Dayz Roleplaying server

[transnapastain 0]

Greetings,

 

I am in possession of a server hosted by Vilayer and am very interested in getting a DayZ RP community together. I know similar things have been done with the DayZRP mod, and I'd like to do something akin to that, only US based.

 

I have the server set up, what I need is the following:

 

 - Interested players, obviously an interest in RPing and not simple death matching and killing on sight would be beneficial. 

 - Players or user familiar with the modification of the server files using Vilayer's ACP. I'm very new to this, I've got an idea, but I need help with the technical side of it. I would like to have custom weapons, like those found in Breaking Point, as well as buildings and other options. Other RP like options, such as those in DayZRP and possibly Epoch/Civilian would be useful as well. Of course, I'm not suggesting stealing said materials if they aren't for use by others. 

 

Or, if anyone knows how to run a Breaking Point private hive through Vilayer, I'd appreciate that advice. I have the server files, but no idea what to do with them! 

 

I have TS and Skype, simply reply here if you're interested. Thank you!

Not to rain on your parade, but running a RP server is going to be a bitch.

 

What I got from your post is you want to run a breaking point server, but with Roleplaying. I don't know how well that would work. I think your best bet would be to add in cutom weapons and scripts, instead of using a completely different mod.

 

Also, running a RP server would most likely require custom locations on the map (e.g. trading posts, bases, etc).

 

 

All in all, running a RP server is going to be a royal pain the ass. If you manage to get a large playerbase, you're going to need a website/forums, and a strong admin team to admin the forums/server around the clock.

 

Not trying to crush your dreams, but running any popular server is a pain in the ass, but running a server where you have to enforce rules (i.e. RP, safe zones, etc) it going to be even harder.

 

Also, if you do manage to get this working, and get a playerbase, I strongly recommend whitelisting. If you don't have this, your server is going to be filled with people coming in, fail RPing, and ruining the experience for everyone.

 

 

Good luck,

I appreciate your input, all of those things are, inevitably true and a few of them I had not considered! 

 

You're probably right about running a custom map vs an existing mod, and my post was a bit discombobulated due to me writing it while I was a little tired, so it didn't make as much sense as it could have, sorry about that. 

 

I suppose my first task would be to figure out how to input custom weapons, locations and such using Vilayer's interface, personally, I'd be fine with never developing a large player base, but running it for myself and friends, but regardless, adding in custom bits tot he map and loot tables is going to be essential. 

 

Thanks again!
