Namalsk map question, doesn't fireplace heat the body in the mountains?

[decoman 45]

Doesn't a bonfire heat the body in the mountains? The body temp icon kept blinking even when sitting near a fireplace in the snowy mountain, and only got better when lighting a new fire at a lower altitiude.

I am not sure, and the change log isn't real detailed on the functionality (makes me almost wish I had the time to learn script, but need to learn Spanish first. Latino girls.) but I am pretty sure that you need the warm clothes to heat up any time you at high elevation and/or on the snow. The negative effects from snow + elevation overshadow the positive effect from the fireplace.

Yes it does warm the body, but I only noticed it when I laid over the fire, I mean over as in roasting myself. It was when the icon stopped flashing I realised it worked!

You have to be on top of it, works.

Check the Namalsk Topic for latest chang log.

Do you have to be on top of them to heat you in Chernarus too?

no

i think temperature in namalsk is borked somehow, even if you take a heatpack you be back at bibbering in no time, same with warming yourself at a fireplace.

maybe its by design, namalsk is supposed to be a hardcore pvp map. then again i had not much pvp there yet, its a just tad toooo hardcore for my liking.

where i am glad that we now get 1.7.3 to play with :D

The fireplaces are extremely buggy in their current state, and yes you need to be on top of them to heat up no matter what map you are playing on.

I was sitting near the fireplace. Took ca. 10 minutes to raise the temp to relative greenish.

PS: in Chernarus
