DayZ: Namalsk

zipper · June 16, 2012

But don't you see, that is the game, it's a part of the big picture that makes Dayz the game it is.
If all you're interested in doing is death matching (I'm assuming here as you haven't specified what 'playing the game' is to you) maybe you're in the wrong place.

You don't understand what I am saying. If you spawn in the southern most areas of the map, you literally have to run straight to Vorkuta or you will die. You cannot stop and loot things. You cannot meet up with other people. You cannot do anything but go to the only town that has any decent chance of food spawning there. That is not fun, has nothing to do with the "DayZ experience", and can be fixed.

BTW, your deathmatching comment is rather amusing. This is a god damn first person shooter. If that isn't your kind of thing, perhaps you should go play the Sims. Look at the

on the first page. Take a look at what it says at 45 seconds. Aside from that, my comment is directly related to what you call "deathmatching".

Don't you see? If it is impossible for me to find food, I am left with no other option but to shoot every person I come across so I will not die. Once everyone gets used to the map, the food supply will diminish even further, increasing KoS, something you say people should look elsewhere for. Try thinking before you post. It only hurts the first time, then you start to get used to it.

There seems to be a few people that have been reporting that only one person can get into a vehicle now, this is because of Warm Clothes, if you have someone wearing Warm Clothes while in a vehicle, the other options for players to gain access to the vehicle will disappear.

So if you want more than one person in a vehicle, take off your warm clothes.

You can report and talk about issues, things you would to see improved / added in DayZ: Namalsk topic http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/101981-dayz-namalsk/

Anyway, this is a known bug, same for unable to give blood transfusion while wearing warm clothes, I am still unable to find the source, but it does have a high prio.

btw.. o/ EVE player? :)

garack (DayZ) · July 19, 2012

Thank you for your feedback, I am already trying to take a look on these issues. But so far I am not familiar with the source of this problem (same for the blood transfusion to char with custom skin).
Thank you!
I think, the way of living you describe is really similar to the Chernarus DayZ, but I am really not sure about Namalsk, does its size really allows you to stock up and be king with all kinds of equipment behind? Not to mention the amount of people you meet everytime you go somewhere..
With the version v0.6, which should hopefully come this week, I changed several things to the temperature system:
The first and the most significant change is that the temp script has undergone more balancing, fixes of not really correctly working things. It also feature some new things (ghillie suit offers you a little more warm to your body, buildings does have a bit different effects, heatpacks will be once again a bit better) -> I will try to describe this a bit more in the release texts.
DayZ: Namalsk will also have on default settings small drops care packages, if you find them, you eventually have chance for getting hospital type of loot with higher antibiotics chance.
This update featuring also total transfer of all chernarus like buildings under my loot tables, this means also custom hospital loot. You will have better chances to find antibiotics there. (again, this whole loot table transfer will be described into details in the release texts and the changelog too).
Matches has been added to the farm loot table with 0.6 version. And about the animals, spawns are pretty much down currently, still deciding and probably higher them a bit + editing the animal type, because with the loot table conversion, there are more changes to the food distribution. I will have to recheck things in this again, how big impact it does really have. More info will come later.
Not sure, afaik there shouldn't be any problems with the currently existing signed PBO files.
Check few lines ↑, night gameplay should change in a good way, allowing you be a bit more mobile and even allowing you to "repair" bad luck situations, but you will still need to take close look on what you are doing (it will be also noticeable little in the daylight times too).

Nice Changes!!

I wouldn't even worry about vehicles on Namalsk, the map is so small that you're going to bring so much attention to yourself that they aren't worth it.

Last night I killed 2 seperate guys who had pick up trucks

boneboys · May 1, 2012

I've had the same problem giving blood to someone wearing a Ghillie suit a few times already.

The guys with who I play no longer wear a Ghillie for this reason.

We do not have the problem with the Camo clothing.

I am not sure if this is a recognized bug on the Tracker.

Topics merged.

