Believe it or not I am actually tech savvy, I say that hoping you'll forgive my ignorance in advance ;) ..

INSTALLATION STORY:

I bought the combined operations game via steam but noticed that the dayz commander app and the play with six app both had some issues with Steam .. they thought it wasn't installed when it was..

So I figured what the heck, I'll just shell out $17 at Amazon and get the installer that way.. DayZ commander was happy..

I installed DayZ via commander and I installed the latest beta patch.. then I followed instructions found here:

http://kodabar.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/dayz-offline-single-player-practice.html

The directory structure of the mediafire area isn't that intuitive even after looking at the instructions, so I just went with the rz0 release and the rz0 map knowing that I wouldn't get the fancy hud.. splendid!

Instructions are simple enough but I kept getting errors about things addons being required, some other forums suggested that copying addons from Arma2 to Arma2 AO would help .. and it largely did, but I still get one specific error which says:

"Addon 'dayz_anim' requires addon 'CAMisc_fix'" .. some people were saying forget that error, it means nothing.. but it still seems a bit odd.. nevertheless...

ISSUES:

I got into the game, I selected single player.. chose the DaiZy_v042c.Chernarus map that goes with rz0 and everything loads fine! ... I get some graphic weirdness though, grass shows up white in large patches which it didn't do before .. it comes and goes... but no matter WHERE I have gone I have not seen one single zombie... also, since doing all of this .. M for map, brings up nothing.. it's a black black screen where the map SHOULD be .. quite odd.. all of that was working fine in the steam version.

So the questions are:

1. What is this CAMisc_fix error about? can it be fixed?
2. Are the instructions I followed up to date or can someone provide a better step by step?
3. Why are there no zombies, bandits or survivors?
4. Any idea why I'm getting the weird graphics glitch with the white grass patches?

Bonus Question:

I have some scripts I'd like to also use and they mention entering them in the init section for the unit.. however when I go to edit, I can't add any script for unit .. is it possible to run scripts with daizy? if so .. what might I be doing wrong?

THANK YOU!!!!!
