New DayZMaps and Already completed Maps by DayZPlanet

[Lee-Vilayer 51]

Hello Everyone,

Just to clear up the massive mess that has been caused by the past few days (Not willing to rub salt into the wounds of other people) i thought it would be a good idea to state what maps we have completed and what maps are currently being worked on.

I also wanted to state the reason as to why we are doing the maps and the new features that are possibly getting brought into the game.

The maps that are already released that are currently active are,

Takistan

Fallujah

Utes

Zargabad

Panthera (Currently working with other Panthera developer to ensure proper release)

The maps that are currently fully working but yet waiting for release are,

Baghdad

Dingor

Emita City

Everon

Huertgenwald

Isla de Pollo

Islad Duala

Island Cicada

Island Of Nicosia

Kellu Island

Ovaron Island

All of these maps are currently the ones that have been requested the most by the community however, due to recent dispute they are not going to be released without the map makers decision.

I understand that some of these maps may have been released on other forums from other DayZMod makers. Due to the nature of the community currently i am asking for those mod makers to contact me on the details below.

More maps are in the timeline of which i am not willing to release this information until we confirm that they are in creation 100% and that the current community is willing to back them.

The idea behind DayZPlanet and the reason as to why we are releasing these maps is simple, We are going to release the server mod which will hopefully allow people to travel between the maps within the game further more creating a new venture into the mod.

This will also allow people to join communities and servers together.

There is going to be a new global hive of which people have the choice to join or not to join, the website is currently under development and will be released within the next month or so.

The new website will offer stats and ranks that will give people a real insight as to what happens within the game.

I do not want any form of argument with anyone here, all i am trying to do is bring the community a new form of DayZ Mod.

All i wanted to do was clear things up and i hope that this post does so.

Hi Lee,

I have a few questions regarding the above and related issues. I'm sure others would be interested in the answers too.

Will you release the .bikey files for the above new maps so that people that aren't part of the DayZ Planet hive (and don't want to use viLayer as a host) can run servers for them?

What is the relationship between viLayer and DayZ Planet? (The Panthera release is internally marked as being from www.vilayer.com. But if you ask viLayer staff for the Panther .bikey's they simply say that viLayer did not do the mod and to talk to DayZ Planet.)

How do I contact DayZ Planet, and when will you or them or viLayer release the Panthera .bikey?

Speaking of the other Panthera DayZ author, did you, viLayer or DayZ Planet copy his work?

Ian,

The server keys have already been released to the maker of @Bliss

DayZPlanet is another community that I (The owner of Vilayer) has created for the pure purpose of building new mods and new features for the game.

Vilayer and DayZPlanet are not joined by the hip, Just that DayZPlanet is getting funded by Vilayer that is all.

I wanted to Also create a new place of which people can download and acquire the mods and packages that we are going to release.

The new website has the stats of which this has to come from the DayZPlanet hive.

One thing i really wanted everyone to be clear on here,

The reason as to why I did not release the keys was because of some simple facts,

People have stated it's because Vilayer wants to own the world etc...

Vilayer wants to be the monopolistic game host etc...

This is completely, and couldn't be any further away from the truth,

We didn't release the keys because we were not ready to allow people to connect to our public hive or to run the mod.

My idea was simple,

I wanted to give everyone the ability to join the new public hive (Free of charge) of which we have created.

There were a number of issues that had to be addressed before releasing the dll file that allows you to connect to our public hive.

Also we had no way to give everyone the files to host the servers in more steady stream.

All i want more than anything is for everyone have a good time and a good laugh on DayZ (Lets remember that this is a game!), I didn't mean for any of these issue to take place however with the current community as i have stated there is a huge conspicuous attitude from people that have made my job even harder.

I am willing to do what ever it takes to make a stable release of the mod.

There are some other issues of which i can-not go into (Security Reasons) that prevented me from being able to release the keys however I fully understand the implications of this action and i fully understand why users are angry with my decision.

I have released the keys now and corrected some of the other code.

Soon enough i will be releasing the new dll and new site to allow people to automatically connect to our public hive or allow users to download the files to create their own hive.

It's upto you guys at the end of the day :)

Private Hive Forum...

[byrgesen 1341]

Thx for picking a name so close to ours......... People are bithcing about your crap on our forums now.

Pleace clarify we have nothing to do with each other mate.

Pl@net DayZ has nothing to do with DayZPlanet and Vilayer......

[avid_gamer 132]

From my understanding... DayZ Planet has been in the works from day 1 of the DayZ MOD release.

The fact that similar names have been chosen is not a OMG moment in my opinion.

