***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

Thanks.

Also worked out the magnum bullet issue as well. The bullets were in the box... Finally worked out you have to take the bullets out of the box before you can load then in to the gun. Seems a bit over the top... but there you go.

Found a SKS, 80 rounds of ammo for it, a couple of mags for the FNX and a damaged tac optic. Going through the SW airbase and near by military base, both looked untouched (closed doors and zombies) but we only found a single M4. Is this normal. We also found the tend city at the end of the airbase had nothing apart from a mag of ammo. Again there were a few zombies so it seems unlikely it was cleared out. There was literally nothing there. Not even dropped items to make way for new items.

Oh well. My son got the M4. I have the pistol and SKS. I am now on the lookout for a long range scope & bipod for the sks and a silencer for the pistol.

Are there any camo pattern (DPM) backpacks. I could have sworn one of the people I met had one...

Thanks

Rimblock, turn your clouds on. They always travel EAST. I ran from NW corner of the map to the NEAF in a straight line earlier yesturday, didn't get lost thanks to the dayzdb map, the clouds certainly helped as my compass is damaged.

Game is good now it just really needs vehicles as it is a pain running everywhere.
 
Have they added any actual zombies yet or are there still hardly any ? No hords of 20+ chasing you ?

What about guns ? Do we still only have three ?

Nope. The Hunting backpack which is my favorite, capacity inbetween Talon and Mountain and blends in better. There is also the new craftable backpacks with the burlap sac, rope and then you can upgrade it with the sticks. That is quite subtle and also blends in better than the commercial style ones.

There are a few more Zombies in certain places, but no hordes though. They are still no threat to anyone with an axe or gun. Once server performance is optimized they'll add more. Not sure what DG meant by they are more of a threat now, although dodging them is easy so I don't get hit anymore unless its a glitch hit.

There are a few more guns; SKS, double barreled shotgun (both full sized and sawn-off when you use a hacksaw) and the Blaze 95 double rifle which fires the same ammo as the Mosin.

Because since the last patch they seem to be able to warp through walls, before last week they had to use doorways. One even came out of the floor last night to get me :rolleyes:

Oh right, can't say I've noticed that. Although one did climb some stairs the other day. So this isn't the same as the previous clipping through walls? They now warp places without travel time?
 
the wall clipping now seems worse IMO, but some definitely just appear next to me. Hopefully they are working on the AI behind the scenes, because this will need fixing before they add more zeds
 
Yeah I suspect server optimisation is one of their top priorities at the moment, so until that is sorted we won't see respawn loot or zombies, or more zombies for that matter.

I suspect the wall issue is more of a global thing as there are players who glitch through walls as well.
 
why is it proving so hard to have AI not walk through walls ? arma engine must be pretty sucky if they can't even sort something basic like that out.
 
well realistically this is only like month 3 of initial player testing, so still years to go yet.

The Arma engine really is a bizarre thing, it looks amazing yet bad in places at times, and is so horrifically 'clunky' its unreal, yet it just works for some reason! I certainly wouldn't want it replaced with any other engine but at the same time it can be infuriating.

One of its little charms I guess!

What figures are you getting with those settings mate?
I'm running an I5 2500k @4.0ghz, 8gig of ram, 580gtx, intel 160gig ssd

Game is installed to the SSD and I understand you have a better card than me but my 580gtx isn't exactly slow, specially as I thought this game is CPU bound 95% of the time
With everything on normal or trying a mixture of normal and high, I struggle to get anything over a slide show around citys. With you settings I bet I'd even get spikes down to 30-40 fps out in the forests.

I'm getting 40(ish) fps on the highest graphic settings.
 
I have almost exactly the same spec as you Roeg1 except a smaller SSD, my only slow down is in cities with a bunch of people around but it's still very fluid and playable. Looks very impressive tbh!
 
he said 6 months until vehicles and bases building would be introduced 1 month ago.


anyone want to help make a video :D

i need as many as possible. have a great idea you don't need to have any guns or loot can be new spawns. its going to be tricky so many will die doing it :D

if we pull it off it will be epic though. will be trying it tomorrow :p

Where did he give a timescale? must have missed that. Edit: Here it is: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/commen...et_hall_creator_of_dayz_and/cevynqz?context=3 (Although it is very vague as to what aspects will be 6 months out of the list that the user gave). Either way it will be vehicles first and base building later from what I remember as it is more complex. Should see barricades before that though.

Sure I'm up for it. Add me on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/speedsurfer

Will look at the settings for clouds when I get home, thanks.

I usually have a pretty good sense of direction in reality but in this game it sucks big time... I keep getting lost and have to find a village and signpost to work out where I am.

If the Zombies going through walls was sorted out it would be a pretty good game. We hid upstairs in a building as we knew the zombies cannot climb stairs during the logout 'grace period'.

Dont rely on them not climbing stairs any longer, I was in the building with the piano lant night and a zombie ran up the stairs and started battering me while I was playing loot tetris
