RELEASE : DaiZy 2018 v1.5 [04/06/2014 UPDATED]

[emilioski]

Amazing mod Haleks, i just have a questions:
I went to the bandit camp at Klen and killed every bandit, and 2 civs are in the camp (A EuroWoman 1 and a Rocker) , they dont do anything, and it seems like the woman is injured, its a bug or what?
Oh, there is a bug when you place a lot of camping tents, you can sleep anywhere close of them (i tryied in my car)

[Haleks]

Those are unarmed civilians, nothing more. ^^
I guess the woman was wounded during the firefight; it's your choice to let' em live, or be a total sadist and get ridd of them. ;)
I'll look into the tents issue.

[Shockwave]

Someone knows where is Ghoultown? I found Crashtown with bandits but i cant find Ghoultown? Any hints how to find it?

[Haleks]

You shouhd go through the previous pages : you'll find a lot of indications. ;)

[starrfiveo]

sooo i'm a bad person who cant play the game normally, is there a way i can cheat in this? XD i know with the original factions there was a cheated one, if you cant do that can you tell me how to do it with cpbo?
thanks

[Shockwave]

When the next update will come out? Cant wait for it but... There are some things that needs to be fixed like sometimes I play and become invincible and bamdits cant shoot me (seems like I had a godmode on) and also some cars cant be fixed and some cars offer a repair option, but when you click it it just shows cancel action and not the repair menu :(.

[Eiriksvin]

Yep, the game is so fun I just had to snag that awesome background. I have had a few issues with Factions so I started really diving into 2018. Fantastic work! I like it way more than Factions, it's harsh, and that's what I look for. I decided I would hook up one of my ps3 controllers, set up my own button mapping, and this is fantastic. I got it hooked up to my HDTV and in combination with Turtle Beaches, and all the mods, it is figgin sweet. I am having a blast!

[Xtro69]

First I must say thank you for this mod, I'm really enjoying it, but have a few questions/queries I hope somebody can answer as i'm not sure if it is normal as I am new to this game.

I have now managed to get a few vehicles together (V35, Pick Up & Motorbike), and all were fine for a while, but now I have trouble trying to re-fuel or repair them, the option either never shows or takes an age to appear. I also have the same problem when trying to refill jerrycans at a fuel tank (the one at the petrol station near Solnichy for example as that is where I am currently based).

The motorbike wheels are getting damaged it seems without me hitting any debris/fences etc.

I am now low on meat & I have not seen any cows/sheep/goats in days, and I have searched extensively (I had two places previously where they were common).

Is it normal that buildings do not spawn any items if you drive to them? It seems I only get items/equipment if I have walked miles to them?

And finally bandits/ghouls - does the game get harder as you play? I used to only come across single bandits, and then maybe 2, but now I have 4 of them shooting at me near Solnichy when I am scavenging for parts etc?

Thanks.

Hi Xtro69 :)

Yes, the fuel problem is known - just crouch in in front of the fuel tank / vehicle and wait - the option to refuel will appear. If, within 30-60 seconds it hasn't, try a slightly different position and repeat. You'll find the same problem with repairing vehicles too.

The motorbike wheel one is new to me... I'm not sure if the vehicles are more fragile than usual. Or that I run into every single tree in Chernarus may have something to do with it...

Both the animal, loot and Zed spawns not happening are known issues too.

These issues above are mainly carry over stuff from the Arma 2 engine and DayZ itself.

Bandit and Ghoul spawning: I don't know what is "normal" but I experienced the same thing you have described: increasing numbers of badguys in patrols. It started at 1 (which is where I got my first AK :D) and gradually increased to 4 in a patrol group. I've also seen a individual bandits appear, either on patrol or attracted to the noise of a gunfight. I strongly suspect this is normal and an intended function of the scripts which control this aspect.


Cheers,

Eric

Hi Eric ;)

Many thanks for the confirmations.

I think the old moto just doesn't like to be scrambled through the woods or over rail lines - wheel integrity went down another 20% in last session without any obvious collisions.

I have some new bugs now that have made my mind up to start again & hope things work out better:

I am now invincible to bandits/ghouls, but not Zeds or illness.

My machete is a rapid firing melee monster (I quite like this one TBH).

All the best.

I personally really enjoy large patrols, good challenge.

Looking forwards to an update soon hopefully

Me too! Some of the nastier occurrences are when they catch me unawares. I had an epic gun fight in Stary starting with two groups of patrols (4 & 3). I moved further into the town and got pinned down in the supermarket by a third patrol. Managed to survive, but was in bad shape afterwards!

I always try to be a little more prepared for the unexpected now.

Desperately want to see this and DayZ X updated but I think both Haleks and Above are focused on different (separate) things ATM.




