My attempt to spice up the gameplay.

Starting gear rag is alcohol purified

GENERAL SETTINGS

   and you can craft it only in workbench

curing bleeding with alcohol purified rags need also 1 antibiotic

[Irish. 4886]

No killing others without going to jail for life.

[kopo79 426]

just for now im thinking that guns should only pickable from policestations and militaryareas or if someone gives gun.craftable weapons should be allowed.
also thinking how im gonna set character sprinting/fire making/eating....

EDIT(bad english):D

EDIT(bad english):D

I'd say, do it the other way around. It's way easier to get a working, high caliber gun from a military base. Also, probably the best gun you will get is a Mosin, Winchester, B95, 1911 or MP5, maybe a SKS if you're lucky. That will provide a nice challenge.

[kopo79 426]

yeah...im thinking that there is too much guns spawning on residental houses...there should be more common stuff.
skalisty/prison island would be only difference....you can take whatever you find there

Damn, now I see the meaning of the OP. Own rules and regulations for a journey through Chernarus. 14kg I find relatively low .. up to 20kg. I do not want to interfere, but the idea behind it I find nice. What can still be gained today on a voluntary basis, this will be something to do with final SA and access to CLI.

[kopo79 426]

yeah...im not sure about that 14 kg but in steam board i got it.

 

Quote

Max inventory weight (excluding clothes, but including backpack) - 14 kg / 30 lbs male character, 12 kg / 26 lbs female character. Why so? Because from my real fighting experience this is the maximum load under which one can still sprint for any prolonged period of time and still be effective enough during melee or gunfight.

Without clothings/shoes ^^, yes then make it sense.

[kopo79 426]

i have to got calculator to calculate the weight of my schoolbag when im gonna start my 1 hour survival experience.dead by dawn!
i really dont want everything to be in rules but gamer should understand by itself that cooking pot doesnt fit on your panties:D

[Sqeezorz 839]

I have now looked once what weight I have worn in my military time. On the hikes (up to 50km) was the completely 22kg. But that was only with walking and without running. In the combat was light equipment which was on completely about 12kg. And yes the cookingpot is never in the  pants but rather the  pants. ... that was the clac-clic-clac while walking.

I have search my old military reglementation-book with details to weight.

Edit: the max. weight are 34kg thats with all stuff to beginn and at the end to the "military hollydays". ( its really a lot of, for walking and to travel).

Do not eat raw rice...to simulate proper rice cooking,fire and cookingpot full with water should do it.

Rice cannot be cooked, as of a couple weeks ago when I last tried.  It will just get damaged or ruined when you put it in a pot of water over heat.

[kopo79 426]

just tested with my settings....outs:D...that temptation to get that apple....and to make stoneknife....i have little stone(metal,glass) but need to find place where i can craft knife but....
dayztv server is 8x acceleration so its making surviving quite hard.
played 1 hour=
forced to eat damaged spagetti and damaged peaches...forced to eat black berrys(oh,is those poisonous?!:D)
also rain caucht me in middle of night,so i was almost killed by cold...im sleeping now but tomorrow gonna be maybe my last minutes.

really first time using chemlight,because i need find knife and fast.
im sick,hungry,thirsty and lonely.

[kopo79 426]

and dead:D

[kopo79 426]

managed to survive my first  night...it was quite hard because lack food and drink...but machete saved my night.
i catched chicken and grilled it in fire.fire i made with roadflare.
but now i dont have any firesource so i have to go in woods maybe to find dry wood.
chicken didnt fill my stomach enough and on my way on to second town i was again trouble but i found apple orchard/farm....
stuffed myself with apples:)
also i tried to play night with gamma down a bit.i think it was four mouse cursor wide to left.
in night,cant see shit but with chemlight and headtorch it was actually quite fun.

 

 

[kopo79 426]

Oh my god...i met someone other player...HE DIDNT SHOOT!!!!...he was full geared.thank god.

[kopo79 426]

got to change setting that you cannot use damaged items....because my machete just went from pristine to damaged in one night in-game.
so clothes/backpacks/tents/barrels have to be pristine or worn.you may use damaged items but you cannot  pick up those.
maybe:D
also have to test how long raincoat last when its damaged.
also have to concider how you gonna fit cooking pot on your raincoat....maybe you should consume one rag to simulate that you are attaching pot to your coat or jeans.

I like this thread, you have folks that play dayz, then you have folks that play dayz.

[Sqeezorz 839]

Maybe this helps you to "rethink": the better clothes / container so is its content. Pristine pants 4/4 damaged 2/4. A damaged knife/axe gives you only 50% material (instead of 3 sticks only 1 or 2 ---> rest you have to throw away to simulate it). Here a picture to show you what I think:

( point 3/4/7 is the consideration )

Throw away everything you wear. Everything up on shoes / hose / jacket and you can 10min. Full running. (Content of the clothes to be let ... the time to throw away is not you anymore, I think you have not 8 big stones stacked in your jacket ^^ otherwise you are the wolf from the 7 goats [the broders Grimm])

[kopo79 426]

Night descends....Looting without light in a pitch dark is hell.only light is my roadflare but wanna save it to make fire.

 

[kopo79 426]

little more challenge...apples only from southern coast applefarms.
you can collect bullets from everywhere.
and you cant sprint when heavy breathing but throw your gear away and sprint 5 minutes like a madman.

[Sqeezorz 839]

The topic here brings me to a strange idea. Veteran Server hives with different degrees of difficulty.

1) veteran-casual (3pp/ 2x casual loot & food-drinks / moderate infected / "not more weapon & ammo !" / easy-to-moderate character values and influences [energy/sickness/temperatures and more])

2) veteran-hardcore (3pp/ cli and character values/influences more strong i.e. stand of game now or a little bit harder)

3) veteran-nightmare. (1pp / very less food & drinks / strange & many infected / hight influences of all world values i.e. rain/temeratures / rare weapons or ammo --> CLI table have many important items at a deep value... in short words --> the real hell to survive [ hope on fix the appletrees ^^] )

This should be by BI with cle and character parameters a simple thing.

Crazy idea .. I have also slept little that night, forgive me.
