Pending Update: Build 1.7.2

[Testificate 7]

Hopefully they just make this closed alpha/ beta. whatever it is. only let like 100 people play dayz.

then just release the standalone later. IMO that is worth it

Rocket said, that this big scale tests are helping him to find the bugs.

Adding to vehicle discussion, there should be a coordinates limit where if the owner of the vehicle logs off and the vehicle is out of bounds of the coordinates surrounding chernaurus, the vehicle will reset. else save vehicle location.

Bodies do NOT dissapear that fast - the day before yesterday our group killed 3 bandits and they all stood there for over 10 minutes' date=' one of our team died and managed to come back to his body and "loot himself" again, from Cherno to Stary Sobor. What might happens is the following: The bodies are being counted as normal loot, and they are being cleaned up altogether with the server clean.

Example: if a server clean up is from 15 to 15 minutes, and you kill someone on the minute 14, you may only have 1 minute to loot it. If that's the case, there must be a different clean-up for itens and for bodies.

Regarding vehicles: I found a Van in the woods, but I can't seem to find any other vehicle. Choppers appear to be moved miles away from the map's limit.

It was YOU who stole our van!! :)

I haven't seen corpses suddenly disappear right after killing someone (except in a Youtube video once) but there are enough people reporting the problem that I'm sure it must happen sometimes. It may be related to the victim immediately disconnecting after dying.

Oh, and I thought the out of map stashing of tents and vehicles was fixed during the tent wipe.

About the corpses, I think it is because of DC'ing. One time in Rog Castle, I check that I'm alone then loot the keep. I hear nothing, no gunshot, no anything while in there. When I come out, there's the sound of flies + a backpack right outside, but no corpse. Very strange. I think it was someone who wussed out on another server, then came to die on mine.

Could you add a way to put ATVs upright other than restarting the server? Right now they flip far too easily for no reason :/

Just so i know in advance. When a new update is released how do i update to it. Do i just download it and place the new files in the 'Addons' folder overwriting the old ones?

How do i tell what version of Dayz i am running right now?

check out the update tool over at worrom.com, it downloads all the latest files from a mirror and extracts them to the correct folder for you. i'm not sure how to check your current version though.

also, check out this thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=11995 bookmark it if you need to

So apparently the people I stole the car from were server admins, because now the server has been reset and my car was gone. I guess it's possible that someone else found where I stashed it, but it was pretty out of the way and there was a warning about clearing out tents due to server reset or whatever, so I feel like they did it to get the car back..

Too bad too, I was planning a nice road-trip through all the major cities at full speed for today.. ah well, next time. :p

Well personally i always remove the older files and move the new files over to the "addons" folder, Just to make sure of a clean install.

As for knowing what version of days you are running .... I'm not too sure, I just know im running DayZ v1.7.1.5 because i remember downloading in & that's what servers versions i always join, I'm also running ARMA II beta patch v94364, This you can see when you first start the game in the bottom right.

i can't wait till crappy server admins like that are shunned and player starved...

[thoxon 26]

Rocket is pretty silent on the boards when he's busy working on the latest build. So i take his silence as a sign that he's hard at work.

I just had a look and noticed on one of the WinRar files it holds the version number 'dayz_code_v[version number]'

@ Makarov mag conversion into pp 19 mags : The game says for the pp-19 sd that it has the same ammunition as the makarov has. That's why I wanted that conversion.

The pp-19 is capable to fire those rounds IRL.

I thought the suppressor was responsible for the noise reduction, not the bullets.

Guns with supressors usually roll with sd / subsonic ammo, makes silencers live longer and reduces the signature.

[attorney1977 311]

suppressor silences the noise of the gasses escaping the barrel.

Bullets are subsonic so there is no supersonic snap as they fly through the air.

That's layman terms by the way. It's probably a bit more complicated than that.

that is the difference. however, either round can be fired from either weapon. not the best thing to do, but better then 0 ammo.

Rocket said the update would be released last Monday, it's Friday and rocket has been quiet for a while...

Is there a problem with the update or are we going to have a surprise?

[herd 69]

Adding to vehicle discussion' date=' there should be a coordinates limit where if the owner of the vehicle logs off and the vehicle is out of bounds of the coordinates surrounding chernaurus, the vehicle will reset. else save vehicle location.

[/quote']

+100. Those cocky cheater clan own ALL the vehicles parking them off the map.....

+ also increase spawn points for vehicles AND the spawn time.

I read vehicles spawn every 7 days right ?

[Womb Raider 92]

Looking forward to the update, hopefully it will come out soon.

What I'm looking forward to in the near future, is a fix for zombies coming through walls and attacking me and people fortifying places in Cherno, with ridiculous fortifications that are impossible to get around.

If I remember correctly, if the vehicle has been inactive for 7 days, it will reset. If not, then well...it stays off bounds. 7 Days is more than enough time for people hoarding vehicles off map to save location, even IF they die.
