Pending Update: Build 1.7.2

[emilgebl 5]

When do you think we'll get the update? we all have been waiting for a while and I couldn't get to the party a few days ago.

[Sarissofoi 40]

Any chance that we get some more variety in weapons and skins?

And more zombies in cities?

Also (the most important) any chance to address DC from the danger problem?

Player ID int to string? Does that mean characters will be bound to profile name? That we may have multiple character capability per GUID?

Oh please :)

No.

Arrowhead and ArmaX owners could have the same playerID before. Because DayZ uses playerID to identify you that would lead to them sharing same character. This was fixed in recent beta patch by adding letters to all ArmaX users playerIDs. DayZ doesn't know how to handle letters (because int means integer which obviously has only numbers and not letters). Changing that int to string type will allow it to handle the letters in ArmaX users playerIDs and let them play again.

Oh yes please hurry up with the ID to string story. Would be nice to play on my usual server again, which wasn't possible for the last weeks.

you need rockets post translating? seems pretty clear' date=' but ill try to help

rocket Wrote: I've unlocked it, if folks can behave Smile

I'm back to work on 1.7.2

The only real remaining issue is dealing with the changes to PlayerID (int to string). Then the update will receive a closed test (I hope today). Then depending on the result of that, either a limited release, or a full release.

rocket' date=' take a look on the domination maps from xeno ( i've tested only 2.64 ) and there is a feature so u can't press the abort or respawn button for 10 seconds after pressing ESC.

I am sure after pressing Esc you can still press Alt+F4. Last one is what DCers using

Sweet! Really looking forward to getting some stronger bones in my legs, hopefully this update will help me rid off my recently-aquired morphine addiction ;)

Imagine the extra things we'll be able to carry when we don't have to have a minimum of 5 morphines in our backpacks :)

[Booker (DayZ) 47]

The ammo tracking is a change that I'm really looking forward to.

Anything that adds to be being aware that my supplies are limited!

[Time Glitch 453]

So great to have Rocket back!

[Frozen (DayZ) 144]

any chance, in some distant future perhaps, zombies spawn wont be dependent on players around like mobs in mmorpgs?

[kampfkarnickel 7]

i want to be closed testet toooo !!!

great thing !

[dayzdeadmeat 44]

Closed testing is starting now. Will update.

If you end up doing a limited release, we've got a large group of regular players that give great feedback. ;)

You mean zombies not being a beacon saying "Hey, there's a player in this town"

Would be nice, but I'd love to have the higher zombie counts back if possible. I miss seeing 1200 zombies on the counter :(

yeah. it will also mean that they wont despawn on dc/rc, wont depend on quantity of players(at least thats the main idea) on server. imagine 1 player and 1200 zombies on server.

I'm looking forward to this patch because then I can finally play this mod.

Does anyone know how to get in the closed testing or when the final patch will be out?

[zloi_diman 2]

Hello Rocket, can you make a wipe please? Just some people was been cheaters and duped more objects.

[zenvolta 12]

Please please....please! Add in more skins other than ghillie and camo. Also I want you to really think hard about the wire fences and bear traps. The state of most major towns is nothing but crazy fence jobs around every door. I hope this doesnt become the "new thing" to put every place with no regard.

Awesome work btw. I was shocked to see this being tested so early. Hope that means we are going to get it later today. Thanks for the awesome mod

[liukang168 4]

yeah bring everyone back to dayzero
