enable single player mode when launched with dayz mod

[pressytcn 5]

just like all other mods can play the campaign or single missions or use the editor etc

it would be nice if we were able to do all that without having to uncheck dayz everytime

and why is single player disabled in the first place

[DayZoey 110]

Yeah I don't suspect this will end well, I started a topic asking for something similar (PvE servers but basically you're asking for the same thing, an environment with zombies and no human players) and it went down in flames with more trolls than the moderators were willing to deal with attached.

Unless I'm missing my guess, this will probably head the same way, sorry chum.

[NoyZ (DayZ) 66]

It was taken out long ago because it is NOT what Rockets DayZ is about. DayZ without PvP is a PB&J sandwich without the PB&J.

I do have to agree with Zoey that this threads life will be short . . . . . most likely.

[pressytcn 5]

you all get me wrong i have the dayz sp

what i mean is when running any dayz mod i want to still be able to play the campaign or the single missions or just use the editor

to create missions

but when running the dayz mod all i can do is dayz why?

[boxman80 964]

I actually think some of us may be suprised come the release of Stand Alone and it's long term development. I think there's far too many people who would play PvE for them to be ignored and I wouldn't be suprised to see it some how addressed later down the line. Personally I love the PvP added to the mix but I do understand the appeal of PvE.

ok let me put this in a different way

when i launch the game with dayz mod enabled

i want to still be able to play the campaign like harvest red or any campaign i have without having to close the game and launch it again without dayz

[DayZoey 110]

Ahhhhh I misunderstood. I'm sorry, I'm willing to bet the reason is because the game is running from a mod data packet rather than the actual game's data packet. While using the game's engine it's using a seperate set of behaviours and triggers to run the mod. It does seem kinda mind boggling but game modding has always been a dark wizardry that is at best, finicky and prone to mood swings. You either need to keep a seperate shortcut for DayZ or you need to launch Arma 2 with steam (if you have it through steam that is).

Also, not really something for the suggestion boards in my opinion, might be better for the general or maybe even trouble shooting. Though the latter is for troubles you're having regarding the mod and running it.

You have to play the mod the way Rocket designed it. SP and missions are not supported; by his decision. I understand the SA may have missions. You'll have to wait for that. Not too long I hope. I do hope SP never happens. It's what makes DayZ, DayZ.

EDIT @Zoey Agreed This is the wrong section.

i dont have the steam version i use the arma x version so i use spirited machines mod launcher

so it's reletively easy it just anoys me that i have to restart the game

i do a little modding and mod porting myself so i know it's a dark world so i could probaly change the hpp code and make the campaigns work

the sp version of dayz had no effect on the campaigns the only thing it did was changing the pmc faction to survivor

@NoyZ

this is not the wrong section im not talking about playing dayz in sp mode i'm talking about playing arma 2 without having to restart and disable the mod

NoyZ, every time I read your posts, I hear the voice of Buffalo Bill from The Silence of the Lambs. "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again..."

I'm making you my personal project. To study. To observe. To prod. To write about in science magazines.

I need to ask one question: By what authority do you claim to dictate to others how they should experience DayZ?

Did the cool kids give you a wedgie at school, and now you just hate humankind? I'm right, aren't I?

Hey Zoey! I'm still up. These forums kill me!

[aksuduud 64]

I dont see any reason why you couldnt, looking at the dayz addons i cant see anything that would overwrite the normal addons, i believe the block is there just so people dont think they can actually play DayZ in singleplayer.

LOL are you butthurt too? Please quote me where I'm "dictating" how others should play. I say play the way Rocket set the game forth is all. If those factors change with the SA then we ALL will play within those bounds. Understand? If it moves too far from what it is now i may have to check WarZ out and see if they have the balls to keep the 'Zombie Apocalypse' feeling alive.

If you ever have the quality to make it on our TeamSpeak, you'd realize how completely absurd your 'hate humanity' comment is.

I assume the cool kids gave you wedgies. I get the feeling your projecting your life into mine. Try to get some valid points before posting at me again please.

@OP you are asking how something works/doesnt work. It is not a suggestion and should be in technical help or something.

@aksuduud Rocket blocked it and doesn't want the SP being accessed. It would be the same as stopping PvP which he does not want.

You cannot run the mod as single player simply because the Zombie models don't work without other players.....

Yes the option might be there but it ISN'T a working option.....

May i also add that everyone stays on topic, i don't want to see personal arguments being played out, Got nothing nice to say to each other?? Then Say NOTHING... Sick of picking up threads like this because of reports and not the actual post content.

This is your one and only Warning!

Time: 2:53am. Subject is grey and flaccid. Unresponsive to medical stimuli.

It murmured in non-english. Intentions unclear.

I say, Jeeves, London will pay handsomely for a specimen such as this.

Actually, I dare say we would cooperate just fine in a DayZ game. I'm an awesome headshot player. Roughly 90% headshot stat before the debug monitor disappeared.

I am however, wary of players who speak on behalf of the devs, who have no affiliation with them, and claim that others are "doing it wrong".

I understand that some people abhor change. And that fear sometimes is translated into forum comments about how the game should be, but for the love of all that is holy, or unholy, I just wish people would stop enforcing their "this game is stressful, therefore everyone should be stressed out" idealism on other players. Yes, we know the game is meant to be hard. It's designed to frustrate. People seem to forget though, that this is the DayZ Suggestions forum. You may not like it, but hey, not everyone likes suggestions. Just deal with it without getting all Nazi on folks.

My work here is done.

[aksuduud 64]

I just tried to play a single mission, first i got a save game incompatibility, i chose to restart the mission and it got stuck on loading screen. I try a second mission and i spawn as a static camera somewhere, i get the message that a village was captured and it ends in failure.

So its disabled because it doesnt work.

[pressytcn 5]

for the last time

I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT RUNNING THE MOD AS SINGLE PLAYER

i am talking about the single player part of arma 2 when the game is launched with the mith the mod enabled

i wanna kill talibans after im done with killing zombies witout having to restart the game

[aksuduud 64]

Read my post, the reason is horrible compatibility errors/conflicts or something, it just doesnt work correctly.

[rooneye 135]

lol at the people STILL thinking the OP wants to play DayZ single player, even though he's made 3 further posts to clarify an already obvious first post. :D

But yeah, the last patch the single player was enabled, but nothing worked :( Then it was taken out again in the latest patch.

EDIT: FOUR posts now :D

that never happend to me back when it was cba dependent

i do know that some mods can do that where your player is stuck in the ground but that is often a proxie error with the actual model itself

i just don't get why other mods does this just fine but dayz can't

[NoyZ (DayZ) 66]

Let's make this simple. Just restart the game. There has been no info on how to do it otherwise. Is your comp super slow and it's that big of a problem? Do switch back and forth constantly?

Part of the problem with the responses is the title and location. This would have went better if those two were done correctly.

[Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521]

Sorry OP for the mis-read.. only way i can play ARMA straight after DayZ is if i restart the application.

[pressytcn 5]

i don't see the problem in the location i requested the single player part of arma 2 to work now reading that it has been tryied again and nothing worked i'll asume that they are still trying to find a solution for it and making it work

noyz what does the title say i think the title is very clear if i wanted dayz sp i would have typed dayz sp

[pressytcn 5]

well you can run the editor by pressing alt+e at the main screen that brings up the 3d editor wich if your new to the game unusable that part is for me no problem but for others i will be let's just bury this thread and hope in the near future a fix for this is comming i would love to make costum missions with dayz and other cool mods
