Custom maps

[Claw 26]

Sorry if this has been covered before :s

I play dayz on 1.7.2 server version 584 on offical servers. If i dl lingor and play it will i loose my normal profile?amd my loot ? Can you run 2 seperate profiles at the same time, one being on custom maps and one on normal dayz?

Also if i update to new patch will i loose my stuff? I cancelled that steam update and currently launching dayz from the exe in the folder.

Thanks in advance :)

First, if you are using dayzcommander and you're updating your game to 1.7.3 you are not going to lose your gear.

Second, with dayz commander you can see if the server is connected to a private or the public hive (if it not connected to the public hive you will see a cloud with a X) . Normaly you should not lose your gear if you go to a private server (since the hive is not connected to the public.) But you will need to stay on that server or you will start form scratch (since it not connected to the hive).

Finaly, custom map are not connected to the public hive.

Ah ok, im not using dayz comander. My squad have a lot of gear between us but i guess dayz is like war, if you realise ur stuff is already gone you are half way there. Have already lost a ton of stuff to restarts, bugs etc so used to it i guess. So if im not using comander i will loose all my tents veicles and equipment if i update?

Also sorry for being thick but can run 2 profiles? If i play lingor and then want to play on vanilla chernus will it load my orig character? Im guesing yes by what you said about hive

If you lose stuff without update or stuff it might be the server that didn't save in the hive. But if you place a tent on the ground you have to come back in the SAME server because tent save only in one server.

And it totally safe to update to 1.7.3 with dayzcommander (i don't know manually)

Thaniks for the replys Soarin, yeah i know tents are server dependant , just wondered if the 584 servers we play on update to new patch we will loose our tents etc. Thanks agasin for all the advice, looking forward to playing on lingor and others until standalone.

Yes you can 'run two profiles', in fact you can have as many 'profiles' as there are private hives. So lets say you play on 4 different public servers, when you switch between those servers you'll have all same stuff etc. Now if you then go on a Private hive (ALL new maps are private hives) you will have nothing ON THAT PRIVATE HIVE (until you loot stuff ofc). If you go back to public you will still have all your gear you had on those public servers.

So yeah, if you play 4 public servers and lets says you also play on 2 different maps Lingor and Namask. You will have THREE 'profiles' or characters whatever you want to call them. 1 Public character. 1 Lingor char. 1 Namalsk char.

It sounds a bit complicated, but its not once you work it out :)

Oh and yeah, always update man, you wont lose your stuff. And the updates are IMPROVEMENTS.
