TOM11TD 1 Posted January 1, 2015 Just wondering, has anyone played on a vanilla Taviana Dayz mod server recently? I used to play on one several months ago but they all seem to have gone down as far a I know. Any Taviana players on a good server currently or planning on starting one up?

wil24567 240 Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Just wondering, has anyone played on a vanilla Taviana Dayz mod server recently? I used to play on one several months ago but they all seem to have gone down as far a I know. Any Taviana players on a good server currently or planning on starting one up? I too have noticed the recent downfall in Taviana servers myself. Do not despair, I am here to explain! You see, vanilla Taviana servers were forgone for other more popular mods such as Origins, which does use the Taviana map. Many of the servers were shut down because they simply wern't popular enough. It's sad, but if you're looking for a Taviana fix, look into Origins or even Overpochins. Hope this helps!

kichilron 8550 Posted January 2, 2015 I too had one of my best times on Taviana, but it hasn't been updated in over 1.5 years and will not be in the future anymore - son don't expect any servers to pop up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WolcottBro 9 Posted January 2, 2015 I Myself have been looking for a DayZ Taviana Vanilla server for a month now. It is the best DayZ map to me. 1 year ago, there were several popular Taviana vanilla server I used to played on A LOT.Now, all you can find are those freaking mods like Epoch, Origins, Owerwatch and even OVERPOCHINS.. I'm so sad about it. I've tried them.. so unrealistic and unpleasant. You Spawn with all the stuff you're supposed to find, you can lock cars, build and lock building to hide your stuff.. I Mean WTF, that's not how DayZ is meant to play. Anything you find should be yours, period. Anyways, I miss the old days. And I'm still trying to figure out how people get pleasure by playing on those servers.. You might aswell want to play Wasteland instead of DayZ, just saying..Why is no one updating Taviana kichilron? It is soooo worth it! Look at how much fun it was : Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kichilron 8550 Posted January 2, 2015 Why is no one updating Taviana kichilron? It is soooo worth it! The guy creating Taviana joined the Origins team and had an exclusive deal with them. Now that Origins is discontinued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TOM11TD 1 Posted January 2, 2015 I was never a fan of the Overwatch mod or mods similar to it because it never really felt like you were playing Dayz. I know Taviana hasn't been updated in very long, but I really enjoyed playing it. I wish some old players would group up and make another server because it would be a lot of fun.

Now that Origins is discontinued.So silly, Vanilla Taviana had such a huge potential.. why would you sully it with a mod...?Exactly TOM, And I would be willing to play on such a server permanentely. I proposed this a while ago to Geryon, a Vanilla server admin :http://eternalgaminglounge.enjin.com/forums/m/17981972/viewthread/17673514-dayz-taviana-vanilla-server/page/1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't really have to ask yourself that question if the creator is getting money from Origins to continue the work exclusively for them, do you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Automodown 10 Posted January 3, 2015 Hmm this strikes my interest. How many people are actually interested in this? Does any one know the current state Taviana vanilla was left in? We run a Epoch server with no traders and no currency but the rest of the elements of Epoch are there. We are possibly looking to host a vanilla non Chernarus map. Maybe Taviana isn't dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Automodown 10 Posted January 7, 2015 We were kicking the idea around, quit frankly it would be a kinda of a pain to just use the existing Taviana setup. So if we ported over our existing setup from Epoch minus the traders, currency, base building etc on the Taviana map would that be an option? Currently we do not use Traders, currency etc on the Epoch mod we are running now so it might not be that much of a stretch to get this running easier. I await feedback. Thanks!

squadorn 6 Posted January 7, 2015 Why is no one updating Taviana kichilron? It is soooo worth it! The guy creating Taviana joined the Origins team and had an exclusive deal with them. Now that Origins is discontinued. And the new developer was very close to releasing Taviana 3.0 but then life got in the way and then he didn't feel like continuing it, was so close...

I feel like a lot of people are kind of frustrated the way those mods went with the original game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Automodown 10 Posted January 8, 2015 I am sure the og Taviana server works. I was just stating that it would be easier for us to use the Taviana map with epoch and just port over what we have in regards to loot tables and what not instead of just starting from scratch and tweaking and adjusting what ever Taviana left off with. Don't think of it as Epoch with traders think of it as more Dayz vanilla using the Epoch mod. The things in Epoch would be irrelevant, they would not exist in Taviana just the Epoch mod it self.

Sorry I don't have any experience running servers so I'm just wondering. If you used Epoch what would be different from vanilla? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Automodown 10 Posted January 8, 2015 We are going to setup a test server tonight and play around with it. The biggest issue would be player base. Seeing that players would have to download just the Taviana map is a challenge in itself. When having just the vanilla dayz mod server I found players had trouble keeping up with updates which hurt population. To answer your question about Epoch there wouldn't be a difference to vanilla seeing how we have our Epoch server setup to be basically vanilla Chernarus with base building and AI missions ( the only way that made sense to distribute building materials) so if we did a Taviana vanilla server base building and AI would not be included, so what you would be left with is just vanilla and we could just port over everything from our server and call it a day. We will know tonight, I will have an update tonight or tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Traders are for pussies who are too afraid to go around and loot the dangerous places. Vanilla Taviana FTW! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delpi 5 Posted January 9, 2015 i'm not sure you are following what Auto is saying. I'm the programmer with him. I can make Dayz Epoch into Vanilla Tavi that you seem to want in about 3 hours from what i have now. What i'm running is far from Epoch, it is basically what 1.8.3 should be without the dumb things Rocket's team started to do. It has non of Epoch stuff either like traders, unlimited vehicles, ect. It has static vehicle spawn locations with the right dmg levels and all the other things the base mod and Tavi have instead.. I just used Epoch because i could get to all the files i needed to. Similar story here, using it as the base code i can do more to it easier. I can make Tavi 2.0 into whatever we want but it will take me months. Frankly, i'm not willing to spend the time for that. The reward is not worth the pain. So, your choices are 1) Get your Tavi experience that you are looking for using the Epoch shell with none of the epoch Stuff2) Nothing. Let us know what is of interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
