    Hey guys, stop it, let's get back to the topic (and I thought it's gonna be closed for being request, well...).

    As I firstly noted: MMO style game with 24h server can be ruled out - no JIP, and nobody gonna fund us a server. Albeit, traffic would be very low. But, it is possible to make RPG-style campaign with full story and stats and equipment that is saved between missions, just look for Zeewolf or Faguss experiments. But I'm not sure if some scripts, simulating survival aspect of the mod, won't make trouble in MP. I can bet that such mod (even in SP) would be laggy too - some scripts seem to be "always on", like exhaustion system, or eating system. They need to "observe" player/NPCs condition all the time and decide if it's time to say bye bye or not OFP engine limitations can cause problems here (memory managing).
    Unfortunately my scripting knowledge is very limited so I'm not sure if I'm right, but it doesn't look hard to implement at least part of DayZ features into OFP mod.

    Krzychuzokecia sums it up well here. We have been making a RPG-style campaign for singleplayer in style of sandbox zombie survival and it doesn't have any problems ATM. Drinking and eating systems work great and all that, but I think it's not worth of uploading here or anything; it isn't that spectacular.

    And my two cents about the OFP defensing and why I still play it: OFP is fun to play because of the mighty fine working, straightforward gameplay mechanics, no surplus things and everything works just right supporting other elements and working strictly as a sturdy mechanism. And I guess over 10 years of playing the game has carved a special place in me, something that has just jointed and locked there forever which no other game has ever done for me. I just can't stop playing it.

    Sorry, I had to ,
    Regards.

    Addon requests belong in the addon request thread.

    If you want to talk to the DayZ devs about a port, please use their official forums.

    If you want to play zombie missions in OFP, check the user missions subforum, or sites like OFPEC.

    If you wish to make a zombie mod yourself, be sure to make a thread title without a question mark in it, and call it something other than DayZ

    Closing.