Cheers,

Eric

How are the updates going for factions and 2018?

[Penalozza1337]

I use support call for cheating in DayZ SP. It's good for all sorts of things.

Hi all

I don't know if you're aware about this game, but since we are all DaiZy-lovers, with its offline-single-player gameplay to survive, hunt and craft, I thought you could get interested to this one :

Dangerous Rays, at http://dangerousrays.com/ , will be available on the next Friday for early access.

Each game takes place in an huge procedurally generated world, it supports extensive modding possibilities and will be released with a complete 3D world editor to allow players to create their own worlds and stories!
(see http://www.dangerousrays.com/features )

Lot of things in the game are physically simulated, you can grab them to place them where you want or throw them anywhere everything will react and behave realistically... for example, you can partially open doors and there is no animation for firecamp : simply pile up wood-logs and strike a match... the fire will spread from one to each others.

Balistics is also simulated according to real world physics. The gun bullets are real objects in the world and move according to gravity, wind, bullet mass and size. Bullet penetration is also simulated according to surface types (wood, metal, dirt, concrete...).
Weapons fire rates, muzzle flash intensity, gun maniability according to its weight and size... everything is realistically simulated.
Guns and melee weapon will be worn and eventually be unusable if you use it too much or don't take care to keep them in a good shape. Weapon attachments (silencers, optics) will be added soon in the game among various other things.

Experience immersive environment sounds, birds, wind in trees when the weather is windy. Everything is ultra detailed... Dangerous Rays sound engine feature a speed of sound simulation and dynamic reverb effects according to the environment around the player (3D sound spatialization and attenuation, Special Effects support (doppler, reverb, pitch, echo, distorsion...)).

Graphics are nice : dynamic soft shadows, HDR, SSAO, godrays and tons of other goodies for your eyes (detailled vegetation, sun lens flare, parralax mapping, high resolution textures, soft particles...)


It's DRM-free and Steamable.


Have a look at http://dangerousrays.com/

How do I make a fire in this? I have custom control 20 bound to insert it doesnt pull up journal.

[Mindjacker]

In the vanilla DaiZy encountering the zed immune A.I. really killed off the immersion. Plus the overabundance of food and drink in the main towns and cities caused me to camp too much and thus DaiZy became stale quick. I was looking for a more polished immersive experience that motivated me to explore more. Its amazing how Kronzkys SP hack has developed into solid single player experience with works like 2018.

[resetes12]

Wow I love this mod, I enjoy it when my ping goes over 2000 lol.
I have some questions:

- I played about 2h yesterday and my food/water didnt go down. At the moment, I havent used any soda/can. But temperature it goes down. Is that normal?
- What about carrying 2 weapons? I cant! Even in Factions I cant! I can only take 1, there's no button to put the weapon to carrying slot. Is that normal?
 (^ Button and "down" button are inexistents to me)
- I can't open the journal, but only in 2018. In factions I can. I think that this is a bug.

Thanks!

[PalikotLolka]

I always wearing Assault rifle and DMR :) you must have equiped hatchet and rifle in the back then you can replace hatchet for any rifle ;P works in factions 3.0.2

Heven't played it yet, because i want to know if it will work with mission from faction 3.0.2 because i,ve got like 40 weapons and 160+ mags, heli as well ;)

I know if you use other mod and play mission from other release, you can't play further with dedicated mod so i hope you will answer quickly :]

Also i found bad performace hit on my low end pc on newest releases and know how it's caused. i'm pretty sure second weapon slot causes this. When you open backpack it goes normal (almost ;d).




BTW, good work on all releases :]

[Castortroy]

Damned Haleks, you bastard! ;)

I started with daizy 2018, and I didn't know about any bandit camp at klen. I crashed in Berenzino. Geared a bit up, and wanted to travel to the NE airfield to find some helicopter/cars/weapons. So I came close to Klen, and suddenly got shot at. So I thought, "ow well, some lonely bandit, let's take 'm out". And suddenly I was surrounded by 4 guys shooting at me. R.I.P. didn't even had the chance to check the camp out.

About the mod:
I came back to this forums, after while (because my old pc broke, and had to build new one), to check if there was any new release of daiZy 2017 that i could install on my pc. And then I saw this : DaiZy 2018.

And damn, this is good!!!
Everything is just right. The difficult zeds from dayz 2017, very nice color scheme. Just the right mods. from bunnyhop to chopping wood and more. Without overdoing it ;) Now even temperature has entered. Just fucking brilliant.

So much content. Bandit camps, gear, stuff to do. .  Really, forget about fallout 3. ;) This is my favourite RPG atm.

Nice job Haleks, and others that contributed.
