LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted February 16, 2014 I'm really excited for this... But I'm not sure if it won't affect the hiking simulator 2014 too much. Rain=no hiking? Hm. Better start a fire...wait...that will come too? Hm....and cook something on it? Until some wet bandits come because they saw the flame in the night... I'm not sure what I should think about that - on the one hand...I love every bit of authenticity in this game on the other hand, If it make sme sick to go out in the rain and i start sneezing again (ah the Mod memories...) and all players and Zeds get alerted by that...hm....What do you guys think about that? :) Well to cheer you up (if you did not like that announcment) here is what rocket did on valentines day: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeChat 131 Posted February 16, 2014 To that I can only say "about time" I've been waiting for bad weather, camping fires and a cup of hot... well I guess it will be water this time. I just wish that they'd add rain ponchos as well. The rain coats are a little bit too ugly for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Officer25 54 Posted February 16, 2014 Does this mean I will have to take off my tactical shirt every time it rains? Hopefully a simple throw-on poncho that doesn't take much inventory space is implemented... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko2580 398 Posted February 16, 2014 Want. Besides you can always light a fire somewhere out of sight or, hopefully when building is implemented, build a fire pit or something to hide the light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irl-calibre 744 Posted February 17, 2014 if it's like the mod as long as you keep moving you should be fine, camping in the rain is a different story unless you had heat packs or made fires.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rapier17 48 Posted February 17, 2014 Hurrah! Looking forward to this!Hopefully a simple throw-on poncho that doesn't take much inventory space is implemented... Let's hope they include one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathlove 2280 Posted February 17, 2014 You know what else would be cool to for cooking and crap? Making sure your meat is thoroughly cooked like meat and chicken based items or they can give you things like salmonella poisoning and kill you. Also would be a really wicked thing to feed some one with hand cuffs to kill them. Unrelated to weather but was thinking stuff that would make you sick lol.

Etherimp 1323 Posted February 17, 2014 I just wish they would make the down jackets take up the "Vest" slot instead of being "Shirt" with the inability to wear a vest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaughingJack (DayZ) 767 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I think that has something to do with the ability to reach the pockets (but don't quote me on that) - even if its very logical that you can pull out a pistol of the lowest level of your backpack in the same time as you can pull it out of your pockets...But afaik is clothing subject to change (not the models, but the whole "What wear where" and "how get somethign in what time of which pocket" )...but it has no priority...

Jack Dant 158 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) What the hell? Source?Such a simple feature - which would totally have a working function now.Same with the bandana around the face/mouth.. omg why (not)From rocket on reddit: What you proposed involves:Playing an animation on a proxy object (requires synchronizing, which means considering who needs to play the animation, asking them too, then confirming they got the message to play the animation). Removing the current object (requires synchronization). Creating a new object (again, synchronized) Applying all the old attributes to the new object (damage textures, wetness, will all require synchronizing).Not to mention my previous point, that you're talking now having to do an entirely new model with a raised hood. That means it needs to be re-UV mapped, and also would need to be rebaked. You would also have to do all the LOD's again. And like I said before... the clipping issue is an absolute, unmitigated, nightmare.Continue reading that thread for some amusing bits. Edit: These forums destroy list formatting. Check reddit for clearer format. Edited February 17, 2014 by Jack Dant 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QbitzR 157 Posted February 17, 2014 It saddens me to see something that (seemingly) profound fail because of lack of server capacity/efficiency.Kind of makes you wonder about the limits of the engine/servers.Well at least the rain wasn´t too much work for the devteam to implement and synchronize *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carraig 23 Posted February 17, 2014 Great stuff! But where are we supposed to shelter from the rain? Last time i checked it rains inside the houses and barns as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mosibfu 71 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) i LOL'd at light a fire.. i found a lot of stones to make a fire, all were badly damaged, 0 uses left... @ carraig, put your shadow settings higher, then it doesnt rain indoors..

Etherimp 1323 Posted February 17, 2014 Great stuff! But where are we supposed to shelter from the rain? Last time i checked it rains inside the houses and barns as well. In the mod it was less about shelter and more about warmth.. If you could continue moving it would keep your body temp up.. If you were sitting next to a fire you didn't lose body temp.. If you were in a car/helicopter you didn't lose body temp.. etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
