They weren't looking at the sky. just straight forward. And well, the Zombies just, completely ignores the Survivors. And counterwise.

How do your shortcut parameters look like? I saw on Above's thread that you've some troubles resuming your saves - something might be wrong in your install.

I'm using seperate shortcuts for my BreakingPoint, Factions and other stuff. I'll post them all here
Breaking Point SP: -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@BreakingPointSP -nosplash
Factions: -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@daiZy_factions -nosplash
Taviana RSPB: -beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -mod=@DaiZyTaviana -nosplash

and so on.

Just to make sure, to install factions you need to:

Download the latest DayZ version, i used this link for a manual installation (without the updater):
http://uk1.dayz.nu/latest/1.7.6/

You also have to install the latest beta patch for Arma 2, get it here:
http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php

Check your Arma OA folder for a "addons" folder, if its not there, copy the Addons folder from the Arma 2 folder over there (Cut and paste, no need to copy paste actually).
Dont put any modded addons in this folder! (external/modded .pbo files)

Install DayZ like recommended (modfolder) and rename the folder to something you like, for example @DayZFactions

Download DayZ Factions and copy all the files from the addons folder to your "@DayZFactions" Addons folder (override existing files) and of course the mision file to "missions".

Make sure there is no typo in the shortcut, for example DayZ_factions and DayZFactions.

If you are using steam, dont create a shortcut, use the "set launch options" to insert the -mod XXXX thingie.

As i said, never had troubles with DayZ Factions or Breaking Point SP.

Although, i can't play Factions. i'm missing some apoc_tank something file (I cannot remember the exact name really, and i can't get the file. Don't known where to get it.). Kinda pissing me off.

[Haleks]

The apoc_tank file is related to 2017; it has nothing to do with Factions...
If it asks for that file, something's definitely wrong in your install :/

Yep there are ;)
I saw one shooting at Zeds or bandits, I dunno... And another one flying around me and shooting with both mounted guns! :D

[mp5lng]

HALELUJAH ! another reason to stick to the CZ550 ! maybe it's just me but i really love this sniper ! gonna try it on a big heli now !

[Haleks]

I used that very rifle to shoot down the first heli ^^

[Grayjoker]

True... My bad xD I DL'ed quite a few of the files from here the past days. Can't really always remember what belongs to what xD

[mp5lng]

by the way ! i'll remove the DMZ script, i'd like to give a visit to an old dead bandit just to show him\her i'm still alive !

Also i can never get the Debug monitor to work ever

[Dalereo]

And Also Anyway to add The weapons that u can find attachments for to the Loot list? i can do this myself iv given a breifing

[ataribaby]

Small cosmetic request. It will be possible to add different name or description to bandit and normal mission editions? If I install both I can say what one to pickup from mission selection as both are identical in name and description.

I deactivated it since it was glitchy - but I saw Above fixed it on BP. I might take a quick sneaky look at what he did ;)
With his permission I'll aply the fix for a future update.

Sure! I never really thought about that. Meanwhile you can place your missions in different sub-folders if you don't want to get lost.

@Dalereo : Are you talking about mod weapons? I don't think Arma have those??

[Dalereo]

Theres an Addon id Like to use and add to the Loot table and for Arma2 it does have gas mask chars btw check the Benchmarks-01 in the begining but its ACR i belive where u can get like an m4 or other rifle and add like acogs and pistol grips to a stock m4 i can do it myself if shown,or told And the Update is to the map? or files i added a few buildings to the Map with the MBG buildings like some warehouse's and Such Gives me a Place to set up and actull FOB(Forward Operating Base) Im sorry i have so many questions man lol

[Dalereo]

I Stand corrected its ASC but if you could tell me how to add them to the loot table i can do it myself just adds Imersion to the Mod for me,Other than that outstanding mod man

[Haleks]

Yes, the updated files are the mission ones (wich means that you have to restart to have the changes kick in :/)
About adding custom items to the loot table, it's a bit complex : you would have to edit the config.cpp file inside the dayz code and add the exact classname used by your weapons plus the item spawn chance.
You might be able to find some tutorials somewhere online (there's some for pretty much everything^^).

[Dalereo]

Im not worried about restarting ill just have to add the Buildings back in, :) Also guys if your having crazy FPS drop from using mods and such let me know I found a fix that should increase it aswell as keep decent graphics

I don't have any OA folder. I have a Cracked game (JIMBUS Edition of CO). All my things are totally up to date (I got the latest Arma 2 OA Beta too [The 104-something] so yeah) and the same goes for DayZ

You need Arma 2 Combined Operations to play DayZ as quoted on the DayZ mod site:
"DayZ is a mod for ARMA2: Combined Ops"
That means without OA (Operation Arrowhead) the never will never run as intended.

[Haleks]

I jus saw that the ammo you guys need to reload the mounted guns on cars (100Rnd_762x54_PK magazines) are already included in the current dayz code - except that they seem very hard to find (They'll only spawn at helicrash sites and the NW airfield).
I'll tweak and upload a new dayz code (maybe for the next week-end) to make it just a bit more common; you won't need to restart another game ;)
