Other than covering one position, I don't know what use a single survivor would have for a .50 It should be a squad weapon like helicopters tend to be squad vehicles

And with the way weapons will exist in the world as vehicles (whatever that means haha) adding and removing the barrel would hopefully be possible

Hi can someone explain how I get private hive tools to work? I have a hfbserver running epoch and I have setup the tools correctly as far as I can see players and vehicles on the map but I cant seem to teleport players or edit survivors or anything like that.

hello the create vehicles and other things like that do not work with epoch you have to set these things in the init.sqf in your mission file ie MaxVehicleLimit = 150; more can be found here http://dayzepoch.com/wiki/index.php?title=Init.sqf epoch uses a lite version of the database schema this contains different tables to what you are used to the tables used are character_data object_data player_data player_login server_traders //currently not used by epoch was made for an admin side webpage config traders_data trader_items //currently not used by epoch was made for an admin side webpage config trader_tids //currently not used by epoch was made for an admin side webpage config if you are still having issues with this then you may want to reinstall the epoch schema

lol I did pretty much the same! Vehicles werent initially active when I started playing and then when they were added I didnt see any for a couple of weeks. When I did eventually spot my first vehicle one (a datsun pickup in a farm outside of Sosnovoka) I made a sprint for it, attracting a massive train of zombies! I eventaully made it to the car, sat in it, flicked on the lights to illuminate the crowd of Zeds in front of the car, which were now going mad, and realised that the engine and wheels were FUBAR. Shit! I sat there for about 10 mins before I could get back out as I had only about 5 rounds in my Makarov, low blood and no bandages left! lol Happy dayz :D

Hey Leute ihr habt bock auf ein coolen Server mit coolen Admins dann kommt doch auf DE 123. Ich hoffen wir sehen uns mal und kommt auf unseren TS³ Server : tsTAC.nitrado.net Hier ist noch mal die genaue ip : DayZ DE 123 (v1.8/build 103419) [VETERAN|Private Hive|3DP:ON|Very good loot|Europe Time|+1500 vehicles|CH:ON][GMT-1] - hosted by nitrado.net MFG Andy und das Admin-Team :beans: :D :thumbsup:

Although I dislike what DayZ mod has become due to modding, I can see why it made the game "fresh" for some people. The thing is, nearly all new content used in those mods isn't exactly new but is more like a collection of ARMA addons created by the community over the years. What I mean is, people assume allowing the SA to be moddable would give us 10s of new islands, vehicles, weapons within a few months of release but In reality it would be more of the same, with just ported stuff already used in DayZ mod. Ideally, modding should not be needed for the standalone. It will only be a problem if not enough new content and updates are being released. In the future, I wouldn't mind paying for a professionaly made island/map created specifically with a zombie apocalypse in mind. I'd prefer that to allowing custom maps as well.

Ok, im starting to worry that SA could end up DOA.....if it ever even arrives. Just look at the falling views on the dev blogs Im not moaning here I just want to raise some issues that are worrying me. Firstly is this Dead Nation thing. Im guessing its not an official dayz thing (might be wrong). I mean the website is a complete rip off of this one, and the gameplay is not far off the same. Some of the good stuff from the SA is gonna be the new weps, the mass inventory system and of course the updated map. Arma 3 has the mass system....and a huge range of new weapons and a completely new map to explore. I have already heard friends say that if the mod gets good enough they may not even buy SA. Another thing is, how long will it take a game company to "Ok, this is taking too long". I fear they may shelf it if the player base drops and moves to the A3 version. Also worrying that this may make them look at it from a purely financial standpoint, eg. deciding they missed the opportunity to cash in on its success. I think we need an Alpha asap, no matter how buggy. I mean did you see the state of the arma 3 alpha.....even to this day it dosent have a full compliment of vehicles or even a campaign. Maybe a similar set up with an SA Alpha....buy into it for 20 quid, help find bugs simply by playing it, and receive the full version on relace. Theres probably other points iv missed, so, what do you guys think?