_ghost_ · June 15, 2012

I just want to say, I am loving Namalsk! I actually have to worry about finding food and water again, it's great! I can't remember the last time I saw blinking red on my food/water in vanilla DayZ haha. Don't make it too much easier to find matches. I like the very real possibility of starving.

Keep up the good work, and I'm looking forward to future updates. :D

FearlessJew · August 19, 2012

I finally got my Namlask working and I have to say I didn't get to enjoy my first experience due to some loser hackers. Entire server got teleported from Tara Bridge to under the underground bunker. Then when I respawned and actually got to play on a non-hacker server, I was gunned down by a group of guys with some good weapons on the bridge. They all just shot straight down, I didn't stand a chance.

I like the map though, its nice. It feels so gloomy and miserable when I play. I died running through rain on a snow covered mountain very fast. i died a couple times from lack of food too. I also came across a few graphical glitches mainly at tara bridge on the side by the factory, and then one by the old hospital. Sorry, but I don't know what it exactly was, and I know there is tons of military loot all over this map and tons of guns so I have heard, but i searched 3 helicopter crashes and 2 military barracks to find one gun with no ammo and then just a bunch of random ammo. ;/

Overall though, thank you for making this map. Im sure i will have the chance to enjoy it more as I play over the next week.

Kill civilian zombies.

Collect food.

???

Profit.

Also, does anyone know how to fix the L85 thermal scope on this map (so the background isn't just plain black)?

Killakiwi · June 13, 2012

We could meet up and I could show if you like? Try pressing 'N' when scoped in.

No lol. I know how to switch to thermal. The scope is just plain black with red/white heat signatures, rather than contrasting red/orange as it was in Chernarus.

falcon911 · May 13, 2012

Thanks for the great map. Myself and the guys I play with are really enjoying it, amazing the amount of detail you've put into it.
BUG REPORT: Warm weather clothes are not allowing people to access vehicles to others. Example, If I am wearing the warm clothes skin, and I get into a vehicle in any position, no one can access it after until I exit. This includes any position and the gear menu. All other skins seem to function normally. Really hope you've already found a fix for this and it will be included in your next release.

BUG REPORT: Add onto this: Personnel in Winter Clothing cannot be bloodbagged..

BUG REPORT: Add onto this: Personnel in Winter Clothing cannot be bloodbagged..

I don't think this is quite true. I found I was able to bloodbag a friend last night, I just had to get MUCH farther away from him than normal for the menu to come up. Got it almost by accident. Both of us were in winter clothes.

Not true. Tested several times. Working just fine, atleast for our squad.

spuddels · May 12, 2012

having a few issues getting this working, I have the disc version for the game and only use mod folders, so I have the @NC folder with all the addons for the normal part of the game and then do I just put the dayz ones in the same folder? I tried loading it up through the beta patch but it doesnt show Namalsk as being loaded?

edit: i'm an idiot nevermind

Put the ns_dayz files in the @NS>addons folder.

Put the key files in the arma 2 operation arrowhead key folder.

Also add the more military heli's to be allowed. Private hives should be able to add they own from any class.

**Sumrak** · May 24, 2012

Hey guys, just a quick heads up for you, I've been testing today on bliss dedicated server (thanks to Shiva for help!), we've tested certain modifications I had to do because of the different versions, which will exists once I will release next update. First is the new mission file modifications should not allow to the players with the current version (0.55) to connect on the server with new dayz namalsk update (0.60, to be released) (because BE is not able kick these people) - we had to do it because otherwise server gets really buggy. The second thing I had to implement today is version checking, similar to the DayZ mod, which will be help managing future releases and protect the servers from the players with wrong version of dayz namalsk. So this slowed a bit the actual release, but it is for good thing definitely! :)

We've also tested fix for the warm clothes and you should be able with the new version board the same vehicle. Some of you have problems with blood transfusion, but we've tested this too and were not able to reproduce this issue - it was working normally.

Just few more things I need to change in the config and DayZ: Namalsk v0.60 is ready to release! :)

ps: changelog almost ready too, should be up soon

garack (DayZ) · July 19, 2012

nice news Sumrak, your map is really the best.

