Stable Branch - 0.57 Discussion

[zombie123 (DayZ) 18]

Well, is the new CLE included in this 0.57 stable?

 

Because there are some loot explosions in some houses or cars... I went to the NWAF and I saw nothing in the barracks and neither the hangars... The only thing that I see spawning in military areas is the MP5 and some hats at the destroyed tanks. Am I not lucky, is the game trolling me or is the loot system crazy?

cause persistence is "off", loot spawns new on server restart.

 

so, the hoppers celebrating x-mas and loot all mil areas around the map. hope we will see persistence "on" realy fast.

 

To get the stuff you are looking for on mil. areas is... get an gun and wait there for the hoppers, easy looting if you are fast enough to loot before the next hopper "spawns" behind you

The short answer to all of the above is yes.

 

I do believe that some forms of lootsplosion/concentrations of loot are intended.

 

Concentrations of clothes in certain civilian houses makes sense to me

 

How much of anyone's home is filled with clothes?

 

If this is not intended, then it's something bugged in the CLE/loot spawning mechanics.

 

I too noticed lack of loot at military bases and thought I was possibly unlucky somehow.

 

I assumed that if loot wasn't spawning at NWA, a lot of people would be posting about it.... maybe I'm wrong.

 

This iteration of the CLE is clearly far from complete or working as intended.

 

I do want to say that I have seen leaps and bounds of progress in the CLE through the experimental branch.

 

I do also believe that it's a "sensitive" mechanic that is going to bug out throughout this process.

Saw an MP5 near a BRDM, along with 2 full 30rd mags for it. Saw 2 more 30rd MP5 mags near a different BRDM. Have yet to see an MP5 stock though. Also, with a suppressor it sounds quite nice (and quiet) although on this build I've only found Eastern block suppressors. 

I've found pistol suppressors at ruined/rusted pickup trucks (Hilux) and Nato suppressors at UH-1Y (smoking hueys) crash site. I seen lots of eastern suppressors too, at the wrecked tanks and humvees. 

[odin_lowe 3686]

 

Hunting backpacks now spawn in civilian locations, which is great.

 

 

Indeed. Makes sense to find hunting packs in deer stands and feeding shacks. I like the it.

 

 

 

For the 3rd or 4th time now I've found a firearm next door to it's magazine/clip.

 

This time it was a mosin and next door, a 5 round clip for it.

 

Same thing. That's a welcomed addition while we wait for the new system, which will randomly spawn weapons with various attachments/mags and random amounts of bullets in said mags.

 

Currently though, it's still pretty cool!  :thumbsup:

Found this P1 and mag right next to each other. Had already a pistol suppressor and some rounds. Was happy.  B)

A few things to report from my short session tonight:

• IT SEEMS THAT ZOMBIES CAN NO LONGER RUN THROUGH DOORS! I only tested this in a handful of small buildings (houses and small apartments), so it may not be the case with all doors (especially big bay doors or garage doors).

 

• The Wooden Logs can no longer be split into 3 wooden sticks. You must use the Long Wooden Stick to get 3 wooden sticks from chopping firewood (or just search the ground in virtually forest).

  Wooden Logs

Long Wooden Stick

 

• First Aid Kits now spawn with Blood Test Kits. They also only have 4 slots, and can store any type of item, not just medical.

  

 

• Big Military Tent Backpack can be worn with the Smersh Vest with Backpack attached. This was probably already the case, but I had never tested it out myself. 

  

 

• It's very easy to lose a firearm if you are double carrying (one firearm on your back, one in your hands). This has happened to me a couple times, mostly while trying to handle two primary firearms at a time. Vaulting also seems to cause problems. RIP CR527, mag and hunting scope...

 

I got a cool little camp setup because there were a ton of tents and a truck in a city. Took a pretty cool screenshot.

 

 

The server I found these on restarted (I'm pretty sure it was a scheduled restart @ 10:00pm PST) while I was setting up the camp, but everything stayed. I don't know if this means persistence of tents and items is working. Maybe for this one specific server.

 

I'll keep doing persistence tests to see what I can find.

 

Thanks for reading. Feedback is appreciated.

Dang!! NICE!  Now all you have to do is cowboy corrall cows into your military tent and close the door. Good Info Tux!