My reaction for no vehicles Better to think and balance them. I'm not a fan of vehicles in a game like this.

So a little background on myself. I played War Z a few months back, probably like 6ish+. This was before it was hacked and then the name change and it went on steam. I liked it at first until you couldn't do anything because of the hackers and cheats. That made me stop playing it then it went through getting hacked(the website/forums), then it went on steam and now it's a different name or something(Survival Stories?). While I think the game had great potential the game just blew and the developer lied to everybody about server pricing and just non stop issues from the day I started playing it. So I haven't touched it since then. While I play BF3 mostly, I'm growing tired of it and I refuse to play BF4 because of DICE's history in never leaving the game alone, always tampering with it and jacking something up. This has made me start looking at DayZ. My plan is to rent a server and play private and maybe get some friends to play in it as well. I want to have a straight PvE server so I don't have to worry about being shot in the back and what not. My main question is all the mods, it's a little overwhelming because I've never played any before. So I will say what I'm looking for mainly: 1.) If you can build a location to keep friends in and zombies out that would be a perk, and in stead you just have to do runs for supplies and what not. 2.) I'm okay with vehicles and the fuel system, but how does it work and how long does gas last, how rare is it, etc...? 3.) I know Epoch has trading which is cool and that seems like a neat feature. 4.) How do the mods work, are they only 1 map per mod, or can a mod run all maps, if so which map is better? I mean just by doing quick browsing and watching some videos that I've seen most of them say Origins & Epoch are the best? I'm open to really anything but instead of just saying what you prefer, can you please give me a detailed reason why? What do you like about it and what don't you like? Also maybe list your top 3. I appreciate any help with this, so thank you.

Military vehicles are probably tough enough to not take much damage, or anything reinforced. But that extra force could still make you loose control of your car.If they just had first person only... Then I'd love for the body to fly up and go strawberrys on your windscreen as you slide around the road braking furiously. May e if you jump at the perfect moment you can only seriously injure your legs as you roll over the roof and the car looses control. They stop and get out expecting a bit of broken loot for the taking and then you mow them down. Better hope they got some splints and morphine though.

Hi mate, welcome to Day - the real zombie survival game. If you enjoyed WAR Z i dare say you will love Day Z. Theres a few different versions of Day Z but Id say in my opinion the best is Epoch and vanilla. Vanilla is fantastic and obviously always going to be held in the highest regard by loyal and time served players but in my opinion its biggest problem is it can get a bit stale after a long period of time as threes not enough to work towards long-game. To try and address your questions bout the game; 1.) If you can build a location to keep friends in and zombies out that would be a perk, and in stead you just have to do runs for supplies and what not. Most "flavours" of Day Z now support some kind of base building or fortification, even the Vanilla version (the original mod, now being developed by Razor). However my personal preference, and fast becoming the communities flavour of choice is Day Z epoch, which has a fantastic modular building system as standard. This truly adds longevity to teh game and makes for some exciting survival stories. On our server I've seen some truly amazing building projects (I'll be uploading some pics/videos soon!) 2.) I'm okay with vehicles and the fuel system, but how does it work and how long does gas last, how rare is it, etc...? It depends on the version of Day Z and of course the server. Most servers on most versions have vehicles and, whats more, most servers have a good number of vehicles to be found or salvaged. Gas cans spawn pretty commonly in farm/industrial buildings and a jerry can will get you a good way around the map. Jerry cans can be refueled from any gas container found on the map (they are quite common in residential areas) and in some versions such as epoch, you can siphon fuel from other vehicles. Both siphoning and filling jerry cans though leave you vulnerable to Zeds and other players. Most server owners also have auto refuel scripts on their server, so you can drive upto a petrol station and auto fill your car, Personally I dont like this and dont have it enabled on our server as it makes things too easy. Its meant to be a struggle to survive and in my opinion planning your travel and fuel resources is a key part of that 3.) I know Epoch has trading which is cool and that seems like a neat feature. As I said earlier, i personally recommend Epoch to any fan of the genre. Its especially good for teams who like to try and survive long term and build strong holds. It has so many features that I couldnt possibly post here , but the traders are often a key feature picked up on - they are a marmite feature. You either love them or hate them. i personally hated them at the start because they seem to go against the grain of what Day Z is all about! I thought, why bother scavenging when you can just go buy all the best gear in the game? however, practically they work really well as they actually encourage scavenging as you can sell pretty much everything you find! if you find a good server where the traders are well balanced and teh better stuff costs a lot more, it also really helps. Having a currency in the game also means theres more to gain/lose which helped add to the atmosphere in game. Epoch has the best features in my opinion, much more than just traders, sucha s the modular building system, personal safes and locker boxes, combination locks, crafting, lighting systems, generators, server events, more vehicles (it has tones of additonal cars and vans!), salvagable vehicle parts, dogs, more skins, more loot - its a big mod and its constantly being developed and improved. Vanilla is a good introduction to the game though and you should still try it though! Namalsk and overwatch are good versions too. 4.) How do the mods work, are they only 1 map per mod, or can a mod run all maps, if so which map is better? Easiest way to play is to just install Day z commander. You can control your updates and each individual mod/version of Day Z from there, having multiple versions installed. Finally you mentioned a server - I would strongly recommend finding a server and playing a few different versions first. There are far too many private servers now and it dilutes the community. A big part of Day Z's appeal comes from the tension and atmosphere generated by other players. Having the run of a server is good, especially when you're brand new to the game, dont get me wrong but the PvP side of the game is where it shines! Good servers I can think of apart from our own are Musty Gaming servers, CPC (epoch) , MGT and CCG

