DayZ Zombie RPG (Unofficial Mod) Alpha

[Celery]

The problem is not the Zombies.
The biggest pain in the ass is the friggin' retard player who will shoot you (on back) just for having fun-while
you already spend 2+hours to build a decent loadout for survival.

"You don't have to kill someone to take what you need-you can ask nicely for what you need"

Perhaps take that aspect as a part of the survival experience instead of a separate nuisance? Those kinds of situations were taken into account in the making of the mod so that you wouldn't take help from others for granted. The only goal at the moment is to survive the longest, afterall, and everyone else is at least an indirect competitor.

The mod itself is already causing lots of RPT error messages when you just start the game.
As a modder a first rule should be, keep the RPT clean yourself.....

But... technically it is far far away from being really good....

I was sure I read something about "alpha version" here somewhere. I'm sure this is not to excuse the author and the mod's errors. But it means something like "You can play with it, but dont expect an error free version." Its ok to have errors in this, corze the point is to find them! And to check each functionality, feature and what ever. And to eliminate those errors of course.

"Alpha software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss..."

Since the BIS Guys themselves working on this, I'm pretty sure they will elimitnate most of the errors soon. And when they ask for RPT's here, its more like troubleshooting, fault collection or so.

How to make a vehicle? Found lots of parts

[-=Grunt=-]

I somehow can't see or hear anyone in Direct Communication channel, is there a way to fix this?

[_Zen_]

Hi,

it seems repairing a vehicle is still bugged, i tried several times to get wheels on a UAZ and it didn´t work.
I jacked up the car and it says i had repaired a wheel but theres no wheel showing up on the car.

I hope you´ll fix it soon

You know that Direct is "positional" right? Just like in real life you can't hear someone talk if they are a mile away. You'll only hear and be heard by those relatively close to you.

CRAZY PLEA WITH THE COMMUNITY!!!!!

Would someone PLEASE start a west coast server in the US? Not only would it help my cruddy ping but it would be nice to play on a server synced to MY daylight/nighttime! Hell, put up a paypal donation link somewhere and I'll throw a few dollars in it, if that's what it takes?

The US 1 & US 2 Servers may be synced to the west coast to give a more realistic time sync feel for both central and eastern as it gets dark, as far as ping US 1 & 2 can't help there. Box is located in Dallas. :P but yes we do need a west coast, east and central are now covered.

I've to say that this is one of the best mod i ever played, there's a reason if all the servers are full!
Meaby you have to work on a bunch of things:
- Zombie running speed (they are too much fast, almost unrealistic)
- Zombie spawning (the thing that zombies will respawn, even if you are inside their respawn point, makes hard for players to find a "home")
- Build\barricade system (it will be AWESOME if players can actually build up walls, fences and other things by collecting junks, other than just place a tend and a campfire)
- Crossbow with scopes

The problem is at night time. You have to use some sort of light source to get anywhere. Players walking around with flares, flaslights or chemlights are easy targets for the grifers, when they just camp around in the dark near the big towns.

We where a group of 10 people walking in to Cherna, many carring flares and chems. We got killed by one guy far out in the dark with some kind of auto weapon, that take some of the fun out of it.

A couple of suggestions:

-remove all scoped weapons from the mod, then atleast they have to be somewhat close to kill you.
-Place more burning barrels, tires and campfires along the roads, shore line and in the big cities, then it want be so simple to spot players when they don't have to move around with flares all the time. (maybe not viable for framrate reasons?)

I would have to agree with this.... lighting is a major problem... even in zombie movie's you see alot of lighting in major cities like burning Barrels or burning buildings to get the light effect without putting the game play out of its realistic type of game. As for the zombies numbers... right now our new server in OZ had around 900 zombies and 69 Players on it.... and at that time the server was running really well.... the only problem we had was the ppl joining the server with overseas players joining the server with a 800 ping.
You will have to remember that DayZ is only new and the Server admins and mod designers will eventually tune it in to what they are satisfied with to make this mod a great game to play.
