Day Z mod for ARMA II

[Overdriven]

So do I just wait? Because I can't actually move or anything.

[LordBerenger]

There are 3 types of zombies already, 1 fast, 1 medium, 1 slow.

Overdriven, you probably spawned in the debug forest, it's what happens often if you wait for server response.

Tbh if they're not slow i'd call them infected instead of zombies but anyhow...Would've been better with all slow zombies but then you would have to make it like 1000s of zombies at once and ammo scarce as hell and only headshots would bring em down perhaps or tons of bullets in body. As well as need for food and water which would be tough to find and take.

I think once you get in debug forest you just have to reconnect/try another server. I usually just leave a server and join another when Waiting for server response starts taking too long, the chances of getting in when you and others have it is extremely small(maybe even 0).

I think I'm just going to sit in the lobby for a while, safe from everything and everybody.

Bah, new patch screwed up the temperature, loosing it so fast while running about I can't actually play as I'm always in danger of becoming infected and having a 6000 blood max now. Need to wait till he fixes this before playing more.

[Overdriven]

Just installing new patch now. They were updating the servers so got kicked out just as I was killing zombies lol.

Temperature and infections implemented in newest patch. Awesome stuff. Antibiotics etc would be very important in a realistic zombie apocalypse, now they are. And hospitals will rightly become a very valuable raiding target.

And now you can't survive by just sitting in the wilderness on the edge of the map and killing an animal now and then.

Didn't see anything in the patch notes about them changing bandit skins. I am growing very tired of this insurgent skin.

Rocket said bandit skin removal won't be until thursday.

I can't believe how fast the updates are rolling out for this mod. Anyway:

Build 1.5.8 rolling update

Changelog:

UPDATE : 21 MAY 2012
Affected addons:
* dayz_code 1.5.8
* dayz_equip 1.2.4
* dayz_sfx 1.1.2
* dayz 1.2.5
* dayz_weapons 1.1.2

Developer's Note:

* TO INTERACT WITH MOST ITEMS: YOU NOW NEED TO OPEN GEAR MENU (G) THEN RIGHT CLICK ON THE ITEM! SUCH AS BANDAGING AND EATING AND SHIT

* This is a pretty major update. I don't really know what affect the new sickness and temperature system will have on player behavior especially with antibiotics being so scarce.
* It is the genesis of an idea, so please remember this might cause havoc. You need to be careful.
* To light a fire, you need matches and wood in your inventory. Place more wood in the inventory of a fireplace to keep the fire going.
* A fire that does not have wood in it will go out when you try to light it.
* You can tell you have an infection, because your character will start coughing. The infection causes you to loose blood down to a minimum of 6000. This leaves you with reduced blood until you take antibiotics.


* [NEW] Server cleanup system replaced with a more agressive one
* [NEW] Inventory Interaction system (right-click on items in gear screen to bring up interactions)
* [NEW] Temperature System now implemented (effects are limited)
* [NEW] Chance of catching an infection the lower your temperature

* [NEW] Water can be filled in ponds, all water pumps, wells, but not the sea

Build 1.5.8.2 Hotfix
HOTFIX : 21 MAY 2012
Affected addons:
* dayz_code 1.5.8.2

Changelog:

Decrease

Survived with 98 blood left! Had somebody walk all the way from NW airfield to Rog(north of kamyshovo) just to give me 6 cooked meat and his AKM.

Where will anti-biotics spawn? I planned to walk north  of NW airfield, all the way to Petrtovka and spend my days surviving there, rather than PvPing in cherno, but with the new anti-biotic system it might become pretty harsh.

Hospitals, but they're super rare. And I love this thing!

[Phyrex]

Seems like you spawn at the fucking beach again...

Last time some asshole spammed 2 Makarov mags on me before I could even react. Had 6k blood left before I found him and shot him twice in the face with my DMR.
