Character skin

[azurewinter 0]

What happened to being able to choose the female character?

I died recently and upon respawning I automatically spawned as a male character. I died on purpose a couple of times, even completely exiting the game and rejoining another server and have not been presented with the option to pick my skin. I saw the screen flash for a second on one server I joined, but it wasn't long enough to choose.

 

I prefer playing as the female character, also the male characters low-res vest bugs me.

Are these bugs, what is going on?

As far as I'm aware the genderselection was taken out, because there are no female skins like for the ghillisuit anyway.

 

And with Patch 1.8 we have spawnpointselection and you can only have either spawnpointselection or genderselection anyway. That's why it was disabled - to make space for the spawnselection.

This makes me sad :(

 

I would much rather be able to play the character I want, than to be able to select spawn location.

Wasn't the fun figuring out where the heck you are before?

I agree, but the fact that you couldn't use camo clothing or ghillie suits as a female character was illogical and annoying. It makes sense that it was taken out.

 

You'll be able to play as a female character with all clothing options etc. being available to you in the standalone though... :)

How hard was it to figure out where you are?

Why does it matter, though?

Oh God.... That Means I'm stuck as a woman, right?

When your character currently has a femaleskin, yes. But that would be like that - no matter if there's genderselection or not.

 

However - if you die you will be stuck with a male skin, as you can't select anything else.

i dont care for gender selection until hotpants are implemented.... :ph34r:

Really? I got gender selection like...2 days ago i think last?

i think this can happen if the server has spawn selection unabled. a lot of servers didn't have gender selection because they created conflicts with added scripts i read somewhere.

On actual DayZ on publichive / with no addons?

Gender select should be working for public hive servers. Most private hive servers dont have it because it conflicts with custom loadout scripts.

This is incorrect both the spawn system and gender is working we have a known issue with slower pcs not loading everything correct this has been fixed in the next update.

That's good to know. :)

It didn't really bother me. I remember I've came across 2 ghillie suits in the time I have played, and I ran around with them in my inventory for so long until I just dropped them off for necessary stuff lol. My idea was to use them for trade.

I really like playing the mod, especially since a lot of the problems I've had with hyper-omniscient zombies have been fixed in the latest patch. But I'd prefer to play as a woman.

If I truly am forced to play as a male - how do I fix the awful clothing textures they have?

I was usually too busy looking around and gauging my surroundings to notice the text scrolling at the side.

It is? I hope it's fixed. I don't exactly have a slow pc, but I've always found the mod to be slower to load than most things.

You have terrible vest texture because you dont have Private military company DLC.

I have the GOG.com version of the ARMA II. Where can I get this DLC from so it will work with my copy, and then how do I get it working with DayZ?

How did you get it back?

You wont have to worry about it working in dayz, once installed itl just work ;). I couldnt find any of the DLC on that GOG.com site. Maybe a retail copy of DLC would work. If all else fails consult google ;)
