Hotfix Build 1.7.1.2 Rolling Update

[RachetSmurf 2]

Another terrible update where cons outweight the pros.

The night is darker than usual and zeds are still spawning altogether inside buildings.

I think you're the first person in this thread to call it terrible. Also.. it's Alpha (yup, said it again). If you didn't find problems.. then it wouldn't be an Alpha would it?

Go post bugs in the bug forum.. complaining about gameplay because you're playing it like it's an end product is pointless.

Well if it isn't Mr Constructive... Look man - the game is likely to get even more hardcore before he's done so maybe look elsewhere, or rephrase in a useful fashion.

"[NEW'] Tone Mapping to enhance nightlighting conditions."

So after trying out the 1.7.1.2 it seems it's possible to turn a nearly pitch black night into a black & white with nearly as good visibility as if it was daytime. Is there no way to fix this? Are there only these two choises, either pitch black or suffer the gammawarriors? This only benefits the cheaters so, in my opinion it should be an even ground for everyone. That is if upping gamma/brightness to 1.5/2.0 is concidered as a cheat ofcourse. It is the gamma that gives you the greater advantage over default 1.0 setting, brightness atleast at my end has very little effect on how well one can see, tried it from 0.1 all the way to 2.0.

It looks like you're not launching the beta, and somehow getting into a server that's not forcing the beta client.

* [NEW] Melee Weapon introduced: Hatchet (can only drop through right click in gear menu)

* [NEW] Melee Weapon introduced: Crowbar (can only drop through right click in gear menu)

Yes! New melee weapons!

[Roshi (DayZ) 397]

You can use a hatchet for woodcutting like before' date=' rightclick near a tree in the forest.

Roshi, what you picked up was called hatchet, isn't actually a bunch of hatchets though, but the ammo for hatchets, which doesn't take up inventory space. "Legit" hatchets STILL LOOK LIKE HATCHETS. They go in the primary slot now (where your rifle goes). So that makes things awkward to a degree. You switch to them as if they were a rifle or whatever. They have a million shots iirc.

Great, thanks for the input :)

Roshi, stop the bickering. Let him say his piece if he has to. The spawning thing is actually a legitimate bug.

There comes the army of fanboys bashing whoever criticises the mod.

Am i the first one to complain about it?. Wow, now thats just great. :sleepy:

Just because i disagree with some of you it doesn't mean you have to insult my intelligence or denigrate my post. :rolleyes:

Actually i am running the latest beta. It's the new Tone mapping that makes it possible to up the gamma again.

What will happen when I login if I had hatchet in equipment slot before update?

I dont want to get bugged or stuff and lose all my items...

How im going to gather wood without the hatchet??????????????????????????

Bug: Hatchets spawning as ammo in groups of 15 to 20.

Bug? Hatchet hitting a zombie destroyed the wall of the building I was in.

Odd, I tried to mess with the gamma on a night-time server with 1.7.1.2 and it had little effect as before.

I'm also a bit unsure as to how the mod would affect that if it's something that's supposed to be coded into the beta patch itself.

No, with respect, it's just the manner in which you posted - i read your post and see nothing but complaining - if you're that anti how this is going, then you're unlikely to be satisfied by the end product. If you had said something constructive and potentially useful then that would have been great. And if being a fanboy means taking issue with your kind of post - well fine, then I'm a fanboy. I just really enjoy the mod and the gritty direction it's going. I just don't see what you want to achieve with your post.

Right said my bit, won't waste anymore space in the thread.

Melee weapons op?

They one shot another player...

You just lose the hatchet you had in your inventory.

Source: I tested it.

[Latros 1]

Hatchets are making me feel like Barry Bonds on the juice... Im knocking Zs over buildings lol... Ive also seen the melee weapons spawning as ammo and duplicating when you loot/pick something up they multiply on the ground...

Servers are all failing right now havent seen a single one stay up more then 15minutes...

This is exactly what i would like to hear from Rocket himself, his stand on the whole "gammawarrior" issue, and should the nights be dark or just greyish as we all know there are great amount of players trying to find even the smallest advantage over another.

[vv211 3]

Cows also go flying when you hack them in the face. Which makes me think of Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

lol. great movie.

as for me, i'm still on 1.7.0. i usually see what people are saying about the updates before i decide to try them, or so i know what to watch out for. wasted a good couple hours in 1.7.1.1 looking for loot that doesnt spawn :P

i also made a new folder on my desktop with backups from 1.7 and 1.7.1.1 so i can always switch back if i feel the need

[kraaze 1]

Well done. I would love to see some helicopter fixes so those can be introduced again, it makes the game that much more fun.

[RedAxiom 0]

I like the crazy flying with the hatchet. It's a little silly but REALLY fun.

[joulesbeef 4]

getting plagued by "no message from server" on every server i go on. I can play 30 second to about 2 minutes max. Anyone else?

edit: my server problem seems to have cleared up on reboot. Or at least I played nearly 10 minutes this time...before zeds. Which is far better than my last 5-6 times.. so i think this is just a personal issue.

[FUBAR1945 2]

helicopters and vehicles are in this version?

[foliveira1982@gmail.com 14]

Im going to ask again, how i am going to harvest wood now?

server owners still looking for the files please
