Turning zombies off

Recommended Posts

There's a stupid "trick" to turn zombies off which I found out by accident.

I've installed DayZ manually. Then every time I joined a server a warning popped up telling me about missing content. Since I've seen tons of these bogus warnings before (thanks to crappy custom addons) I didn't really care and started exploring the Z world...

After a while I wondered where all those zombies are. I saw other players but no zombies. After several hours of walking around collecting stuff there were still no zombies.

Then on one server some guy was voting to kick me which I found strange since all I was doing was picking up gear. Then it dawned on me: I play a game about zombies but there are none. I play nice (e.g. not shooting others, sharing surplus matches and meat, etc) but this dude probably thinks I'm cheating or something... oh, and there was this warning about missing content!

When I checked my DayZ folder I noticed that I forgot to extract the dayz.pbo. I've been playing for hours without it. No dayz.pbo, no zombies.

I think this should be fixed.

Not sure what to make of this, surely he'd be restricted access to the server? He also lacks any proof.

Proof? Remove the dayz.pbo from @DayZ\AddOns, join a server and try to find a zombie.

Which file should I delete to remove players?

How can this work? i get it if they dont spawn for him when hes on his own but if he went where another player was in a city surely they cause them to spawn around him still : S

Btw, adding "dayz" to the list of addOns[] in mission.sqm should fix it.
