Build 1.7.4.4 Rolling Update

[rocket 16567]

The next community update has been approved for release. This has been entirely developed by the community, my involvement has simply been oversight. Please direct your support for this update to them, as they deserve it. Some great work has gone into this, and all involved should be very pleased with their efforts. The update requires the latest beta, an update to the client mod files, and also an update to the server mod files + HiveEXT.

How do Install it?

Recommended to use PlayWithSix or DayZCommander to update your files.

Noice! Guess everyone can stop QQ'ing about .50 BMG's and L85's, 0.01 and 0.02 spawn rates? Those things are going to be hard to find.

[bluecrackers 175]

So no more l85 aws?

[Trizzo 632]

...* [REMOVED] BAF_L85A2_RIS_CWS From Loot table...interesting...would have prefered the AS50 because i know what I have killed with/been killed by more but oh well...and without the AS50 the L85 wouldn't have been so bad anyway. Who has found a legit spawned one anyway?

G17 icon? Replaces combat timer countdown?

[fatalwaffles 20]

Nice!

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

Good stuff! Ohh, street lights active in towns, interesting...

[rossums 2190]

Some nice changes, the street lights being the main change - might make some of the daytime babies play at night!

[Mr Nasty 1023]

HUZZAH!

[boneboys 7988]

Been using it for a while on DayZ.nu test servers.

I like it.

[mzltv 2281]

Well if that's not an early Christmas present, I don't know what is!

Stoked. Cheers all who were involved!

This is true, but...

* [uPDATED] (*.1 Hotfix)Lowered As50 loot chance to 0.01

[rocket 16567]

The streetlight change should never have been put in, it will be removed in a hotfix.

[RiggsUK 69]

All well and good but i dont see anything about us people whos display driver crashes and we revert to desktop every 10secs trying to play this game. I'ts a 2010 problem, please do something about it.

[External89 21]

Any idea when it might be released?

[Leadon77 94]

Why no street lights? It would make sneaking around a city at night more interesting having to plan a route to avoid light.

That sounds like a problem on your/their system.

Back on Topic please.

[dgeesio 1034]

Good. What the hell would be powering the streetlights?

[Leadon77 94]

Hydroelectric at the "dams" could be one thing. The lights around here are all on solar power with battery back ups. But then again who's replacing the bulbs in them when they get shot out?

[boneboys 7988]

Street lights are interesting but have no effect on Infected awareness at the moment, which sort of makes them a redundant gameplay element (apart from the lighting).

In my humble opinion.

[Fraggle (DayZ) 15720]

I'd like to see the odd random event of a flickering streetlight here and there. It must be possible to add fairly easily and would add some nice atmosphere. I'm glad to see thermals finally ditched.

Not only that, but in a post-apocolyptic zombie world, the street lights woulda run out of juice ages ago :thumbsup:

edit: scratch that, Fraggle's idea above is pretty sick. would make night-time gameplay eerie as f*ck!

[Mos1ey 6301]

Awesome! Sounds great. :)

[Leadon77 94]

The lighting may bring more players to stay on 1 server instead of jumping around finding only daylight servers is my only thought on this one. More people would run through the city's during the night if there was a bit of lighting,

In my humble opinion. I like the rest of the updates too, excited to see some form of lighting for local areas besides chem's, flares, and flashlights. Maybe a generator with a lamp? Something to brighten up the darkest nights....