What would you expect from Sergey Titov the guy who makes the worlds shittiest games? Big rigs, Taxi Racer anyone? 1. The only location you guys would be, is placing tents and guarding them. underground shelters are nothing too confirmed but they are discussing about it. And there will be no perks, everyone is equal to one another. (Tents are in the mod, the underground thingy is discussed to standalone) 2.Well with a full tank, it ofc depends from the vehicle as most of them have different sized fuel tanks. But lets say you find Lada, I'm pretty sure you can drive thru the map and atleast half way back without a refuel.(Vehicles won't be on the release version of Standalone as they are completely redone from scratch) 3. - 4.Different mods have different maps so Epoch shares Chernarus with Vanilla DayZ and Origins shares Taviana map with Taviana mod. I would say Vanilla DayZ on Chernarus is and always will be the best mod, second best would be Namalsk if anyone play's it anymore...

*Added more vehicles.

Hello, I am looking for a sort of "vanilla" DayZ Cherno server, not these 1000 vehicles, 200 choppers, barracks in every village, autorepair, 300+ crashsites servers. I have been searching around for a while but cant really find anything suitable. My browser is just filled with these CoD style deathmatch servers. I am thinking about a medium pop server ( 30-40 ), preferably with a whitelist requirement. I would be grateful for any suggestion

if thats your way of thinking any survival kit from any vehicles would probably have a hunting knife which can be used as a weapon and those mag lights are really freaking common you can get them at any wal mart also you have no right to say that it makes sense to start with nothing untill survivors are given unarmed punches otherwise realism is tossed out the window because a single zombie can be fended off fairly eaisly and any survivor could easily pick up a stick or tree branch off the ground and deal a killing blow. in all starting with some kind of weapon or at least allowing improvised weaponry is nesicary otherwise you end up with a pointless handicap due entirely to a limitation of the game engine rather than a balanced realistic simulation

So our Group of friends play on a recently bought Epoch server and we need people to join it and so i though I would start here here is the descripition of our Server We have recently set up a server, AI mission's that are hard and have good loot, a good varying selection of Vehicles, The admins are regularly on, they have there own TS address if you wish to contact them, we have custom Anti hack scripts, fully working admin tools and traders anf aExtremely large section of Weapons up for use if you wish to do some recording etc. WEBSITE http://mfagaming.com/home IP FOR 142.4.215.173:2322 TS ADDRESS ts22.gameservers.com:9311 HOPE WE SEE YOU ON THERE
