More stats on the Debug Monitor

[Cosmo I BH 1]

I have an idea for 2 additional stats on the Debug Monitor:

First off; DayZ is a survivial mod, therefor the main goal is to survive. Adding a stat on the debug monitor that shows the amount of time that your current life have lasted, is a self-written stat for the mod.

A lot of walking is required for you to stay alive in Chernarus. Adding a stat to the debug monitor that shows the distance traveled would be a nice addition to the debug monitor.

This is how I picture it:

[align=center]DEBUG MONITOR:

Zombies killed: 12

Headshots: 9

Murders: 4

Bandits killed: 1

Blood: 10852.9

Zombies: (alive/total)

455/492

Temperature: 38 C

Lifetime: 1d 32m

Distance traveled: 2354 km

Yes. +1

[stielhandgranate 480]

+1

Maybe "Animals Killed" or "Rounds fired" as well?

[Failbait 60]

Maybe if the debug monitor was accessed out of game.

bumping this thread.

I like the idea. I was considering something like this myself, but I forgot the specific suggestions I had.

+1 if that helps.

Did you purposely put the temperature that low? Because its a much more realistic temperature. If everyone was 42 C they would be either dead or having spasms on the ground. Not much surviving would be going on lol.

I put the temperature on 38C because that was that was my temperature at the time :-).

At some stage the debug monitor will go and be replaced with something else. For realism you wouldnt know how many zombies there are but a few stats like you propose would be OK.

I'd like - beans eaten

[Dreganius (DayZ) 55]

Beans stolen

Beans eaten

Beans shared

Beans murdered for

Beans found

Beans excreted

I will say no to your idea, but yes if it was implemented a different way.

Right now I believe rocket said he didn't want much of a UI for the game, and if anything wants to remove more stats rather then add more.

Instead why not have a lootable item to be found that is like an index.

When you pick up said index, from there on out your character would keep track of certain statistics.

I.E

Player's killed

Zombies Killed

Rounded distance traveled

And any other statistic of importance.

But perhaps limit your character to only choosing 2 or 3 of said statistic out of the list when first opening the index to keeping track of.

Since there really is no goal other than to survive, then I think that it's nice to have various stats so you can compare your progress in your current life with your other lives.

With that I agree, I forget to mention generally when I suggest things its when the mod is done, by then there should be more things you could do, or work toward by then.

When it gets to that point I think an index to keep track would be appropriate.

For now I am unsure as I believe rocket wants to stray away from more UI things, but if it takes awhile to get to the finished mod soon, then why not add some more statistics to make things interesting eh?

[Lukio (DayZ) 24]

I'd rather see these kind of stats in some kind of character profile, but the debug monitor completely removed (which afaik is the plan).

[herd 69]

Stop bumbing it and post on the devs heaven. Forum is just for discussion.

I would suggest remove the name also.

[avis noct 0]

Bumping this. Seems like a reasonable thing to add.

-1 nooo sorry

there should be less stats, and if possible get rid of ze monitor. DOnt mind accumulative stats, but they should be given to you at ze end of your life.
