VOIP issue plus a noob question

[Colemanw26 11]

Hey all! Just logged in. I got a couple questions.

 

Is there anything beyond the in-game menu that I can do to turn up VOIP volume? Even when we scream into our mics, it is near impossible to hear each other.

 

 

Also, if I pick up a pair of handcuffs, how do I just put them in my inventory next to my flashlight, battery, and old can of nasty tuna? It's like it's  stuck in my hands.

 

Thanks!

No question is a noob question. We all learn somewhere right?

Anyway. With regards to the voice, I think it could be VON for hearing them, I'm not sure I don't really use it. It's more a case of get on TS with some mates and fuck shit up.

 

Hold tab to bring up your inventory, press the little cross icon [x] where it says hands, it should take it out of your hand (It will drop if you don't have room in your bag/inventory) then it's just a case of drag and drop.

Oh I get it now, you only get 4 inventory slots. Gotcha!

 

Hehe I just picked up a motorcycle helmet that conveniently fits OVER my gas mask.... lol  wearing both at the same time.

Find "better" clothing to upgrade the inventory slots you can have. Also, a backpack is always good to have.

Well apparently the height from which you fall and die is only like 8 feet so....im starting over heh

Yup it doesn't take much of a height to kill off your character. 

 

If you do fall and survive, you will have broken legs. You can create a splint by using rags (created by ripping up shirts) and combining with sticks (which you can find in most towns). When combined it will become a splint and you can then use this on yourself to fix yourself up.

 

If you do not have the sticks and rags at the time of falling, you will have to crawl to get anywhere as you will not be able to walk. If this happens try and find a player to put you out of your misery. Or a friendly Zombie (such as Britney) who will gladly pummel you into oblivion.

Even better, in the mod, you were lucky if you survived stumbling over a rock.

How long does it normally take to respawn? I've been waiting for like 5 minutes. it says scene ready, 1, 2 ,3  then nothing but blackness and the sound of the ocean.

How do you refill a canteen at a pond?

[Sinphaltimus 262]

When you go to a pond- put the canteen in your hands and move around until you see "Drink Water" then use mouse wheel to scroll through options- select "fill bottle".

Funny, I would have thought you could find sticks in the 200 sq km of forests and not just in towns  ;)

VoN the ingame option is for global chat (also in arma/mod), I've tried it a few times and it didn't change anything ingame for me. Tried to fix it myself but couldn't find anything.
