haywardgb 129 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Notice: In the event that DayZ Launcher is down, enable the mods manually in ARMA 2 OA settings, in this order: Lingor Island (Skarinator)Origins 1.7.9.5Epoch 1.0.5.1 Or.....In your Operation Arrowhead folder check the names of your mods and add this line to your launch parameters in Steam for ARMA2OA:Change the mod names to the ones you have, these are default though so they should work if you downloaded via DayZ Launcher :)-mod=@DayZLingorSkaro;@DayzOrigins1795;@DayZ_Epoch1051 Then connect to this IP: 212.129.63.140 , Port: 2302IMPORTANT: You must start Arma 2 OA via Steam , or it won't load Battleye and you'll keep getting "connection lost" messages! --------------------------------------------- xxx ------------------------------------------- ADDED: Plot pole management. Add friends/clan members so they can build on your base (they can also remove/downgrade epoch buildables, so only add people you trust). Also, remember to add yourself so you won't lose access after death. We will not accept responsibility for plot friends griefing your base, sorry. ADDED: Fingerprint KeyCode system ADDED: Faction system that effects Humanity. Choose Bandit and all your Zed / Mission AI kills give negative humanity. Choose Hero and all your Mission AI / Zed kills give plus humanity. Human players still give standard humanity for kills, so killing a player bandit will give you plus humanity regardless of your faction and killing a player hero or survivor will give you negative humanity. Once you reach Level 1 in either Hero or Bandit, getting to the other faction will not be easy. This means that you can work towards being a bandit even if there aren't many players online to murder :P Note: Only mission AI and Zed kills are effected by the Humanity Faction system, not roaming AI or Human Players.ADDED: Friends added to your plot pole will now get access to your origins house/garage within the plot pole radius. Adding people to your plot pole is always an action of trust, so only add people you know won't grief your base. Remember, plot pole friends can also remove epoch walls, floors etc in your base. Safes and Lockboxes are not effected by this system, you will need to share your combination with friends/clan members if you want to give them access to your safe or lockbox. ADDED: Door management with Eye-scan access only (No more codes). Only people you add to your Epoch doors will be able to open them. ADDED: Generators at every fuel station. You only need to start it up and you can then refuel any vehicle within range without a fuel can. This is not auto-refuel. You still need to get out of the vehicle and turn the generator on, then choose the option to refuel the vehicle while next to the fuel pump. FIXED: Gear now saves in Origin houses and garages (no more lost gear after restarts). Please note though that any NPC occupied origin building will not save the gear contents of that building between server restarts, so don't put anything inside an NPC occupied property gear if you expect it to be there after the restart, because it wont be (use the gear as a temporary place to place items while your sort you backpack or as an area to exchange items with another player without having to give them access to your backpack or vehicle). So in short: Only player owned origin buildings will save gear in the database. Follow us on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/epoch-origins--------------------------------------------- xxx ------------------------------------------- We're called the Tea Party, but not the one you're thinking of. The owner loves his tea, what more can I say! IP: 212.129.63.140:2302You will need: DayZ Epoch 1.0.5.1 Origins 1.7.9.5 Lingor Island 2.3.1Server is set to VETERAN Basics:You start a new life with no gear. Everyone does, even admins.NO PAY TO WIN. But if you want to show your support and help keep the server running then ask Tea or Hayward for the PayPal email address. Zombies only die with a head shot. This is tough as hell when you're being swamped with no way out!No crosshair. The server is set to Veteran! Watch out for AI bandits, they are rare but they will hunt you down if you're spotted (human bandits are a worse threat though!!).NO self bloodbag. God, I hate needles!With full food and water stats your character will slowly regain