Will you guys be interested in a dayz server with ACRE?

[omerdn1 7]

Well hello guys. I always wanted to make the dayz experience more realistic and fun.

 

I've made a little mod a while back ago called Dayz Nexus, here's a link to an old thread:

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/126448-dayz-nexus-1761-200-vehicles-acre-jsrs-smk-animations-dogs-ai-base-building-new-skins-custom-loot-scripts-hacker-free/#entry1215844

 

 

Basically the mod adds ACRE - which is a radio mod, so people can communicate with radios using TS. The ACRE mod makes a more immersive environment.

In this mod everyone who joined the server had to join the TS server and when they were in game it moved them to the ACRE channel.

There are different kinds of radios, each one can reach a certain amount of kilometers.

 

I also used shacktack's volume control addon that lets you set the loudness of your voice through the acre radio.

 

I think ACRE adds alot to the game experience and I find it very weird that servers don't use it.

 

So tell me, will you guys be interested in a dayz server with acre implemented in it or maybe in a "realistic" dayz modification? Although my last project didn't go very well I still wanted to give it a shot.

I am in a ACE/ACRE community, I have discussed this with a few of our members. Would the radio's spawn in everywhere? or 343, 148 and 117F spawn in military locations? Also it would be pointless to add this if not everyone was going to get in TS and use it. One more thing, maybe the radios are broken when you find them? If you could make it so you have to find some batteries/something to fix it up with I think this could be a cool Idea. Although the 117F's should not be in the game. only the 343 which have a range of like 500 meters and the 148's which have a LARGE transmission range.

 

Edit- If you were to add in the 117F's then players can talk to each other pretty much like they were on Global because the 117F reaches 20k out im pretty sure.

Ok, first of all I've made an API script that forces all players on the server to join the TS server and have ACRE installed, else they'll get kicked.

 

about the radios, I was thinking maybe you start with a 343, and then you will be able to find better radios on crash sites maybe with a low chance to spawn.

the 117F is very OP so I don't really know about it right now. I personally HATE the global channel, and think it doesn't fit the dayz experience.

 

About radios breaking, that's a pretty good idea. I can add durability to the radios, so they will break eventually and then you will have to find other radios or maybe fix it with batteries as you said.

 

 

I also had a group system on my last project, and I can make a system that can add a private channel to each group.

"Ok, first of all I've made an API script that forces all players on the server to join the TS server and have ACRE installed, else they'll get kicked."

That is awesome.

 

"I was thinking maybe you start with a 343"

Ehh, I dont like this idea. Maybe they could be a really common spawn in Fire stations or houses?

 

"I can add durability to the radios, so they will break eventually and then you will have to find other radios or maybe fix it with batteries as you said."

This sounds like a good idea, the durability sounds good. Also the batteries sound great. Maybe the batteries have durability, you have to change the batteries every so often?

 

"I also had a group system on my last project, and I can make a system that can add a private channel to each group."

Well, I mean this kinda sucks. If you think about it 343 is very common and just for small chat, it has 15 channels and if you want to talk to someone find a channel and tell him that channel. The 148 has like.. 100 channels? So clans could pick a random channel and chat, That would prove pretty neat because sneaky little bandits can sneak on the channel and know whats going on. I just dont think there should be channels that normal people cant hop on you know?

 

If this was the case I would have my entire group play this server.

Yeah, as I said, it still needs a lot of thinking to it. Added you on skype.

Bump, wanna hear more ideas.

Bump.

Just finished implementing ACRE and radios to dayz, if someone wants to help testing feel free to PM.

I think it would be great to have as hardcore a DayZ experiance as possible. Harder zombies, Radios and actual fear. It's been a long time since I've played DayZ and had that immersion that makes me feel like it's the apocalypse. It's annoying that one side of the community wants KOS all the time, and the other wants no KOS. But neither of those are realistic experiences. I would be very interested in this though, as long as it didn't have strict rules that makes the game start getting stupid.
