Sorry mate, I have no idea how them PMC models work with dayz. But I have being told that is were the high res textures come from. Same with the vehicles, interiors have low res textures. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@DayZ" -nosplash -world=emptyThis should be the shortcut that will work for you =) Give that a try. I will see if I can find out about the PMC stuff for DayZ =)

I first learned of DayZ through youtube, i was looking for "Open-world Zombie-survival games" and i found a gameplay video of DayZ and decided to watch it, i was interested by the actual survival aspect, unlike otherzombie games, the aim was surviving, not killing. I was drawn by the graphics, the realism, and the massive world. Currently i have only played DayZ at a friend's house and i already i have killed 6 people and found 12 good vehicles, and i found 3 vehicles packed with supplies. I hope to get the SA game if my Windows 7 laptop will run it, 9My laptop cannot run Stalker: Clear sky so im guessing it won't run dayZ.

2 vehicles every square kilometer.... 2 helis every 10 square kilometers.... the ability to spawn north....

Play one of the Official hive servers by ticking hide unofficial on your DayZ Commander if you use that, or just type US/UK(or wherever you're from) into the server name filter. Usually a few of em have 30+ players, and they are guaranteed vanilla servers with no added weapons/vehicles.

Automatic "Rich person" cars should exist in higher class residential areas, so late-night cruisers and Russian clubgoers don't have to worry about changing gears. Chenaran military vehicles of course should be gearboxed all the way. :) But how would changing gears work? 1,2,3,etc and disable inventory hotkeys in vehicles? Number pad? ...

That is the plan. It won't be implemented to start with but further down the line vehicles and the way they work will be overhauled.

For standalone, I don't want to see these vehicles just 'spawn in'. I would like to see it if we can 'craft' the cars that spawn in. As someone said above, make your own technical out of a hatchback or something, you would of course need a gun and some other parts to make it work, as well as have to stock it with ammo (could be a simple as an AKM mounted to the top of a hatchback with a hole cut in the roof. Think that it should be made so that you cant just mount a m240 on a car, then jump from the driver seat to the gunner's seat via a menu, you should have to jump out of the car, then get back in through the gunner's door. To even mounting an actual heavy machine gun on a UAZ or something). I also think we should be able to 'armor' up vehicles a little bit, mount a steel plate/sheet of plywood over the windows for extra protection. Its been said that when they do add vehicles one of the things they want to do is let us 'mad max' em up a bit (wrap the car in razor wire, mount tank traps on the front as a battering ram, tie a naked femboy to the rear bumper...wait what? DAMNIT STEAK get out of my head!)

These vehicles you want are already on some maps dude..

I would like to see this as a crafting option on certain vehicles tbh. It should probably take two passenger seat and/or cargo slots in order to not make it a straight upgrade. EG: The blue van would lose the two back seats in order to fit a SAW/another weapon you can find in-game. (Would love an MG42 mounted on a reinforced blue soccer mom van. This obviously shouldn't work with a GAZ or something similar. I would also love a turret-less T-34 ...

Why not add tanks without ammo or a broken gun? Then they would be mainly used for protection against the zeds. And if you mean that you can just get to the coast without getting harmed, there's not that much difference to regular vehicles. A fresh spawn can't destroy a tank because he /she doesn't have a gun, but then he/she couldn't destroy a car either, so...

Ehm, well if you would be able to add weapons which are removed from the loot tables and still be able to sync with the official hive, then players would experience problems if they find a "banned" weapon on your server and then go onto another server. So if you want to customize your server and add weapons and vehicles that are not in the original DayZ you can't expect to still be hive connected can you? Or have I missed something?

All the restrictions with dayz has lead to about 10 different game mods of chernarus original, why is that you say? Because the game just gets boring without no unique attributes. I say personally if you bring back all the guns and vehicles then it would be like when i first started dayz, a fun game. But for all of those who are full on ehatever is goes, then idk.. Please have a server like a person mentioned above without any mods and see if you get more than 10 people. People have to go out of their way to create their own private hive and add mods and vehicles or create a mod of a mod without restrictions. I just dont see logic behined the reatrictions from an admin side of things.

Have you tried The Purgatory [Private Hive] | Vanilla | 100 Vehicles | Custom Anti-Hack / Custom Anti-Combatlog | Active Admins | Trondheim, No 89.151.204.151:2302

Thank you so much man i will check this out :D Cool just what i need man :) And i no this seem like a Long List but this is my Wish list and i feel like this would make an awsome server http://opendayz.net/threads/dayz-house-lights.12316/ http://opendayz.net/threads/dayz-illuminant-tower-lighting.12326/ http://opendayz.net/threads/working-repair-and-refueling-stations.12339/ http://opendayz.net/threads/krixes-self-bloodbag-script.12288/ http://opendayz.net/threads/remove-parts-from-vehicles-simplified.12064/ http://opendayz.net/threads/100-custom-loot-tables-tutorial.12117/ http://opendayz.net/threads/old-tent-placement-script.12017/ http://opendayz.net/threads/krixes-tent-sleep-healing-script.12287/ http://opendayz.net/threads/base-building-dayz-1-2-released.12123/ This would possibly take a long time to do lol Cool thank You :) I Really need help big time i will for sure Pm you guys

If anyone wants to join, nows the time, everything JUST spawned in, 30 vehicles, and very little loot. Have fun.

