Build 1.7.4.4 Rolling Update

[Ander (DayZ) 530]

Thanks Ander, I will try this.

Regarding Script restriction #45:

It's easy to fix for server admins. Unfortunately many admins are not capable of doing their job.... But I'm sure it will be updated by Dwarden soon.

In the mean time:

scripts.txt

Find: 5 setHit

Add: !"[player,\"legs\", (_fractures select 0)] call object_setHit;" !"[player,\"hands\", (_fractures select 1)] call object_setHit;"

Quoiting this for the truth.

I pretty much laughed when i seen the ship but when I seen your character salute the ship I nearly lost all my Dr. Pepper through my nose.

Classic shot :D i had pretty much the same reaction.

No thermal + smaller chance drop for the 107 and the as50..i feel safer already :)

All these people getting butt hurt over the street lamps. Seriously, you are worried about power to the street lamps. I'd care more about power a building for more then a few hours over powering the street lamps, flares, chemlights and your flashlights.

and people getting mad about the L85, I found it only useful as a spotter weapon or overwatch, it was in accurate at more then a hundred meters. Those saying "no way to find a ghillied sniper" don't know how to exit a town safely.

@Rocket and the other Devs

I love you guys so very much! Thank you!

I say they should keep the L85, add more weapons with thermal vision, and add streetlights, light sabers and unicorns.

Thanks for this community dev team and Rocket, downloading now, can't wait to play.

What does "[NEW] Fully Removed Save button from action menu." mean ?

I assume it's the save button that comes up on vehicles etc all the time and doesn't do anything.

I´m thankful for the hard Work on the Patches!

But i never understand why simple things like "streetlights" is not a Serveradmin choice, why always dicatete,determine?

I wonder why always make it unnecessary complicated. Let the Serveradmin take the choice of his payed server.

fixed female skin thing.. does that mean that females can now wear different outfits? like camo and ghille?

Lol I had a similar reaction but with cider!

Yea haha, I mean when I logged in I was like:

I couldn't think of anything else to do but toss a salute up! rofl. Could someone tell me if that was intended as an Easter Egg or just someone forgot to remove them? => http://imgur.com/a/utxZ4#0

EDIT: So I think it was just that one server, US 3752. Others don't seem to have them spawned in. Thank you Community Dev Team for the work you put into this game!

So when will I be able to switch between using my hatchet, my rifle or my pistol? I.e. when will the hatchet be open for use once I have a rifle?

Nice big sexist remark: they can now run around in bikinis to the male survivors' delight....

[SwissArmy (DayZ) 5]

Even if I asked for something else just earlier, a big thanks to the team for the work you did!

I don't understand why you removed the L85. It wasn't overpowered at all. The only reason people have AS50's, M107's, and L85's is because they hack. It took my squad days of flying in a Huey looking for crashed helis to find L85's and weeks to find 1 AS50. The problem was never the loot spawn or that they were in game. The problem was that hackers spawned a ton in. It makes me mad that the L85 was removed, because i know how much work goes into finding one.

[mdmonnik@deakin.edu.au 139]

wooo no more L85. But no heli crash sites? :o

The L85 is a HUGE HUGE impact becuase of its thermal vision. THat's it.

I think the Streets lights not working in certain places in a town or city as well as adding some lights that strobe from power problems would be more realistic in DayZ, not to mention it would be scary having strobes inside the factory structures and homes when Zed's are coming. :)

Great work guys!

OK, everyone asking "Why not leave it in and make it optional" is a BAD idea because if you for example choose to take out a weapon in your server because its "optional", hackers can just spawn the damm thing back in, SO if we choose to lock things down abit more and outright BAN things we dont want in the dayz_anim core file then hackers CANNOT spawn them back in because they are banned from the game and cannot be spawned in anyway shape or form. like in DayZ+ (im developer) i have BANNED every single thing that is not in DayZ+ at all so that way hackers cant just spawn in TWS's etc. which will greatly advance gameplay because hackers wont have the ability to spawn in a unbanned weapon and blow your brains out with them. as i seem to say alot "With Great Freedom, Comes Lots Of Hacks"

i rest my case.

Easy mode? The l85 was a terrible gun for anything related to PVP or CQB against zombies. The only reason people used it was as a overwatch weapon, and even then it was limited in its purpose. Hence the reason no one picked the thermals in vanilla or ACE.

Someone does not know how to pvp. Anyway im glad its gone and so its massive numbers in the community. Thermals on a direct fire weapon is not practical nor is it realistic. I like realism and I got my wish. Now if only we can do something about people running around with AS50s like marathon runners "cough cough" I would be even more happy. :)

[RooBurger 285]

If the L85 didn't have thermal vision I'd be quite happy to keep it.

I found a legit L85 on a chopper in a Lingor server, and that character has been alive for a month. Once I got used to it, I've found it to be a massive advantage. Especially with my friend who has an AS50 on the same server - an AS50 sniper and L85 spotter team is amazing. Don't tell me it isn't a massive advantage, that's bullshit. Either you're lying or you don't know how to use it.

I'd like to see it removed simply on the grounds that it doesn't exist in reality... or does it?

Regardless, AS50s and thermal vision should be so rare in reality that you'd never come across them anyway. Unless the map is set around a US or UK military base/camp

[vacalouca 86]

Next step remove Night Vision, lock gama and contrast, everyone use flares, chemy light and flashlight :lol:

[Bakst 98]

Zomg you removed the L85! How could you?!?!!!!1111

Zomg stfu the L85 is useless!

Zomg L85 is teh best spotter weapon evah boiii!

Streetlights?!? So UNREALISTIC!!!

But wait... generators! Power stations!

It's atmospheric... no, immersion killer... no, neither here nor there... no, a dead giveaway...

Where do I download this?

How do I install this?

It doesn't work this sux!

Great update but you didn't include my obscure suggestion from 3 months ago... community-driven my ass, Rocket iz a fascist!

I seem to have briefly gone the Way of the Troll... sorry folks, but that can happen to a man who has just read the whole thread from start to finish o.O

^sanity^

In any case, I applaud the devs for making some tough choices and giving the game a clear direction, rather than having a gazillion "options" open to everyone so we can all go back to the summer days of bitching about the vulnerability of ArmA's open engine... -_-

I'd also like to thank the community/devs for some of the more under-discussed changes:

* [NEW] You can no longer place tents in ponds.

For some folks, that's big news. Good idea for a camp spot, wasn't it?

* [NEW] Disabled radio messages to be heard and shown in the left lower corner of the screen.

Nothing big, but I've always wondered what that was about. Good riddance.

* [Fixed] Adding checks for female skin humanity/login.

* [Fixed] Adding female skin to variables.

Female charas finally on equal footing with their male counterparts? DayZ needs a Lily Ledbetter Act... ^^

* [Fixed] Fixed Parachute so jumping out of choppers won't kill you.

That's cool. Don't think I'll be testing the parachute jump anytime soon tho, at least not with my main chara ;)
