DayZ Zombie Mod for Arma 2 (v2)

Mr E

The old DayZ thread reached 10k, so the odometer has rolled over.

Yay second post ever OMG 2k13

Why do we need a new mod thread?

Surely it's time to start talking about the standalone?!?

ktulu123

It's just all the one really

FlyingIrishMan

The thread title can always be edited once the standalone comes out. That could be another two months, maybe even more.

is that just a two player co-op or can more join?

ktulu123

That's just two player coop, we were thinking of doing a campaign with more players though. Do you know any?

The default red Harvest is Coop. Bugged to bits tho.

Some brilliant coop missions on official forums and armaholic.

If it were me I would skip town to Turkey and piss on the border before I jumped on a plane home.

Anyone interested in playing a little Coop dayZ tonight via skype?
Help a noob out

Tried the Namalsk map for the first time yesterday. Probably my favourite map now and it's great in how unbelievably harsh it is in terms of survival (having to find warm clothes or heatpacks just to stay warm), plus the lack of food and medical supplies. The ambient background sounds/music is also great and adds a lot of tension.

yeah and we likeit. but would only use it on a big map like cherno/takistan. with they way we have the namalsk server setup its easy enough to spawn vehicles buildings as we need them. plus the fact we have it installed just didnt turn it on.

btw our ts3 server bumped up to 500 slots and its open to all.

I had the same issue, I followed this video and It's working now I guess I could uninstall ARMA 2 vanilla now but I'm not sure. as it stands though I have 8 gigs of duplicate files on my drive.

After downloading both arma 2 and OA, you need to start both games individually through steam at least once before dayz will work.
Just start each game up to the main menu, before exiting out.

That's true and you'll have to launch arma 2 OA again after you copy over the file.

I believe the error message for that particular problem is "wrong serial number given in setup" or something to that effect.

Found an awesome server, custom wep tables, added refueling at petrol stations..... the downside is that the admin is a 12 year old who can't take getting killed and to be honest hes stuck up his own hole about his server and his home made anti-hack system which I questioned and asked if he was going to put in a whitelist because anti-hack is not always that reliable to which he replied and I quote "This server is already amazing so why ruin it for a sh**ty whitelist if you dont like it piss off you f*g" ... people and their manners haha. Anyway server is EHD if you wana go check it out and/or troll.

Ive been playing wasteland fine.
I got it sorted but seems i have to launch the OA beta exe for dayz to work and launch via steam for wasteland to work, very messy.

Nothing too interesting, but nice to see that he is a lot more positive about the future of the game now.

Did it on my server a while back, although the company from which we were renting had a menu which was clunky as hell and was a right pain in the arse. Whats the name? Might log on.

Just an update on EHD server... got banned because I blew the admin base up which has 40 m107, 50 lrr etc. When I said I blew it up they claimed I was a hacker and banned me....

Think I just had the best experience in dayz! Playing Taviana with a Guy from my year and all of a sudden we see a ghillie and his mate sniping into a town so my mate snipes one and the other runs so we persue, He gets himself into a compound with one entrance so I throw a smoke about 5 m in front of him to cover my entrance and then burst fire him; 2 dead. On side channel the give co-ords of the compound (in which me and my friend are in now). Admin clan surrounds us on elevated hill with snipers but with the power of crouch a 3rd person (weak I know :P) we managed to poke out and kill everyone just with 1 cz and 1 g36c. Total kill count added to 12 bodies and 2 deserters, my nerves are gone after it.

Brilliant stuff, I miss all these stories, its exactly what drew me to the thread in the first place.

Isla Duala is working now in Dayz.

http://icebreakr.info/ makes the best maps for Arma, better than BI in some cases.

Worth downloading all of his maps tbh, they are brilliant. He had the wasteland type of idea years ago but never followed tru with it. His Jade Groove map is a futuristic Mad Max type map.

Isla Duala is the best map in Armaverse. icebreakr updated the map recently to fix some things not sure if the Dayz version has been updated to that one.

Installed it but when I join a server (3 servers I saw so far ) it says you are running an incorrect version of DAYZ_CODE (you are 1.7.4.4 and server is 1.1). DOes this mean that the server is running an old version or did i do something wrong?

Not playing at the moment (thread elsewhere on why)

but this popped up on kotaku

and perhaps its the dayz player deep inside me, but I got halfway before giving up on them.

Bandit's would completely destroy their plans. More so now that they publicly told everyone where their camp is.

Are they coming up with any knew way to prevent hackers/cheaters/scripters in the standalone? Battleye is a joke.

The mission scripts won't work at all, it now uses a more MMO based server architecture so you won't be able to spawn in weapons and stuff as everything will go through the server first, and it uses Steam VAC.
