Have fun, Remember melee isn't your best defensive weapon :-) (i did warn you)

MOD UPDATE? MOD UPDATE?!

MOD UPDATE!!!!!

[seaweeduk 97]

Is dayz_infectiousWaterholes intentionally not defined in the mission init.sqf? 

 

edit: nm just saw the 1.8.2 changelog guessing they are deliberately disabled 

Edited May 29, 2014 by seaweed

[r4z0r49 4761]

For now they are broke.

ppl getting script restriction 44 even thou ive updated the battle eye filters

 

 "NOTE IF YOU CANT CONNECCT GOTO AppData\Local\ArmA 2 OA\BattlEye AND DELETE THE BEClient.DLL",

Scripts.log will always tell you why people are being kicked and will basically show you the exception you need to add

#44 "pect others"]    

 

ok I know what it was , and it was the SERVER RULES I modified , it seems if the line is to long then this happens

 

I put all the server rules on one line as I didn't want it spamming for the first few mins

 

and this was the "respect others" at the end of the line, so it seems there is a line limit on what you can have in the rules

Edited May 29, 2014 by 8bitgamers.co.uk

[EQQQQQ 3]

Damn, time to locate all changes and their effect in the server PBO, DB layout and calls to properly have a Reality server up and running.  :blink:

Great job R4ZOR and the rest of the guys. Time to get those "WHEN IS 1.8.2 COMING OUT?!!!" comments.  :D

What makes you think its because the line was too long? Battleye kicks for things that match it's filters not for things being too long. 

 

More likely something contained in that rules line you added is also in a battleye filter in scripts.txt, the 44th kick rule will be the one causing the kick. Annoyingly you can't just look at line counts but you should get the idea at least.  

[fazmond 11]

there was nothing wrong with the line it was just to long and you see its cut of the end

[seaweeduk 97]

there was nothing wrong with the line it was just to long and you see its cut of the end

 

If the line is too long it'll cut it off in the .log file but its kicking because of the contents of that line, not its length.

Biggest complaint I'm seeing from sidechat at the moment apart from people crying about zombies hitting them too hard, is people saying zombies are spawning inside of them, even when standing alone in woods etc. 

 

edit: zed spawning was me making a typo, so just zombie damage ppl are complaining about so far, and I don't think they've played long enough to judge it yet. 

Edited May 29, 2014 by seaweed

[r4z0r49 4761]

lol that's a new one. I'll check that 

[seaweeduk 97]

lol that's a new one. I'll check that 

 

It's ok I accidentally uncommented some stuff in player_spawn_2, I think it'll be fine now I've fixed it. 

 

edit: Some people still reporting it on the vanilla mission, I'll properly test things myself first hand tonight though when I get back from work. 

 

People are saying the zombies all spawn inside each other in one spot, and sometimes they spawn inside of them. I didn't see this at all when testing things last night or on the test builds, so could be some kind of weird intermittent issue.

Edited May 29, 2014 by seaweed

[r4z0r49 4761]

k cool, my main concerns right now

 

1. New spawns have a really hard time to get started.
2. Moving attack is problematic Hicks is working on a way for us to get a new moving attack animation for the zombies. (fingers crossed).
3. The moveto command wont allow locations to be placed below 3 meters to any entity So zeds cant move closer then 3 meters to any player. (hence the attack is at a distance)3.4 meters just under the melee hitting range.
4. Zombie's initial move & hit is devastating. (Cant think right how to improve on this without making the zombies way too easy or way too hard) 

[seaweeduk 97]

FPS is absolutely godlike on this update btw, guessing that could just be from the new ARMA beta patch but either way its absolutely epic if coming from 103718

 

I saw 140 fps at NEAF last night, previously I rarely ever saw it go over 90. In general its at least 10-20 fps higher in most places for me now. 

[r4z0r49 4761]

That's good to know the zeds should be able to eat your faster lol.

[tim1256 1]

Sounds great! Any idea on when this will be "updateable" through DayZCommander? I would love to update but I'm scared half my players won't understand how update their Arma/DayZ without DayZCommander

[r4z0r49 4761]

We had issues with it last night Josh is looking into the issue atm.

[thag 10]

So, when you finally put back to the Mod my lovely M107 ??

[kichilron 8550]

So, when you finally put back to the Mod my lovely M107 ??

 

 

We won't. Those don't have a place there. Maybe some highcaliber Russian rifles.

[carl117 1]

This looks amazing, do you have an estimated time on when this will be updated?
