Thx. =)

Is it possible to create a confirmation dialog (do you want to open this, yes/no?) for the "Server Control" button in lobby? Or is it only specific to Arma 2 UI/BattlEye protection and cannot be changed?

I got kicked twice for script restriction because my Steam overlay was laid out so that when I was chatting and quit the overlay quickly, I accidentally pressed the "Server Control" button in lobby. This happened when I was entering the EU server and when I was leaving it.

I think I am just gonna change how I use the Steam overlay but a confirmation dialog like this would still be useful I think.

Contests

In celebration of the EU Server being turned up, I'd like to run two contests to further my desire for youtube videos! The concept and rules are simple.

This is not an EU only contest, but a mod wide one. One reward is given out for the entirety of the mod. Not 1 per server.

[ Contest #1 ]

I'd like for someone to create a short "promo" video for DayZ Redux and what it's all about. Something I can include on the DayZRedux website and otherwise try and entice people to play the mod with. Ideally, I'd like to send it to a few popular streamers and hope they play (and churn out more videos! :D) It should demonstrate some of the unique aspects of the mod (combat logging, chloroform, etc.) and talk about the goal of the mod being to bring DayZ back for the purists who don't want gold AKs and 200 vehicles.

If I pick your video, I will give you...

-A Coyote Backpack (24-slot)

-Any legitimately obtainable weapon of your choice with 2 mags (legit to the mod, not vanilla DayZ) to put in the bag

[ Contest #2 ]

I haven't seen many stories about hilarious or creative stuff going on with chloroform. Show a clip if chloroform being used in a funny or creative way (anywhere from a hero being cautious for his own protection to a bandit screwing with someone).

If I pick your video, I will give you...

-A 2 seater vehicle of your choice (Motorcycle, ATV, or Hilux)

-The vehicle will come with your choice of 2x GPS -or- 1x Rangefinder -or- 1x Night Vision Goggles

---

Both contests end Friday, October 19th @ 23:59 GMT-5

I've never even found any chloroform yet, don't even have a clue where it spawns tbh Vent.

[venthos 605]

Chloroform is a rare spawn out of Hospitals. So, Cherno's two hospitals and two hospital tents, Elektro's hospital, and Berizino's hospital are your targets for obtaining it.

I figured that would probably be the case but I've never come across one yet, I'll keep looking.

Although saying that I have no means of recording footage apart from the free 30 seconds or whatever it is with Fraps, unless anyone knows of any good free alternatives?

[ghost_kage 5]

This looks amazing. I've downloaded the mod and sent you a personal message. Can't wait to play!

Despite the forum lag, your post will be submitted when you click "Post" ;)

No problem. =) You did not run away from there, too. =))

I am going to try and limit my posts to this thread from now on to changelog/version updates. The poor performance of dayzmod.com has rendered these forums a chore to post/reply to. It eats up a solid 5+ minutes to reply to a single PM. DayZ Redux now has our own forums up just for this mod. Please try and shift all discussions related to DayZ Redux to that forums. Thanks!

The free version of bandicam allows up to 10 minutes of a single recording including a logo.

Cheers for that, I'll check it out.

A little taste of what I have in mind for ChernarusRedux can be found on the new forums

Thx for the forum and EU server Venthos. I had fun yesterday, it felt like real post-apocalyptic world ... things are not easy to find and I like that. Killed three people and helped one player to get back on feet after he was attacked with a hatchet and got broken bones and low on blood.

[tommes 331]

Venthos, there's no installation instructions on your page. Had to point a buddy to this thread here for it.

[venthos 605]

Noted. Installation instructions copied on over to the forums.

Try MSI afterburner http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm ... It's free and good.

Mod looks interesting, but I don't like a bunch of weapons being removed without adding new ones. Makes it feel like there's a lot less variety to choose from.

Once new weapons are added to replace the ones taken out, I'll give it a shot.

[venthos 605]

You may be looking at the wrong mod, then. There's a lot of mods out there who are all about adding every vehicle/weapon they can copy/paste out of ARMA into DayZ to the point you wonder why they don't just play ARMA itself. This mod is pretty much the antithesis of that.

If you're looking for crazy weapons and tons of weapon variety, this mod will likely never satisfy what you're looking for. I do plan to add a few guns in, but they're not "to make up for guns being removed" or anything like that. They're just guns I think make sense to balance out the fact that nobody uses any other assault rifles once they get an M4A1/M4A3 CCO

I don't think it makes sense for DayZ to be a weapon carnival where there are 40 guns t choose from. I think limited gun types makes more sense.

What the asshole was near Grishino at 16:30 today?! I did not kill him, he said that he was a friendly, I gave him a rifle, and that bitch shot me in the head then :lol:

Agreed, and limit the ammo too. Try to make the player think twice before pulling the trigger.

Just found the coyota someone parked east of cherno in the woods. Drove it through Cherno and crashed wheels by running over some dead bodies near Balota. Blew the thing with one of he Frags in it's gear. So don't look for it there. US server btw.

I think you misunderstood my post. I don't care about not having awesome tacticool military weapons, and I don't mind the ones that already exist being removed. Just a few more civilian weapons would do. Currently there are:

Three shotguns (technically the WInchester is a rifle)

Eight M4/M16 variants (one removed)

Four AK variants

Seven sidearms

L85(removed)

Three submachineguns (one removed)

Winchester

Lee Enfield

FN FAL

Crossbow

Seven marksman/sniper rifles (five removed)

Three LMGs (one removed)

Two melee weapons

One rocket launcher (presumed removed)

Total remaining weapons: 33

Weapons that are or are derived from the M16/M4 and AK: 11

The AKs and M16s/M4s take up a third of the remaining weapon pool in DayZ. This leaves a very bland variety of guns to choose from. What I suggested was that more civilian weapons would be nice, and possibly have a few of the AKs and M4s shaved off as well.

What happened yesterday evening on EU server:

Met with 3 of my friends in Cherno run to Stary from there to Prud lake then to NWAF. One of my friends stole ambulance from south barracks, while somebody was still sitting inside. Then we killed him (maybe he hoped we won't notice him), looted him and disappeared in the woods. Once we thought it save to stop we stopped and eat. Then we wanted to go pick up one of our friend and while we were driving someone started shooting at us. He destroyed front wheels so we had to stop. We got out to get him but I think he was new to the game because he threw grenade at us but not far away from him and killed himself ..... Unlucky (won't name you) ... If you would use that nade properly you would kill us all :).

As well we tried for first time Chloroform which we found in ambulance, I will post video later on.
