NEW DAYZ - Dayz Arma 3 Exile mod (How standalone should have been)

Probably because it was never designed to handle thousands of AI zombies in-game.

Its what is essentially a good engine that just gets knackered because people are desperate to play with terribly animated and useless zombies for some reason.

that and that you tend to have to install another 10 mods just to play on a particular server, to run around hiding and collecting guns.

Considering Day Z is one of the main reasons Arma 2 started topping the Steam charts and the success of Day Z spurred other modders to really up their game in regards to content. Naively I thought Arma 3 would really focus down on multiplayer performance/mods and AI.

I keep checking out the odd stream to see if much has changed but it's still the exact same issues that plagued Arma 2. Don't get me wrong, I had probably some of my best gaming moments through Arma 2 but I also saw the limitations of the engine.

While there's no denying what you're saying, it's still is loved by many and is more the go to game for streamers/youtubers!

Something about its clunkyness that keeps me playing!

Proper Arma fanboi am i..... Never have guessed hey :p:p

Z'ds in this imo are fantastic.

Have you got any vids showing the Z'ds actually responding to anything or how they are different on CCG?

Not doubting you, just wanted to see where it is now without paying (as I was playing the standard CCG server last night and just found it full of idiots)

As of right now the Z'd are being tweaked and worked on. Best to look at some streams and youtube videos. Changing quite a lot!
 
Surprised you haven't been streaming this Goon! Keep swinging by the Twitch channel whenever I see you load up Arma but it's always offline!

The issue at large is that Arma can, very easily cope with large numbers of AI. That's what the engine is designed to do. What it can't do is cope with inefficient scripts that naturally come with this type of design if you will. I have no doubt CCG will run well regardless of what they put on - their servers are well specced but more importantly, they keep things well organised. That's their saving grace.

Good point actually mate... I'l get it back up and streaming tonight! Had a crazy busy few weeks, just back off a stag last night! Will have it up by Friday night mate!

They're just added a new server on Esseker !
 
I am not one to pay to get access to something either lol :3 I am currently trying to port exile to a new map other than esseker. so I can start building my own version of the mod. Has anyone got any idea how to port the mode over?

Cant just steal the server files and host a server haha.

Halfway through that now, having trouble setting up the server to actually boot the game, I had it booting with no mission, put the mission in and now i can't see the server xD.

I put it on Bornholm for now, short of using that Australia map I have very small Arma terrains to workwith (mostly 60km2) that haven't been done to death.

Current mods will be play tested for about a week once up and then I will add enhanced movement and Z's :)

For lack of tone I will assume you did not read my post correctly. Does anyone have any idea how to port Exile to another map. (tutorials for example?)
Click to expand...

No, I read it correctly.

Exile itself isn't limited to only Esseker - it started on Altis I believe? To get it all working correctly you'd need to un-pbo the mod and change the classlists and arrays for loot spawn locations specific to each terrain and the building classes therein. It's a lot of work to do correctly, but can be done relatively easy if you don't mind it being messy.

BIS forums are the best place for tutorials on this sort of thing though.
 
It is a ton work, even if you do manage to get it half as good as CCG and it takes off will likely cost you a lot of money to put on things like DDOS protection! Meh personally rather just pay £3.50 to support someone who knows what they're doing, plus supports the servers :D

BJN, got my stream working mate. Will put it live tonight. However will have a long long delay on it. No doubt be stream sniped

Our base is looking awesome atm. Installed some flood lights last night as the guys were saying the NVG night time raiders were picking them off. Having the flood lights blinds the NVG users!

Gonna put some 50cals on each corner over the next weeks to take out any attack choppers that try it on!

This game man..... Wow.
 
@Goon

Is there a paypal page or donation page somewhere on the ccg website so I can have a look at this new Excile dayz?

Anyone tried Exile on Taviana yet? I've noticed there are quite a few servers popping up. Downloading Tavi now :D
Click to expand...

Tavi is the best map in the entire arma series imo... However, the server config is broken, a lot of the buildings you can walk through meaning people can wall hack!

Such a shame!!
 
I had a pretty decent play on a server with Ryan's Zombies - worked a charm but I didn't try walking through buildings, will have to have a look later.

So damn good playing tavi again though, especially with A2 weapons.
 
Myself and a friend have made an Altis Exile server if anyone is interested in checking it out. It has rhs weapons and vehicles along with cup (arma 2 ported guns).

There is ai flying around the map in helis that may or may not shoot at you / drop guys on you, ai driving around in humvees and other military vehicles which you can get and use / sell if you kill them.

There's also custom missions to do to earn quick cash / pvp.

It's called jubs exile here's the ip address 185.38.149.166:2392 and the mods needed can either be downloaded from here http://jubs.enjin.com/forum/m/34714927/viewthread/24697053-download-links or through a3launcher.
