Dayzmod + bots patrols on a local server?

[Bushmills 15]

Hi,

 

I absolutely love DayZmod Vanilla 1.8.6.1 as it is. You guys do a great job.

I play on Europa and Europa Elite (which I strongly recommend) but I feel frustrated with players destroying people's work just for the fun of it.

I don't mind being killed, robbed or having my base broken into as all that is part of the game, but I just can't stand the destruction of tents and stashes whether they are inside a base or just hidden.

Now, I'm not here to whine, this was just to explain the context of my questions.

 

I'm considering running my own local server just for me because what I like now in DayZ is crafting, looting and killing zombies but I also like the risk/tension associated with other players being on the server.

1. So is it possible to run locally a DayZmod server 1.8.6.1?

2. Plus, so as to artificially recreate the tension of other players, I'd like to add bot patrols, similar to what can/could be done with Epoch. Is this possible?

Sorry to mention Epoch on a dayzmod forum but it's just the pot patrols I'm interested in...

In short I'd like to have my own Dayzmod server with bot patrols.

Can it be done?

 

Thanks for reading

I played on lot servers with AI patrols. There were bandits and survivors AI. I think in Vanilla and Overwatch mod, cant remember any more.

I remember on Overwatch server we had patrols in vehicles, helicopters shooting at players (if heli shot downs, sometimes pilot survives and atack).

I dont know how would that work on lokal server.

So I tried following this tutorial to set up my own server eventhough it is for DayZ 1.8.3 :

but I didn't make it through.

I managed to have the server running but I'm stuck on Waiting for host.

I checked the rpt and the problem seemed to be located in the addon folder namely some Crossbow thingy incompatibility. Of course I had reversed my DayZ 1.8.6.1 to 1.8.3.

 

Then I had a look at the features (not) offered in 1.8.3 and there's too many good stuff introduced from 1.8.4 onwards that I don't want to miss.

Could anybody point me to right direction : setting up a 1.8.6.1 server? I'll see about the AI patrols in due time... First things first, being able to play on a private purely Vanilla latest DayZ server!

 

Help?

The crossbow files are part of the client mod. The server needs to be running both "@Dayz" (client mod) and @Hive. Maybe this will get you to the next stage? :)