Please remove this One-Shot snipers from the map, they really destroy the new survival atmosphere created by your mapping features.

I like pvp but one-shot is not pvp. i like shotouts with two m16 or stuff. but i press a button and the other die ...it doesnt fit to this map...

I kind of like the mid class gun fights too, 0.60 brings some of the initial changes to this. More with the changelog :P

**Sumrak** · May 24, 2012

This is preliminary of changelog for DayZ: Namalsk v0.6.

(something may be missing)

New: You can see zombies now roaming in the forest areas, this has been done to enhance player's cautious while travelling or hiding in the forests on Namalsk

New: Necessary steps has been done to make sniper rifles more rare including the experimental gauss rifle

Added: CfgBuildingLoot changed to CfgBuildingLootNamalsk, this class now contains not only the custom loot tables and loot spots, but also redefined Chernarus buildings, used by Namalsk

Added: 'building_spawnLoot.sqf', 'building_spawnZombies.sqf', 'zombie_generate.sqf' and 'player_spawnCheck.sqf' moved to nst\ns_dayz\code\compile to support the CfgBuildingLoot -> CfgBuildingLootNamalsk change

Added: 'gather_meat.sqf' to nst\ns_dayz\code\actions to support the animal change

Added: 'player_animalCheck.sqf' to nst\ns_dayz\code\compile to support the animal change

Added: Small addition to the mission file to prevent players with any older version of DayZ: Namalsk to connect on 0.60 servers

Added: 'player_monitor.fsm', 'player_monitor.sqf' added and modified so the clients are able to receive version info of DayZ: Namalsk from the server and compare it with their own (+ string added, in case of the wrong version)

Improved: Roaming zombie script now spawns on the predefined position/s (hangPos[] in CfgBuildingLoot), if this position is not defined, it spawns zombies on the default model position (dayz default behaviour)

Improved: Roaming zombies should find a bit more possible locations for walking than before

Changed: nst\ns_dayz\code\init\variables.sqf to support the CfgBuildingLoot -> CfgBuildingLootNamalsk change

Changed: ALL CHERNARUS BUILDINGS WERE MOVED UNDER CUSTOM NAMALSK LOOT TABLES (hospital, supermarket, offices, deerstands,..) => I have now 100% control of the loot tables of Namalsk

Changed: used sqf files in ns_dayz.pbo from dayz_code.pbo were updated for DayZ 1.7.3 code version

Changed: Animal spawn made a bit higher (more low & mid class animals), but the yield lower

Changed: Disabled zombie spawn on 'Land_most_blok'

Changed: 'Land_mi8_crashed' (only helicrash loot type object on Namalsk - with custom loot table HeliCrashNamalsk) now contains only 2 lootspots (previously 4)

Changed: 'Land_st_vez' relooted due to possible broken loot spot coordinate

Changed: 'Land_molovabud1' was relooted (broken z coordinate of loot spots) and changed its count of the loot spots to 9

Changed: 'Land_ind_expedice_1' was relooted due to broken lootspot coordinates and changed its count of the loot spots to 13

Fixed: Wrong loot positions on Land_ind_quarry, Land_ind_sawmill and Land_psi_bouda

Fixed: Player, wearing warm clothes, blocked access to the vehicle for the people without warm clothes (the player, wearing warm clothes was on different side)

Tried: To improve behaviour after model change, to prevent swimming in the ground or on the objects (probably not 100% fix)

Added: Loot type 'medicalNamalsk', based on 'medical'

Added: Added spawn and spawn chance of 'ItemAntibiotic'

Added: Loot type 'hospitalNamalsk', based on 'hospital'

Changed: Higher chance for spawn of 'ItemAntibiotic'

Added: Loot type 'militaryNamalsk', based on 'military'

Changed: lowered chances for the spawning of mid class ammo (STANAG, AK,..)

Changed: added spawn and spawn chance of 'ItemWaterbottleUnfilled'

Added: Loot table SuperMarketNamalsk

Changed: 'generic' loot type to 'genericNamalsk' loot type

Changed: 'food' loot type to 'foodNamalsk' loot type