[Excanto 336]

In Experimental I learned a trick for stubborn items. Instead of double clicking them in the vicinity window, right clicking and selecting "Take" in the vicinity window, or hitting "F" on the item, drag the item into your Hands windows in the inventory and then click the X on the Hands window. It will auto-arrange into your topmost available inventory slot.

 

I'm not 100% sure if this trick would've helped in your situation because I'm not sure if I understand what you were seeing exactly, but someone might be helped anyway as a result of me posting this. 

Ya I tried the take and same thing, I'm not sure what the F thing you mention here is. It seemed that standing right above the items graphic location was causing me to be out of range or blocked by my position for taking it. When I slid beside the chair and jammed between the chair and the wall, it was happy with my location and my ability to actually reach the box. On other occasions I have looted the rest of the buildings and come back to try other things to get a stubborn item.

[Excanto 336]

Finally got a WInchester with hunting scope and plenty of ammo! Now it's the time to try it on some freshspaw- I mean bandits...

That's about the time I get paranoid, soon as I get the scope attached, ahhh happy now! (Sudden blast of paranoia) is that someone behind that bush? Did that tree just move? Their gonna take my rifle! Prone Prone Prone!!! Crawl for 40 minutes to get to the next hill! Oops server occupancy 1.

Curious, do you even get notification i quoted you if i only ctrl+v your text in a quote, or do i need to click "quote" on your post in order u get notification?

was always wondering that after i did the ctrl+v, but never bothered doing it the other way :P

Haven't received a notification, so the answer is no. :P Thanks for the source and specially thanks for the topic. Now I know how people get these numbers and how I can find them myself.

You will need a battery for that thing to work unfortunately.

Indeed! I even thought of just leaving the character until persistence comes and then stash it in a camp and never touch it again :D But that would be kinda... stupid, wouldn't it? After all I wanna try it, but I don't even want to fire any gun fearing that somebody comes and kills me.

[PlasticAssasin8 (DayZ) 78]

Ive found that i coulnt hold my rifle, it kept saying that i had a splitting axe in my hands. I thrown it way long before and it wasn't in my list anymore

It works, you just need a battery, I was using it a lot in exp. :)

[ColdAtrophy 1850]

Will trade AKM w/ 2 75Rnd Drum Mags plus 300 loose rounds, Kashtan, all Pristine, plus a Winchester w/ Hunting Scope and 160 rounds for one battery.

 

EDIT: Jk. We all know a battery is currently worth a lot more than that.

Ya need a working battery, which currently must be hiding somewhere that no one has figured out yet. Since we don't spawn with a battery anymore, the hunt is on, So far I haven't seen one. If ya mean that you have a battery in it and it still doesn't work, then, well, WHERE YA GET DAT BATTERY? :-D

Yeah, been looking for a battery for ages! How am I supposed to test my Winchester at "bandits" without a working rangefinder? Could as well just go throw it at the next freshspawn I see...

LOL, the last time I had a model 70 with pristine hunting scope and several qty-40 piles of .308, I ran to the coast because I had just seen zombies there a few hours before. I cruised the hill tops and popped about 6 zombies from around 400m. Tried some longer shots and missed some and cracked up watching the zombies act weird after the bullet whizzed past. Then next day it was wipe-o-rama. Fire that baby and enjoy it :-)

Log out and back should cure that.

[Excanto 336]

So since this patch I was on a private server and found some nice stuff and server restarted when I was in a house and now I am under the house. I can not vault, hitting V does nothing. I have tried getting right up near a barrier with open ground past it and hitting v and logging out and back, I've tried crawling, swinging my axe etc. I've tried hitting w while logging in. That guy is hosed, isn't there a suicide command now?

Logged into another private server and started there and wow do I have a lot of bolts for my crossbow! Found a chicken and now I have meat, feathers and bones. Smooth play, I do not allow any autoswapping of any kind to avoid weird glitches that seem to follow you once they start. I found a leather kit and repaired my hunting backpack. I have all sorts of cartridges for lots of guns I don't have. I figure when someone pops me, their gonna say "Jackpot baby!" ding ding ding ding ding......

You can try running at the walls, or you can submit a help ticket and the devs will send out a rescue party.

Per Hicks, Red 9 and VSS are not currently spawning.

that's ashemed maybe next update. hopefully they won't stay not spawning for another 4 updates like what happened in .52. Was the ump 45 confirmed not spawning as well. Edited June 12, 2015 by DaNic2553
