magmatrix 38 Posted July 27, 2012 Date/Time: 2012-07-27 04:50 GMT+2What happened: Was in a barn in Novy, was shot at, checked the map and to my surprise i see two guys as yellow dots with arrows on the map, moving around. I ran and hide, and a few minutes later i realized that they could see me too (even though i didn't move or make any sound). Was shot, probably through the wall.Where you were: Novy SoborWhat you were doing: Looting*Current installed version: 1.7.2.3*Server(s) you were on: some DE*Your system specs: *Timeline of events before/after error: nothing special Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PixelPorn 1 Posted August 1, 2012 If you don't name a server then the server was probably on "Recruit" mode. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pepe.lp 0 Posted August 15, 2012 if your character has caught sight of another person, zombie or vehicle even if you don't see it , it will appear on the map. its the LOS rule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0xdecafbad 0 Posted August 17, 2012 It's due to the settings in the arma 2 profile file on the server that sets the different difficulty related settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CombatWombat (DayZ) 63 Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) The yellow dots you saw on your map would of been zombies and they would of been there because you were playing on a recruit server, which is why you probably don't always get this kind of thing all the time. As for you being shot, some players probably saw you on their map, and depending on what kind of cover your hiding behind a sniper rifle can generally penetrate it.

jonnyzero 0 Posted August 20, 2012 yellow dotz are zombies.players are seen in blueYep - this is correct. On some servers you can see yourself on a map as a blue dot. That means if your character sees someone else, they'll also be blue on the map.Yellow is definitely zeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
