Different terrains :(

[Tilaron 3]

Hello there, been playing dayz on and off for a while now and while Chernarus is fun, I want to try out some of the different maps available.

I have the steam version of Arma, running the 103718 beta patch. I installed a number of the maps using DayZ Commander and then found servers for them, but DayZ Commander hates me and only loads up DayZ once, but any attempt to join a server using it afterwards means it just loads up OA and does nothing. When I find servers using the in-game browser (and they don't vanish when I click on them) they all usually say the same thing about content that has been deleted, with lists of various things after that. I managed to connect and stay connected to a server running Utes, but after loading the mission file it then just said "Receiving data" for about 10 minutes.

Do I need the DLC to play these maps, or is there some long-winded manaul install I can do that actually lets me try these different maps?

:(

DayZCommander should work, check your steam options are ticked and it's detected the correct directories under settings.

Bah! Not only does DayZCommander like removing itself from steam, but it likes resetting itself. Now it works, but i've started getting a 'No entry' error on a .cfg file D:

Assuming it's your ArmA2OA profile .cfg, delete it and it should create a new one when you start the game. You will have to set any custom binds again though if you changed them from default.

DayZ Mod + Other mods

.:: DayZ Mod Install ::.

DayZ Mod - Download latest from http://dayzmod.com/

Install extract and install into Operations Arrowhead Directory with the name of @DayZ

____________________________________________________________________

Create a shortcut:

Right click desktop or folder location of your choice.

Replace "yourlocation" with your game location =)

Start In:C:\yourlocation\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead

Target:"C:\yourlocation\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead\Expansion\beta\arma2oa.exe" "-mod=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion;@DayZ;" "-name=Fully" -nosplash -emptyworld

A break down of the above target line.

First part in the "" is to the executable location.

Second part in the "" is were the mods are located that you want to launch.

The mods that we want to launch to run DayZ are, Expansion, beta and DayZ mods, with the correct location from the Operation Arrowhead root directory.

Third part in the "" is the profile I want to start the game/mods with.

-nosplash = No game intro movie.

-emptyworld - Empty World, Just sky and sea :P

Other useful information.

Say you want to play Day lingor, Just change the @DayZ in the target line to @DayZ_Lingor. If you want to play with more than one mod just separate with ; after each mod.

More here that might help you bro =)
