Just wondering... Is it possible for me to add more skins?

Yes it is, but it requires a bit of work : you need to create a new class ref in the dayz_factions file, and add them to the AI models in the spawn scripts. If you want to use them for yourself, you can either add the new skins to the cheat menu, or trhow them in the loot table - but there's a couple files more to edit.
You should find some tutorials if you google something like "dayz add custom skins".

[JuniYo]

Ahh sounds difficult, but i will give it a look :)

[JuniYo]

Ohh yeah btw do u know how u add the skins to the cheat menu?

You'll have to edit the packageMenu.sqf file located in the 'cheat' folder of your mission.

[JuniYo]

Umm what do i use to open the mission file? .-.

[Haleks]

Install PBO manager ;)

[JuniYo]

ahh oki thanks ^-^

[JuniYo]

umm what do i edit the package thing with? xD

[Haleks]

Just use notepad or any basic text editor.

[JuniYo]

well yeah i did and it appeared some text where it stood female survivor and suck things, but i had no idea what to write to add the skins so i just gave up xD sorry for wasting you time :(

[Haleks]

Updated.
Besides a couple of fixes, nothing new this time - except that zombies can now hear AI gunshots and will be chasing them. Sadly they won't attack NPC, but this way Zeds should be a bit less annoying for the player since they'll no longer focus on him only. Plus, ordering your team to open fire on Zeds can now have some (bad) consequences ;)

Hope you guys will enjoy it!

@Anubis : Don't worry, I'm still planing on the squads & the respawn features ^^

@JuniYo : No problem! I would have been of more help, but it's been a long time since I messed with adding custom skins :/

[JuniYo]

Umm i found one way to get a lot of skins but then u will have to install "KRON_SupportCall.pbo" It gives u a lot of the blufor characters. Btw I think it's counted as a hack so im not sure if you should install it if u wanna play dayzrp(not sure though) and if u wanna play dayz online just delete/remove the file :)

[Haleks]

Well, sadly,  I'm afraid doing so will break the food & thirst icons :/

[JuniYo]

umm it worked perfectly fine for me :)

[JuniYo]

btw when installing the new update do i only need to add the addons or do i need to also add the new mission file?

Seriously? Do your food & drink UI keep depleting?
Must have a look at it, but that would be some good news!

Just add the new mission files; the addons files haven't been changed.

[JuniYo]

oki and yeah they do deplete, when changing the skin some items may be deleted. for example my backpack was deleted when i changed into a skin that weren't compatible with a backpack and it also adds some items(map, compass, clock, radio, yeah the usual soldier items).

Good news indeed!
I guess Kron' script switches to the model default loadout; just make sure to run the rMod to be able to pick up another backpack with Arma 2 skins! ;)

[JuniYo]

Well I can pick up backpacks with all the skins I've tried, but I can't see the backpack on a lot of them :/