blood over time.You could also try asking someone to bloodbag you. This is where Hero's get to shine :DTrader zones exist, but there's no rules about stealing vehicles or killing players, so watch your back!Sorry, but asking people not to kill or steal on a PVP server is like asking people not to eat food in a restaurant.NO FANCY TOW/LIFT SCRIPT, AUTO REFUEL or anything like that. This isn't a bambi server!We have added Advanced Trading menus only to make it faster to get in and out of trader zones! NO Salvage Parts from vehicles, you have to actually buy or find the parts.5 Humanity Levels for Hero and Bandits with Origins Houses/Garages/Stronghold/Pyramid(King) as your tier rewards.Hero: Lvl1 = 5000 , Lvl2 = 10000 , Lvl3 = 15000 , Lvl4 = 20000 , Lvl5 = 25000Bandit: Lvl1 = 0 , Lvl2 = -5000 , Lvl3 = -10000 , Lvl4 = -15000 , Lvl5 = -20000You need to right click your Toolbox to get the option to build the Origin buildings (you also need 1 scrap metal).Each building costs a set amount of Briefcases. (we may make the requirements tougher in future updates).Lvl 1 House = 5 Briefcases , Garages = (small x 2 Briefcases / large x 5 briefcases), Lvl3 House = 10 BriefcasesStronghold = 20 Briefcases (Need to be Lvl 4 Bandit or Hero)Pyramid (King) = 20 Briefcases (Need to be Lvl 5 Bandit or Hero)The server owner is Tea. He is helped by Hayward. Together they are "The Admins" ! Edited January 22, 2016 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Please let me know if you experience connection issues. Like content missing etc.. You do need to load the mods in this order: Lingor , Origins and then Epoch. DayZ Launcher should detect it correctly, if not, let me know. As I start it with a custom shortcut! Try adding this to your launch options in Steam: -mod=@DayZLingorSkaro;@DayzOrigins1795;@DayZ_Epoch1051Check the mod names with your existing arma 2 oa directory, make sure you're using the right versions!

haywardgb 129 Posted November 27, 2015 Fixed: Lock House option doesn't come up for locked houses, so no more accidental gear wipes! ISSUES: You get the option to buy and sell vehicles at Hero and Bandit traders via the Advanced trader menu. You cannot buy or sell vehicles using the advanced trader menu, it will tell you that you don't have enough space in your inventory. For vehicles please use the regular trading menus. Thank you.

haywardgb 129 Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Updated the loot tables to include chance of chainsaw loot at heli crash sites.Added AI Fortress mission with mega loot.Certain traders now buy/sell Ore and Gems.You can buy a flying fortress at Hero and Bandit traders (they're not cheap).If you carry a radio in your toolbelt, you'll get a message warning you of radio interference (this means there's an AI nearby pursuing you)Lots more changes and more to come, but still keeping it hardcore PVP/PVE :D Edited November 28, 2015 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haywardgb 129 Posted December 4, 2015 Adding a new achievements system along with top bandit, hero and zombie killer feed. I already got my Hero level 1 achievement, can you spot it ? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 4, 2015 Lingor Island 2.3.1 successfully installed and I can't tell you just how brilliant it feels NOT to get stuck in a doorway being beaten up by zeds! Details for connecting are at the top of this page. For the first few to join this evening , ask for Mocha and he'll sort you out with some gear to get you going.

haywardgb 129 Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Added: If your vehicle is destroyed (while unlocked) , the vehicle contents will be scattered around the wreckage (with a chance of some of it being destroyed in the explosion). This opens up new PVP elements and gives the player a chance to recover some of their gear should they be a rubbish pilot for example :P Just a reminder that there are no safe zones on this server and pvp is permitted anywhere. Not to be confused with griefing, don't be a douche! Edited December 5, 2015 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 7, 2015 Updated the achievements system and added better rewards for bandit / hero levels. There are now VIP Hero and Bandit clubhouses where you can buy weapons and ammo at half price.More goodies on the way.. Here's a screenshot mashup of the various Origins buildings available...

