Gruso (DayZ) 81 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) I posted this to /r/dayz last night, and I've had a fantastic response so far. Hopefully some folk here find it just as useful.Backstory: I've had the dayzdb.com map set as my Steam browser home page for a few months. It's been very handy, but there are a heap of other DayZ resources that are nice to have available too. Steam's lack of browser bookmarking makes life a little difficult, so I created my own little page of links. The result: www.dayzoverlay.comThe actual overlay page is here: http://www.dayzoverlay.com/mod/You can set it as your browser homepage via Steam menu -> Settings -> In Game tab.There are some Google text ads at the bottom, which I was encouraged to add. No fan of ads, me, but hopefully they'll cover hosting & Mountain Dew costs. I put the least intrusive ones in that I could.I will keep developing it, to cater to any different resources that arrive for the standalone, and perhaps even pages customised to some of the different communities out there. Taking suggestions and criticism of course!This is nothing without the hard work of the DayZ community, who have put so much effort into all these resources. A big thanks to all of you. Enjoy. :-) Edited January 11, 2013 by Gruso 20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xuse 92 Posted January 11, 2013 Not Bad. I might use steam to lauch DayZ for once :P 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rage VG 4033 Posted January 11, 2013 Unfortunately, the steam overlay NEVER works for me. For whatever reason, whilst scrolling, it'll randomly start opening and closing itself rapidly, before finally just closing until I open it again. It will keep randomly doing this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted January 11, 2013 Nice work and definitely good for the newbies :beans: As for running anything through steam for someone like myself :emptycan: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voddler (DayZ) 367 Posted January 11, 2013 Weird Rage, never heard of such problem during these days. Anyways, thanks for this, I usually start Arma 2 via Steam so this is just great for us steam launchers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Man 393 Posted January 11, 2013 Awesome! I never get the overlay to work but this is a nice quick reference page. Greatly appreciated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruso (DayZ) 81 Posted January 12, 2013 Thanks for the comments, all :) Minor tweaks today: Prettied up the thumbnails and page layout a little, and massaged the ammo chart so it's a bit friendlier to view in the Steam browser.Unfortunately, the steam overlay NEVER works for me. For whatever reason, whilst scrolling, it'll randomly start opening and closing itself rapidly, before finally just closing until I open it again. It will keep randomly doing this.Weird! Some reading seems to suggest (although it's pretty thin information) that Steam will close the overlay if it thinks there are stability issues with the game. Apparently it can do this if there are heavy CPU spikes. Does this happen in all games or just Arma/Dayz? How's the load on your CPU?Another long shot, make sure you're not opted in to Steam betas. This caused all sorts of nasty issues for me the other day (crash when joining chat room, etc). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rage VG 4033 Posted January 12, 2013 I'm not opted in for any betas, and it happens when I merely play Garry's Mod, in the main menu when browsing the workshop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruso (DayZ) 81 Posted August 5, 2013 *bump* I did some updates to DayZ Overlay on the weekend. There are now special overlays for DayZero and Origins. Hope these are of use to someone! I'm also looking for some advice. The ammo chart is out of date (albeit still useful) and I'd like to expand on the mildots link with a more comprehensive guide to ranging & sniping. Preferably in the form of nice tables/graphics that I could incorporate into a single quick-reference page. Will trade beans and non-creepy love for any suggestions.

p4triot 207 Posted August 6, 2013 Unfortunately, the steam overlay NEVER works for me. For whatever reason, whilst scrolling, it'll randomly start opening and closing itself rapidly, before finally just closing until I open it again. It will keep randomly doing this. Happens the same to me. I thinks it's due to the low fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruso (DayZ) 81 Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I've added a new quick reference guide to scoped rifles (and HE rounds B)). http://www.dayzoverlay.com/scopes/ Screenshot: I ended up throwing this together myself, based on a heap of guides done by others, along with some of my own testing. There always seems to be a bit of difference and debate around ready reckoners like this, so I've just had to go with the numbers I believe to be correct. It's already been added to the vanilla mod & dayzero overlays. [edit] Some corrections are required (thanks reddit). I'll do some updates on the weekend.

Gruso (DayZ) 81 Posted September 23, 2013 New page added for Epoch: http://www.dayzoverlay.com/epoch/ As always, you can fire requests at me. There are plenty of mods I haven't covered, so if I know there's demand for one, I will look into adding it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
