Could you please add the combine mags from the new days patch.

DayZ patch*
And also, he's gonna have to wait for DayZ 2017 to update to DayZ 1.7.7.1's code first before he can update this mod.

Changelog for the upcoming update (v2.3) :
fixed random tents (they now spawn)
fixed bandits sitting at camps and not reacting to gunfires
fixed some vehicles spawning without damages
fixed helicrash loot spawn (it'll be worth to look for that chopper!)

@Exen44 :
I totally agree with you about the realism script and the guy layin' down : the idea behind this script is nice, but it is poorly handled in game. I'll deactivate those animations and see if it's possible to have something like the hunger going down twice as fast when tired.
Also, about the "remove" option, do you mean it doesn't pop up or it doesn't work?

It just doesn't pop up at all.

So i spawned my self in a heli flew around the whole map looking for bandit camps and vehicles and only manage to find a plane and some white car (could be one of those troll cars).

Any hints as to where to find these bandit camps and cars?

I won't give infos on the forum, but if you really wanna find the camps, I suggest flying at night - they'll be easier to spot. As for vehicles, most of them randomly spawn in towns - so their locations will change each time you restart : meaning that I can't give a "sure" location :/

How long does it take to get from day to night?

Sup Haleks, maybe you can help me out real quick with NPC_AlertZombies.sqf. I got private little map goin on Utes with most of Haleks and Aboves code. It's basically Factions/Breakingpoint with fog, bandits/cars/helis, the works. The only thing i can't get to work is the NPC_AlertZombies. I can't find where to put the code to call it. I see that the NPCsqf is located in the dayz_code/compile which confuses the shit out of me because there is already a dayz_code pbo in the main mod folder.

These are a couple of lines that i found on opendayz.net. I have tried looking for something like this but no go.
 
// Alert zombies if a weapon is fired
_aiunit addEventHandler ["Fired", {[(_this Select 0),100,true,(getPosATL (_this Select 0))] execvm "units\NPC_AlertZombies.sqf";}];
 
//_aiunit addEventHandler ["Fired", {diag_log format ["AIUNIT: Alert - unit is shooting shit - %1",_this];}]; // for testing eventhandler
diag_log format ["AIUNIT: Creating MPEvent Handler for %1 ",_aiunit];

I figured out how to use the fog.sqf in breaking point too. It was easy let me know

[Haleks]

Updated to v2.3!

As usual, I'll wait on feedbacks & bug reports - but seen as this release should be pretty much bug-free, I'll most likely call it a final one. ;)

Haleks thanks for the release and all your work.

Question: Does this have the recent DayZ update that lets a person see how much more stuff can go into a car/tent/etc.?  


Also I think that the R3F weight mechanic is a little weird (at least in mine).  It says that a sound is missing (after I run for a bit) and while I can keep running there is a weird frame jerk only in first person view (carrying ~150lbs.).  Is that intended; its kind of jarring.

No, the available space in vehicles & tents is only shown in the 1.7.7.1 code - I think 2017 is based on the 1.7.5.1 code.

As for the R3F script, what happens exactly?
I modified it to deactivate the lay down thing, but I'm afraid I completely forgot to test the result...

Any chance we could get that inventory thing from 1.7.7.1?

As for R3F its very hard to describe: After running for a while in first person view only my screen starts to bob down but not like Arma's built in head bob (it almost looks like lag, but it isn't since it only happens after running for a bit) every three or so seconds.

Sorry that the description isn't that good; its very hard to describe.

I think R3F is a tad glitchy on 2017 : I've tried the original script and you are supposed indeed to experience an additional head bobbing. But for some reason it doesn't really work - maybe the 2017 changed a few things.

I'll take a deeper look at the current script.

Haleks, Check your email bro! Ive messaged you about a few things.

hi halek... ive been following 2017 for a while and nearly wet myself when i found single player version ... 28yrz is a brilliant mission/modception but i do enjoy the solo effort... my problem is i can save the missions and get the saving screen but  never loads them as i get the user conflict or ca_missions_BAF_2 error does any one else have this problem also i am so very noob at dayz/mods ... both single and 28yrz run excellent from start up but only if i restart mission ... using  i have read that ca_missions_BAF_2 is in a update but which update specifically i would like to remedy the problem .... also wanted to know is there people in either mission that dont want to kill me ...love your work hope some one understands me ... thank you for your mod

[Haleks]

Hi there!
You're not the first one to report troubles resuming a save - sadly I don't know what's causing this error. I can only suggest that you make sure both Arma 2  and Operation Arrowhead are updated. According to your install (Steam or non-Steam), you might have to copy the addons folder from Arma 2 into your OA folder.
I'll see what I can find about this error though.

And yes, some NPC aren't hostile to the player : you can go close to them and recruit them with the scrolling menu.

You haven't responded to my thing yet :| I don't get the "remove object" thing, also, how do i update to v2.3?
