Yeah exactly but sometimes it can work for you as you can gear up, find a map then head for some mil places as you can set markers on the map you will always find people here. Another feature it has is when you join you can join a buddy system which will spawn you near another player who also wanted a buddy.

That's pretty cool

Been watching the breaking point video of Psyi's... OMG, Epoch could be EPIC!!!

It already looks 100x better than DayZ SA tbh.

Currently though the map is too big with very little building content to fit the size. Either a smaller map or fill it with buildings and bigger player servers and it will be a winner.

Yes I've heard about Cherno+

The map is fine for A3 which an awful lot of people seem to forget. I agree though that a fresh new map that is designed from the ground up for these zombie type mods would go a long, long way!

Anyone tried any A3 coop missions lately?

Not according to most of the testers....

Lots of time spent walking through vast landscapes with barely a person to come across. There needs to be a split ground between people and long distant walking with nobody else about. Chernerus is just right

DayZero is another mod/map that comes to mind zzzzzzz

Yeah for A3 missions the map is amazing, Altis is my fav map for that. Not so much for dayz though. But hey I prefer Breaking Point to a certain other game atm

I need to join up with you and MarkeR at some point for some coop stuff or something, not done anything in ages. I still get lost on Altis though which makes it even more fun

This ^

However I found it tedious even for Arma 3, but I was never a fan of Arma 2 either oops

Shame on you

A3's detail on the map, my god sometimes you can sit and look at the terrain in the distance and stuff and it can really look like a photo.

Witcher1979 · 9 Jan 2014 at 13:28

Xcept1 did you see my failed attempt at porting Chern+ From SA? Well the map works but:

Xcept1 · 9 Jan 2014 at 13:40

Good grief, he's had better days. This is from the top of my head on how I did it as still not at my pc.

Make a new folder called @DaySA or anything you want. Within that create another called addons.

Go to your DayZ SA install\addons and copy everything apart from anything that starts with characters_ and the ui.pbo. The characters aren't rigged to work in A3 so they will **** out like the spaghetti man in your picture.

That's it I think! Start it with that new mod running and clicking editor you will see Cherno in the map list. To get other assets from other mods just run them then have fun going through and finding them in the editor!

Remember to run cba with any mods that need them.

Witcher1979 · 9 Jan 2014 at 13:54

Ahhhhh thanks m8, going to test this now. I think I left Characters in

cuffylad · 9 Jan 2014 at 13:56

I might have a play with the editor stuff tonight. So basically its possible to make your own little map/mission with the ingame editor?

You can make intro movies the lot, with the Arma engine there is nothing you can't script if you know how. Plenty of guides online as well.

This is a pic of A3 Campaign:

Thanks to Xcept1 Cherno+ From SA:

As you can see it lacks much detail compared to A3 maps.

cuffylad · 9 Jan 2014 at 14:37

nice, and can all the missions the you make be played multiplayer easily or it that a whole different ball game?

Nah easy enough to make them multiplayer m8 long as you have a good connection. You just load it as a multiplayer mission from memory. Either way it's dead easy.

Break Point horde on Cherno+

cuffylad · 9 Jan 2014 at 14:48

now they are the type of hordes I want to see in SA. What would be the best place to look for downloads of player made stuff so I can see what's possible and try them out?
