Help making a dayz server I enjoy, and adding my favorite things.

[dashx73 (DayZ) 168]

I just finished my first week of playing dayz, i had never played before and I spent the entire week joining and playing on several of the numerous offical and unoffical servers familiarizing myself with the game and what goes on, I have become completely dissatisfied, with my experience thus far.I found it hard to find a server I enjoyed because of things like The admin abuse, game mechanics ruined by custom anti hacking measures or by hacking, admin scripting, custom loadouts, server custom map changes, admin revealing my location to their friends via admin map, admin spawning in items for themselves or friends, and futher igornace of the obnoxiousness of batteye spamming the side-chat and ruining my dayz experience, and

I have come up with a solution: to Create a server that I always wanted to play on.

Let me describe it.

First I would put the player population to 100

No custom server banner, just simply the black dayz logo

custom join screen, (does not show lobby, simply joins game, and spawns in player,) black out the lobby information, bluefor information, and everything in the lobby in general,

new players would spawn in a randomly chosen location in air and parachute in.

server name would just be DAYZ

I would use a program to automatically admin the server. something like TSW anti hack tool.

disable battleye no cd key required

all global and side chat would be disabled,

direct chat only, voice or type,

custom chat featured and added radio object that would allow player to tune to a frequency and voice or text to players on that frequency.

no kicking or banning players - other measures would be taken, to get to the problem

script scan tool would disable scripts or injectors instead of ban or kick player, it would just simply disable whatever they are trying to add in, or spawn in, or teleport,

guns that are not allowed would simply be removed from inventory or world (helicopter crashes) upon spawn.

world would be recustomized to allow every building enterable or adding items that spawn all over map.

loot spawns would be realistic, to location and realsiticly placed,

vehicles could have parts removed, or added via toolbox

vehicles can be auto refuled at either the gas pump, fuel dump, fuel station, farm gas,

auto refuel works by mouse wheel vehicle to [re-fuel] when next to one of the above,

zombies animation slowed down, zombies do not run past players and then stop and turn around to attack player, zombies no longer flail around, quickly moving around between crouch and stand, or crawl or stand, or even just make one zombie animation for only standing, slow walking, zombies that easily detect player and slowly start to gather towards players, and move in Hordes, zombies requiring headshots for single bullet kill or killed by shooting numerous times

zombie damage to players rarely causes bleeding, or knock outs, unless player is sick, or very hurt,

backpack and inventory increased, to allow multiple primary weapons max of 2, One inventory, backpacks simply add slots to primary inventory, no longer put items in backpack or on person, simply just have an general inventory count that can be removed or added to, all items take one inventory slot, this will prevent items from being destoryed when added to inventory, inventory can be accessed by other players, just like backpack could have been before

players would never be kicked or banned, other measures would be taken

hackers teleporting would result in player death, or simply disabled teleport via script

the only text that would display in sidechat is, [player has died]

zombie animations slowed down

The hud would contain only the generic functions, will not display server [insert]

towing enabled but improved

part smelting enabled,

more vehicle types added,

world improved to create more realistic world and loot spawn locations,

world time would be 4 day night cycles within the amount of time of one real world day..

weather would be variable

I wanted to create a server that would implement all of my favorite functions I have come across playing the different modifications of dayz. I am here looking for help to either have someone convert there server over to this style, or help me create one from scratch, experience with scripting to add in some of these features, and modify files to all the functionality. To create a better dayz..and dayz experience.

What do you think it is? Christmas? Many things you're asking for aren't even made yet.

[dashx73 (DayZ) 168]

disable battleye no cd key required

Not a fan of this

[Swordsworn 52]

well go on build it, let me know when (if) youre finished and let me download it, I think the whole dev team would celebrate you if you are able to do everything you mentioned here ;-)

Seriously buddy, you wont get even 50% of what you listed up there ^^

Provided you have available a server on which to modify code and test it ...

1. For zombie speed: you must override the zombie_agent.fsm server side.

2. To fool with zombie animations, you'd need to essentially create your own mod.

3. Headshot only zombies: http://opendayz.net/...675/#post-38082

4. Zombie senses modification: start your search in player_zombieCheck.sqf

5. Zombie damage dealt: player_zombieAttack.sqf

6. Register at opendayz.net, use the search function and be prepared to do a lot of reading.

7. Everything else ... Battleye should be enabled at all times unless your server is only for testing these rather grand ideas of yours.