haywardgb 129 Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Some highlights of the past month... Edited January 22, 2016 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 10, 2015 Just one request. Don't join and bitch about not having any gear "Not even an axe" . This is a survival server, that's what it was set up for. People who like the challenge of starting with nothing and building up to something. An axe is a powerful weapon in DayZ, it can be more deadly than a gun if used properly, we may as well give you a GPS , backpack, silenced handgun, bandages, food and drink, oh and not forgetting self bloodbag. Seriously though, please, don't join just to complain about the lack of start gear. It clearly states what this server is in the thread. If no start gear and brutal survival gameplay isn't your thing, this server isn't for you :) For everyone else, come and take on the challenge... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) UPDATE: First session will be this evening from about 9pm (GMT LONDON). I might be on sooner, but I've got some work to finish before then :) My server has been pretty quiet these past few weeks due to some maintenance that took longer than expected. But alls back up and running again, so until things get going again I thought until our regulars come back, I'd run some workshops on base building and flying . Two areas most people struggle. The base building will take place on an abandoned airfield, all the materials will be provided and you'll be given the opportunity to learn by trial and error, I'll be there to guide you of course. We use snap build, so you'll get to see how that works to. Come and try your hand at base building , I'll be around most of this weekend. So just jump on and say you're there for the base building workshop. We won't be covering Origin houses as they don't require any effort to build, just pay the fee and you're done :) I'll also be offering flying lessons for those that want to learn how to fly a heli or plane and land safely. We actually have a real life pilot who will be teaching you the basics of flying a plane, while I'll stick to helis (because even I can't fly a plane yet)... Now the only condition we have for taking part, is that you cant keep any of the materials we loan you or the vehicle you practice in. We will however set you up with some cash to get you started if you choose to stick around afterwards and be part of the community. You can find us on DayZ Launcher, search for TEA PARTY . The IP is 212.129.63.140:2302 . We are running Lingor 2.3.1 , Epoch 1.5.0.1 and Origins 1.7.9.5Our teamspeak is unit487.teamspeak3.com , I'll be in the Epoch Origins channel - Hayward. If enough people get on and everybody is up for it, we'll even visit the race track and do some races with epic ramps included :) Edited December 11, 2015 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haywardgb 129 Posted December 20, 2015 The building workshops have ended. It was fun , but all good things must come to an end. Here's something we made together :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MatMat (DayZ) 2 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Hi. I'am Zoltan. try your server since some dayz, and it's excellent. So i'll play on it finally. RP : I'm a Hero. i don't search the others players, i prefer the hazardous situations. But i'll open fire if someone shoot at me or try to steal my camp :) And if a bandit is on the map, my priority will be to hunt him. Friendly with the other heroes. If players want to join me, they are welcome. IRL i am 41 years old, i work for humanitarian organizations. See you ingame :) Edited December 20, 2015 by MatMat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 20, 2015 Hi Zoltan. It's great to have you join our server. A humanitarian playing as a Hero, that works very well :) See you in game and thank you for the kind words :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) UPDATE: Due to a bug with Level 2 hero houses, we've removed both level 2 hero and bandit houses to make it fair. At level 2 you can now build origin garages, then at level 3 you can build level 3 hero/bandit house and so on. Nothing is perfect with dayz, but we do our best with what we have :) Edited December 22, 2015 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) UPDATE: Added new traders and cleaned up existing trader scripts. The mission file is smaller as a result. You can now trade any vehicle at any vehicle trader, no need to remember which one sells which and which one doesn't. Added a black market trader which will be updated when I get time, for now only a few weapons are available. Gems Trader added. Both boat traders sell all types of boats, again no need to remember which one sells which. Scientist now only exchanges zombie meat for biomeat (he also sells drinks, to wash it down afterwards). Neutral and Friendly weapon dealers sell the same weapons and ammo, so if they don't have it either the black market trader will or the hero/bandit traders. Slayer levels have been increased and long distance kill bonuses reduced. This will be the level of updates for the time being. Both myself and the server owner are happy with how things are now, so expect little to no changes in the near future. Other than maybe, trader item/pricing updates and the odd new AI mission.. Edited December 23, 2015 by urbanskaters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haywardgb 129 Posted December 24, 2015 UPDATE: Zed Slayer level is now persistent between lives. So if you die, you take your score to the next ilfe and so on. This is stored locally, so if you use another arma profile , delete your profile or reinstall arma, you'll go back to level 0. ... You now get 0.5 , 1, 1.5 , 2, 2.5 etc per level .. Any caught abusing the system, cheating etc will have all their stats reset , with any serious cheaters being banned of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