GET OVER YOURSELF.

DayZ Planet has created content for the end user... Currently DayZ Planet offers the community 5 additional maps above the 2 that have been offered by the rest of the community.

And calling something "crap" that is giving more content to the community show's your lack of concern about the DayZ Community and more about your own selfish agenda.

every thread i read this guy above is always in them, mr busy body.

I have 68 posts in this community... you have 269... seems you are more busy than I sir.

I don't like the constant misinformation trend that has started up in these forums recently.

Far too many people are being given false information, far too many people are flat out telling large BS stories to try to bash one group or another.

The guys who are helping the community are going to get my support... the ones with their own agenda, and with no regard for the community will get my backlash... nothing more... nothing less.

Actually it's not a selfish agenda. They don't make money from it, they do it because they want to contribute to the community, something you've just said you're a fan of. I happen to know the guys well over at Planet-DayZ and the forums have recently been getting complaints from confused users mistaking the Planet-DayZ forum for the DayZ Planet complaints department. That was all he was referring to, nothing else, so hop off your high horse before your next post please.

Thank you VERY much for misunderstanding my post mate.

The "crap" im refering to, is people complaining about vilayer (yes many actually are lol), not the fact they are "stealing" codes editing it and calling it theyre own....

Even though that could be called crap aswell.

I dont care what they can offer, when they steal other peoples work and call it theyre own, i dont wanna support it in ANY way.

Basicly thats why i wanted to clarify this.

Coz people came to us to complain about all the BS Vilayers have. We dont like that tbh...

And it would seems like you dont understand we dont like that lol..

And another thing, im 100% sure DayZPlanet has NOT been on the Vilayer page since day one. But that dosnt matter tbh.

I just dont want people to think we are Vilayer or DayZPlanet, and come complain to us about everything thats wrong.

I am just hoping for Vilayer to actually give credit where its due and to not take open source and edit it and call it theyre own.

That exact move is not very community minded tbh. Seeing as all other people working on the mod, share and build it together lol.

Theres have simply been to much BS with Vilayer, from reading around, to not speak up when people are confusing us.

We are NOT Vilayer and will never be....

EDIT:

I am also wondering why Vilayer even wanna create a new "Public HIVE" when they know its gonna get flooded by hackers, like the official HIVE.

What can they do, the official source cant?

Without password and whitelist, we are just gonna have another mega HIVE, filled with hackers and scripters.

@Lee-Vilayer

I appreciate your work and it is nice to see that someone invested so much time but i dont like that the convertet Maps have the BigFat "DayZPlanet" or "Vilayer" emblem. Advertising is ok but it would be better if you show the Credits for the original Map makers and turn your advertising real small. Because of the massive advertising and that you dont give the real Mapmakers the Spotlight it look like stolen work! It seems insensitive and self-centered and it feels like that you use others people work as Trojan Horse for your company.

Don´t get me wrong but sometimes you have step back!

And chose another Name Planet DayZ is pissed, and they are right! This looks the second time that you don´t care.

A VERY good point, whats up with all the "trademarks" posted all over somebody elses work?

Have you actually talked to the creators of the maps and asked if it was ok? Or dont you care about the people contributing to the Arma community?

I understand Vilayer are "porting" them to DayZ, but come on... You arent creating anything, you are taking other peoples work, editing a couple of lines, pasting in some more lines and putting a big fat "Vilayer" or "DayZPlanet" logo on it. WTF?

That is a shitty move, when you are trying to convince people, you arent a bad company. Give credit where its due, create a github repo and share your fricking development, like everybody else are.

What you are doing is a "slap in the face" of the developers of DayZ, Arma & the custom maps.

Cmon man.... Act like a responsible company and start to contribute, insted of holding it all back and "trademarking" all of it lol.

And yes, i know you just released the Takistan key to Bliss, ladida. You should have done that a long time ago, so the people on github could have helped with the development.

We all know your setup is based on Bliss, yet another thing you arent giving credit too...

So please please give credit where its due... You arent creating anything, you are porting maps to dayz...

Go ahead and create your own map from scratch, and then put your trademark all over it, but its a shit move to do on somebody elses work tbh.... And stop making open source software, into closed source lol. Release your development so the people in the community can help with it. That exactly, right there, is Monopolization.

The term monopolization refers to an offense under Section 2 of the American Sherman Antitrust Act, passed in 1890. Section 2 states that any person "who shall monopolize . . . any part of the trade or commerce among the several states, or with foreign nations shall be deemed guilty of a felony." Section 2 also forbids "attempts to monopolize" and "conspiracies to monopolize."
