Islands

Maybe create islands for run out the land because of zombies, and create ships for craft.

I have no clue what you mean Oo

Exelent idea actually.

If we're suppose to be able to build underground structures, why not be able to build structures at sea. Fucking waterworld, where we comes!!! :)

I loved it, having had a base on Skalisky Island for a while, using boats is defenently a really nice change.

I think he basically means add more islands. The problem with this is that DayZ uses the standard map. They would have to modify the map itself and have everyone download it. I was told once before that apparently when you start adding things to already large maps that they start to become unstable. Don't quote me on this.

I think he/she is trying to say, add island and craftable boats for us to get their with just in case zombies chase us off Chernarus.

Oh sorry

Ah i get ya now then. Like the idea of a new island, IMO DayZ would flourish on the biggest map imaginable. However that does mean everyone has to download it etc.. Standalone anyone? :) But yeah that sounds cool, I like the idea of boats too, would add another method of exploring in a relatively safe way

How big are the island u r suggesting?

You cant just add island to the map in ArmA2. You have to change the map file and I think its not possible in case of the chernarus map since the pbo is binarized by BIS.

On the other hand adding an oil rig (was created for ArmA) or a ship which stuck in the shallow water (not something like those two corroded wrecks at the east coast) might be doable, but still a lot of work.

There are a few islands off the coast already.

Is there a specific number you'd like?

Anyways, Day Z uses a standard ArmAII map. Adding arbitrary islands will throw off my navigational groove.
