1st timer, asking for some advice/help

[murff 1]

Ok, so I jumped into a server on the advice of Sula (thanks :-P) Had a gun, started walking, all of a sudden got swarmed by zed's. Could not fire gun (guess you don't start with bullets?) Anyways it said i was dead, showed a list with other people in, I tried to respawn, and all that happened was the user list and me dieing, over and over, the list eventually showed I had died 6 times. Any advice/help would b appreciated.

You have to click abort once you have died which will bring you back to the server screen. From there just click ok again and you should load bcak into the world as a fresh spawn.

You need to escape > abort and then connect again from the playerlist screen.

Run away.

So the bullets do not come with a the gun? also there is no 'jump' key? just a vault?

Try pressing F a couple of times when you spawn till you see your Gunname Bullet count ect. Ive had this problema couple of times on private hives that give starter gear.

Nope, no jump key. This is supposed to be a realistic game. If you are wearing military gear, you can't just bunny hop all over.

Try to avoid zombies by being sneaking and not just running around.

Yeah, gun thing, press F to attempt to get it up on the to right of your screen, or move it into your backpack, drop it, or swap it with something else (dunno which gun it is so do what you can) and then re-equip it. Maybe they don't give you any bullets though. To check that, just see what's in your gear by pressing 'g'. And if you manage to get the gun to appear in the top right with 'f', it'll be green if you have ammo, red if you don't.

Yeah just press f to see if you have ammo,

I had the same problem with zeds, the solution is simple, they like sounds, so create it somewhere else, then navigate around

[murff 1]

Hmm ok, will try all that, thanks.

I did not want to bunny hop, just was trying to run away from the zed's and could not get on the hood of a car lol 'v' did not do it for me lol

May sound redundant but mostly overlooked.. Play Boot Camp from within Arma II AO, itself. All basic-commands (and there are a few :lol: ) are shown.

Just got that advice from daryll, since i have never used the arma 2 engine I am going to do that. thanks :)

from within arma2 or arma 2 OA?

[blunt_zephyr 51]

AO is Arma II with redone graphicswith a few-added missions. Go from AO