I just don't see the point in having 5 Vehicles per person, especially since some are basically rolling tanks in overwatch :/, not many shit cars either since I set up the vehicle types. Edit: and another reason i do it is it give people a reason to hunt others down if they for some reason want to have 5 vehicles. Edit: 96 Vehicles now

Finally updated to 1.0.1.5 Hello fellow 'Zombie Killaz'! WTF have had a change in the world of DayZ, Instead of the normal DayZ we decided we wanted more of a point to play and have given Epoch a try! At the moment we are staying at Vanilla Epoch on Chernarus but i'm sure we will be adding a few bits and bobs soon to spice it up. This server is fairly NEW so jump on, gather your building supplies and build your bases ANYWHERE you choose without there being a neighboring camp close by! New Server - Not many players active but admins are always around.We prefer Survival but PVP is not discouraged... Where would the fun be?200+ Random spawning vehicles - All vehicles found are tradeable with the exception of a few uniqe ones.Base building active and working - build your own base!Original starting loadout - Backpack, random inventory item, Bandage and Flashlight (Though you are not very far from equipping yourself with some sort of weapon)Day/Night CycleExtra vehicle models - Police cars etc. Personally I love the Epoch mod, more players on the server adds to the excitement of being a team, I would love to roll around with you guys! So, I am hoping to see clans and small or large groups being frequent players so we can get events running as often as we can. We are open to comments, suggestions etc. so don't be afraid to voice your opinion on the server, just be polite :) WTF are also looking for more DayZ favoured players, If you would like to team with us on our server then take a look at the info below!

Honestly I don't think much is fundamentally different. I started a new character a couple of weeks ago (I can only play a couple hours every few days). I've been using the same vanilla public server and it's usually pretty full, depending on time of day: Spent some time in Cherno gearing up. Met a friendly player in the market and later at the hospital/apartments. Teamed up for a bit, traded some weapons, then went our separate ways. Found a dead body with a M14AIM in one of the apartments. No ammo so I left it. Didn't mention it to my "friend". LOL Found 2 DMR mags in the big construction site. After much deliberation and hearing many gunshots, decided to risk going back for the M14. SUCCESS! Wandered up north for awhile. Killed a guy in the Zelenogorsk market. Took his GPS. Hit some heli crashes. More DMR rounds. Got freaked out when someone tossed a road flare at me. Heard some scary gunfire around Gorka. Hit for awhile, then moved on. Found a fully functional Huey in Petrovka! Buzzed Cherno a bit until I ran out of fuel. Tried to hide the helicopter near Zelenogorsk but someone took it. Wander the West and North edges of the map looking for camps or vehicles. No luck. :( Visit to Pobeda Dam Almost died on a rock at Black Mountain. Found a pair of ATVs at Klen. Didn't feel like fixing them. Not sure what I want to do next. But DayZ still seems pretty DayZ to me. I don't even mind the infection thing. It makes me want to stay away from zombies more or be quicker to use my weapon to keep they from getting close.

Yes the latest greatest ? version. Every new spawn gets an infection within minutes of playing and there is no way to fix, hospitals not spawning anything... zombies knocking you to the ground, still not enough vehicles much less hi-end loot at AF, starting gear is pathetic, why hasn't wasteland been combined with dayz yet ? I could go on and on and fucking on. Perhaps its just the vilayer server but I suspect not. The real issue- About 20 different dayz variant mods have fragmented the player base and the original mod is garbaged it seems, I suspect this is partly intentional to make the SA look all the more better, but those who have been running servers must be pisssed off with this situation as I am. I cannot be the only one.. For months and months our Dayz server was THE most popular dayz server in the UK, all that has gone. Nothing more to say except I am disappointed how this has turned out, not only did we enjoy great games with our players but were also happy to provide our players with a great gaming experience. Over and out.

Lack of vehicles put people off.

I prefer the idea of using the butt of your gun to render them unconscious. Think of the possibilities! Imagine if you could put dragged bodies into vehicles. Haha. Kidnap your foes! I want THAT kind of functionality. I'll just hatchet that fool in the head if I want to insta-kill him.

He means a Namalsk server that doesnt have any changed loot spawns, added vehicles, or added starting gear. Back in the day there used to be many, but now you simply cannot find a Namalsk server that is populated without seeing the dreadful "SPAWN WITH DMR, SELF-BLOODBAG, 450 VEHICLES!!!!1111ONEONE!!". Same goes for non-origins Taviana and pretty much any other map that doesn't have it's own public hive.

ok here is a video explaining the basics of DayZ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0mVpSB6hSI Here is episode 2 about medic supplies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8HP0Gvay68 Here is Episode 3 about Base Building http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYG6Op_r4bk&feature=youtu.be Here is Episode 4 about the hatchet(i heard a lot off people did not know how to do this) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-p9fyPFuxg&list=PLPlmI6JMePET0V0D3nFBIeRZNDXkxOjzZ&index=4 Here is Episode 5 about how to repair vehicles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZDeNZE0A-o Thanks for watching and reading this thread i will be making a playlist of the basics of dayz so if you want to know more then subscribe thanks Subscribe: http://www.youtube.c...user=outlaw1198

Something to remember is that horses are not vehicles. You shouldn't be able to merrily ride your horse off a cliff or into an oncoming car. The horse would simply refuse. Horses also spook very easily. I knew a horse that was terrified of chickens. Random gunshot? Maybe it rears up in panic with a chance of you falling off.
