have interiors is displayed, from the large office buildings, to the hospitals, metalwork factories, through to small cottages. Certainly, we think there will be some compelling events occurring the stairwells of the Hospital’s and office buildings! The first shot is a sneak peak at an entirely new area created on the map by Ivan and Martin, the two developers at Bohemia who are currently being held in Greece. They conducted a revamping of the map to add some new areas, tidy up bugs, and rebalance the placement of ponds, fountains, and such. Ivan was a big fan of DayZ, and the key architect behind the original Chernarus map - so we’re excited to get the map back out into everyone’s use. The usable area of the map is actually extended by their work. Next week we start the final phase of our data migration, which will then result in some new screenshots demonstrating some Take on Helicopter vehicles ported over, giving DayZ access to many types of vehicles from military helicopters, to fire engines, police cars, and all the military and civilian vehicles you are used too from ArmA2. Over the coming weeks, we expect this tumblr to get even more busy. View on Tumblr

I'd like to see proof of where we were "extremely rude" And you have been compensated for the downtime and all of our tools are being polished up right now. The only tool that is not fully functioning is our map tool to see in game vehicles. Is your server working now? I just posted in your thread yesterday with the following, not seeing the rudeness you speak of: Whats wrong with our service? We offer some of the most advanced features, including rMod, Database access, DayZTools(a program we coded using php) allowing for customizable vehicle settings and all sorts of other fun things. Map tools with in game vehicles and players. 5 different playable maps and competitive pricing. As far as I know, we are the only major provider using the most up to date Bliss private hive v3.6 with BEC and Anti-Hax enabled, which has the fewest bugs and comes out with database updates almost weekly. We might of had 1 issue with the 3.5 release, but we are rock solid now and 3.6 has fixed any ongoing issues. We are continuing to release some of the most innovative features and are always taking suggestions from our customers on ways that we can improve. I have provided a list below of what we are currently working on. Please send me a PM or reply here if there is anything we can do to give you a hand. - rMod server settings / rMod spawn vehicles (Run Task, daily task) - 90% done, ETA 2-3 days - Vehicle spawns based on server settings (requires an update for the new v3.6) - 30% done, ETA 1-2 days - WhitelisterPro server-side implementation (requires finishing some code) - 40% done, ETA 1-2 days - BEC / DayZAntiHax update - 0% done, ETA 1 week - Arma2 beta patch update - 0% done, ETA 2-3 days - DayZTools database backup, migration, restoration tool - 25% done, ETA 1 week

Yep. I was playing on a Private Hive and had just respawned near Kamenka. Moments later, I see a URAL come up the road from the west. I stand in the middle of the road hoping for them to run me over [as I wanted to spawn at Cherno to meet up with some friends]. Unfortunately, they stopped and the driver got out. And so did 7 other guys. They were all in Camo clothing [aside from one ghillied guy who had an M24 on him]. They ran around me and started shouting "GET IN THE URAL RIGHT NOW" and stuff. So I happily did as they said. We were driving for about...an hour or so when we reached Pik Kozlovka. I noticed that they had a shittone of tents and a few vehicles hidden up there. High end gear, the lot. I stayed in the back of the URAL to tried and be invisible. Maybe they'd forget about me and I could escape somehow. The driver hopped out of the URAL [to get some more stanag magazines for his L85]. I thought about driving away but they could blow out the tires easily. But then I realised something. Before the driver hopped out, him and I were the only two left in the URAL. He said on vehicle channel that he was "going to get some food" [and thus log out]. But I was the only one who could hear him as it was on vehicle channel... A plan was forming. URAL + steep hill + rocks of Pik Kozlovka = not a very good ride. The other guys didn't know that their driver had left. So I switched to drivers seat and waited. "Alright, let's go raid cherno for shit," said one of the members [i think he was their leader]. They all piled into the URAL and waited for "their" driver to take them down the mountain carefully on the side. Little did they know... I started up the engine and drove over a tent. "The fuck man?" asked the guy sitting beside me. "Shit, sorry, I was texting someone. I'm done now," I replied, hoping that they didn't detect the change of voice tone. They didn't, oddly enough [should have gone to spec savers...]. Oh well. I drove over three more tents and headed down the mountain. "THAT ONE HAD OUR ENGINE PARTS IN THERE YOU FUCKING MORON. That's it, get out Jack. Stop texting you fuckhead, let me drive." Rage filled the back seat. And here comes the cliff... Down goes the URAL, getting air for three seconds. It then impacted with the rock and everyone was knocked out. The URAL exploded, lighting up the dark sky. Surprisingly enough, I was the only survivor. [Why is it that the driver survives but the passengers don't? Weird.] Needless to say, it was absolutely hilarious.

Another Survival Servers customer here. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with their service and support. I'm now over a week without a server that works right. During some of that week, the server was playable, but there were no vehicles and no placed objects would get saved. The other part of the time, the server wouldn't let players in. I had about one day where there were vehicles, which then broke after a restart. The response from them has been getting increasingly slow, they HAVE gone over their 24 hour response time, and their reimbursement for over a week of downtime/unplayable servers is 5 bucks. From what I gather, there are very few people working at the company, and they seem to be constantly overwhelmed by the number of customers they have, and they like to add features without extensive testing. So, do them a favour and take your business elsewhere. With that in mind, does anyone have suggestions for alternatives? Is Dayz.St better? HFB? Vilayer?
