Yeah, but I dont know if its a bug of the map, server or Dayz but I couldnt get the "Gut animal" message to stay on the screen long enough to preform the action.

The map over all is very limited on Residential loot. I hadnt found matches, luckily another gafer had and thats when we tried to get some steaks.


And some new info on the pending 1.7.3 update.

Hi folks, the community team have been working extremely hard on testing and including some additional fixes.

There is a huge amount of new people on board, including talented people from teams such as the DayZ Redux and SurviveDayZ (to name only a few). They are doing an amazing effort, assisted by Ander and some other really committed team members.

Please be patient, I'm going to lock the thread for the moment so everyone see's this information. As this is the first community generated update, timeframes are very open - I don't know when it will be released but I am talking with them all about this.

New guns, new guns, new guns, guns guns guns oh and vehicles but really new guns!!! Im crossing my fingers for more guns. Really some new content would help spice up DayZ a bit.

 

[TommyT]

Have you guys tried Namalsk yet? Honestly looks kind of creepy, which I think is what DayZ needs.

The map is pretty crazy. The environment is rough, nourishment is limited, the AMBIENT NOISE... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

The worst isn't the Predator-like noise that is a woodpecker, it's the little ghost-sounding kids going "Run away!" or "Help us!".

 

[ZenVolta]

I hear those kids yelling, never going to help them....ever.

Final changlog for 1.7.3(These were the only things I saw that differed from the first on I posted)

* [UPDATED] ItemWire reduced from 0.06 to 0.01
* [UPDATED] PartEngine updated from 0.01 to 0.06
* [UPDATED] Version info is now displayed correct
* [NEW] New Combat System If you fire a weapon, then you go into combat. During combat, "ABORT" is disabled. (Need to look at the effects with high player counts)
* [NEW] HiveEXT.dll now replaced with our new version.
* [NEW] Official Hive login is now hard coded into the .dll
* [NEW] New Hive can now set ingame time to custom, local(local server time), static

More engines and less barb wire. Custom server times! Bring on the 24/7 Dusk servers!

 

[RyanDG]

24/7 dusk servers would be nice... Was there an update as to when this was going to be up?

 

[ZenVolta]

Not yet sadly. Although the guy thats working on Namalsk said that hes going to update the map whenever the new update comes out. So thats pretty cool.

So with the whole abort thing, how does that change alt+f4?

 

[ZenVolta]

If you ALT+F4 your body stays? If they wanted to they can set it up so if you ALT+F4 while in "combat" then the game will kill you.

[NEW] New Combat System If you fire a weapon, someone fires a weapon near you, or a bullet/object impacts near you, then you go into combat. During combat, "ABORT" is disabled. If you ALT-F4/close anyway, your character is considered "combat logged" and instantly killed and leaves a body.

They said it wont kill you...yet. But Im guessing it leaves your body for the full timer of a normal shutdown or something.


Edit: The above is true. But right now if you "combat log" then it logs it to the server files. So admins can ban you if they wish. AKA until they implement the death penalty no ones going to care lol

 

[NH Apache]

So with the whole abort thing, how does that change alt+f4?

Nothing yet. They haven't implemented the auto kill associated with disconnecting while in combat. That is the plan, however.

Edit: Beaten.

You get your new weapons, Zen? I didn't catch that in the update.

Edit2:

[NEW] Alt-f4 is now locked and will only open your status menu.

 

[ZenVolta]

Doesnt look like it =(. I sent a PM to R4Z0R49 in hopes of seducing him so he would add some. Havent heard back lol

Iv been looking through arma2s weapon list. Most of the guns share ammo with guns that are already in the mod. So adding them wouldnt mess up the loot tables. With Mods like Rmod the loot tables gets messed up since with more guns using only one type of ammo the balance gets shifted around.

Meh, the patch isnt out yet. THERES STILL TIME R4Z0R49!!

Edit: Checked the backup server and there isn't a Dayz portion.

Anyone on?

Maybe we should mass email him. I'd love a few new weapons in the mix.

Iv been wanting to play. But I didnt want to just screw around(thats all I do when I DayZ alone).

Should we just take over another mumble?

Well damn. Isn't working for me either. I guess we need a new. So you guys want to use the main GAF DayZ mumble or start fresh with a new mumble and keep it private?

Yes

What's his email or where can I find it?

 

[ZenVolta]

J, I just clicked his name on the DayZ forums and sent him a PM.

And I dont know of any other mumbles we could use.

 

[NH Apache]

Sent you two pms. Use the backup serer info. I'm in Battlefield -3

[ToyMachine228]

Downloading and installing all the Day Z stuff right now. Will be the first time I've ever played. I'm getting the BattleEye not initialized error. Trying to fix it...Looking forward to playing the game for myself after hearing so much about it.

 

[littleworm]

Someone send me the info for the back up mumble.

 

[blitzcloud]

why did no one try to get into the actionmmowhichweusedtoplay mumble?

I mean sure the dota2 guys went there lol.

 

[ZenVolta]

update...

Update...no update.

That is all

 

[J-Rock]

Well damn... Panthera is pretty cool. We had a good run on that map tonight.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Well damn... Panthera is pretty cool. We had a good run on that map tonight.

I really need to try this map again. I tried it the day it was released with no dayzdb map or anything and far out I got lost in the mountains lol. Spent about 4hours running as high as I could to try see which way would head towards the main city, couldn't see shit -.-

Then I slid and broke my leg.

 

[NH Apache]

Had a lot of fun on Panthera last night. Desert, mountains, forest. Lots of animals too.

I wanted to fly that biplane sooo bad.

Does anyone have a favorite stream they watch on twitch/other? I usually have one on while I work and end up picking random ones.

Also, Yellow.

 

[ZenVolta]

Looking at the Panthera map, not sure what I think about the lack of anything in the middle. Guess you could make camps out there of something. Seems like a good map for some Deer stands.

If they could incorporate deer stands or the towers from Nemalsk, that would be awesome. You could get some crazy sightlines if done.

I really like TPC, he just swears too much to have on at the workplace lol. Managed to find the recording of the survivor games: http://www.twitch.tv/qngaming/b/337106416

Go to 31:00 for the actual start.

 

[ZenVolta]

Update is out on DayZ Commander right now. Most servers havent updated so Id wait for them to catch up.

Found the Forum post.

That's just what we did.

OHSHITUPDATEITOUT!!!

 

[blitzcloud]

so we basically lost our camp. That's what i'd venture when people update the servers and wipe.

 

[ZenVolta]

Looks like most servers havent updated yet.

Yeah. Also, you got some drama over there huh? I don't understand his argument that they don't belong in Dayz.

I'm guessing it'll take a couple hours for ours to update.

Do they wipe on updates?

 

[ZenVolta]

New DB files. So they might have to

 

[Starfish_Oxide]

Ye guys still on the mumble these days?

 

[ZenVolta]

Gotta join the back up mumble

 

[ToyMachine228]

Every time I get in a game, I just get stuck on "waiting for character to create". Eventually it just changes to "Loading". This is the first time I've tried to play Day Z. What's going on?

Are you using dayz commander? That's usually indicative of having the wrong dayz or arma2 or version of map. Use the filters on the left to filter out bad versions, except for arma 2. You can usually get away with a newer version of arma 2 than required.

The original one? It still shows as down for me unless you made a new one.

 

[ToyMachine228]

So I can't seem to find the GAF server from the OT when I type GAF into the filter. Am I missing something?

 

[littleworm]

I could use a PM as well.


Also the GAF server is gone, we just kinda migrate around now.
