deadman_with_hat 5 Posted March 1, 2013 "i hope that this message reaches those how are woking on the standalone"hi my name is aaron, (sry for my englisch im german)ive been working on this idea for the standalone for some time.its soposed to balance the "go and kill every body" and "leave to survive".THE IDEAhow to create you own homethe player will need to start with something. my idea to that is the electo generator.after a player has found a place, place the generator. by crolling, one of the options is: [build house]now the analog part: its like pitching a tent or reparing a car wheel.now 3-4 boxes drop next to the generator. they have no use.the home will require: 15 crap metal, 10 windscreen glas, 50 wood pile, 3 car wheels, 1 engine part. (this is just an idea, you can make u your own list)and to bring it on you will need a toolboxstep by step u go alonge to find those thinge and every time u have found some thing what it requires, the player goes to the generator and klick on: [missing house part] or [add house part].after all parts have been added, then the house actually apiers.now you own a house. you are the only one how can enter it. but ther is a pinnboard or some thing whats makes u able to invite other players.after that. those are now member of this (my idea was a wooden) house. they even have the option to go in the garden [type 1] and habe some bbq on the grill [5 wood, 1 scrap metal]more informationthis house can get 3 sizes: small, middle, big. player have to finde another generator. they go in ther house to the generator and klick on: [add generator]then again to the generator, klick: [add house part middle]middle house requires: + 4 glas, + 8 scrap metal, + 20 wood, + 1 generator.you can now build a garage [type1] able to put in 4 cars. requires: 1 scrape metal, 10 wood.and you can change your garden into [type 2]big house requires: + 1 glas, + 10 scrape metal, + 15 wood, + 1 generator.you can now change the garage [type 2] able to put in 8 cars. repuires same as [type 1]and you can change your garden into [type 3](my idea of adding a farm was silly. but something so you dont have to run down town for food an water, respectally for an entire group of player)inventorysmall house:*4 boxes unlimited space (to sort food from weapons)*workbench (crafting) (and/or to add the house parts (like a house menü)*nice garden [type 1]middle house:*6 boxes unlimited space*workbench*very nice garden [type 2]*garage [type 1]big house*8 boxes unlimited space*workbench*beautiful garden [type 3]*garage [type 2]please please plsease add more inventory to make it nicemore to addhouse door option [get in as member].member of the same group can have training (friendly fire) (message: you win and you lose) .change clothes to identify, example: smily on the hat or pink jeans.make hard to build house, example: hard to find generator, lots of parts needed.house option: [hide house] (kost: 4 gullisuits) makes it less visiblemore trees in the forests to hide better.dig out tree. options: [chop tree (5 wood)] or [move tree] plant somewere elsehouse member: distroy house: disabledhouse member: enter house: enablednone house member: distroy house: enablednone house member: enter house: disablednone house member steal/use cars: enabedfirestation: weapons: disabledfirestation: secure vest: enabledsuper market: weapons: disabledsuper market: GPS : enabledmilitary weapons disabled, example: m107, as50, g17... things u actually dont find, and are to over powered (my friends will hate me for this idea, i hate my self too).enable lights in the bigger city at night. some are flashing.give self blood as in dayz+.rebuild cars as in dayz+, with things at the side.(i dont like this) disable helicopter or the abillity to see house, tents.. make it fairad money. spend on npc to buy thingsand thats it, this is my idea.if u like it u can have it.id loved to see the first testings in a new mod in the alpha.best wishes and good look too the team of the standaloneby the way: könnte ich bitte ihre bohnen haben?

willey.erd@oundleschool.org.uk 506 Posted March 1, 2013 I'm sorry, but I don't want there to be any way to lock anything up. So, everyone should be able to get into your 'house', and also just thinking about it it should be more like a hovel than an actual home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Testwd3r235 2810 Posted March 1, 2013 I don't know, building a house can take over a week IRL and the point of DayZ is realism so an invisible wall won't work on not letting anyone else in but a key could work on a pre-built house that you found in Elektro for example.Changeable clothes has been confirmed already.I doubt slinging 4 ghillies on the roof of the house will "hide" it.How would you move a tree but I like the idea of using a hatchet to chop it down.Already a huge thread about the military weapons.NPC's have been brought up and discarded many times.Some of these ideas could be good if they are worked on a bit more like chopping trees with a hatchet and crafting but you should search first, also remember the point is realism.

deadman_with_hat 5 Posted March 1, 2013 by the way its suposed to take a long time to build it. thats what i meent with "balance"make hard to build house, example: hard to find generator, lots of parts needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

okami (DayZ) 129 Posted March 1, 2013 Does anyone remember what happened when players could place wire fences? You could not enter a single church or firestation for weeks. Imagine what these trolls would do with houses. I dont see any advantage to the underground base concept from rocket... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe a crafting system to tie together 20 ghillies that could be thrown over a car would work but 4 ghillies may cover a window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joe_mcentire 2074 Posted March 1, 2013 thx^^question: when about 1000 player put ther suggestions in this forum. do they actually all get recognised?ive read lots of briliant ideas.hardly...problem is that sometimes many new threads are created although their topics were already thematized over and over and some new and nice threads get lost in the shuffle..

thesodesa 99 Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) thx^^question: when about 1000 player put ther suggestions in this forum. do they actually all get recognised?ive read lots of briliant ideas.If you have lots of great ideas it might help to actually include a descriptive thread title. For example right now the person who clicks on this thread has no idea what the thread is going to contain, except that it's going to be a suggestion for the standalone.What you should have written is something like; "Player home suggestion for Dayz standalone" or something like that. Vague titles will not help you in getting your ideas recognized because if the title is vague, I don't really want to waste my time having to read it in it's entirety to get an idea of what is being discussed.
