Hey guys and gals,
I'm throwing out a little thread for you guys, which will contain several topics such as Bugs, maps, features, suggestions and more!
SECTION ONE: MapsThis is where I will post the results of maptesting. If you want to test with me, crack open ye' ol' DaiZy mediafire and download the map of your choice from the v042b folder. You will likely need to download addons for the custom ones, for example Lingor or Lolonaia. Just google 'em and download 'em. Play it for awhile, test loot spawns, going into cities, how bandits AI reacts, test bandit/survivors spawns, and anything you feel you need to test.
Working Maps:Chernarus - Do I really need to explain this one?
Panthera Island - Amazing lush forest map with plenty of cities and airfields. Bandits spawn correctly. Survivors spawn correctly. Loot spawns correctly. Zombies spawn correctly. Spawns working as intended.
FDF Podagorsk - Straight up incredible map. Similar forestry style as Chernarus, much better than chernarus overall. Bandits spawn correctly. Survivors not confirmed. Zombies spawn correctly. Loot spawns correctly. Spawns working as intended. Map is incorrectly named and will appear in the menu as DaiZyv042.Isladuala .
Lingor Island - The island you all know and love. Bandits spawn correctly. Survivors spawn correctly. Zombies spawn correctly. Loot spawns correctly. Spawns working as intended.
Takistan - Good ol' fashion Takistan. Bandits spawn correctly. Survivors spawn correctly. Zombies spawn correctly. Loot spawns correctly. Spawn working as intended. Spawn Airfield has a well known bug in which loot does not spawn at the airfield buildings.
Partially working maps:These maps are playble but some features do not work correctly/at all.
Proving Grounds - This is a map already included in ArmA 2. Bandits spawn correctly. Survivors spawn correctly. Zombies do not spawn correctly. Loot does not spawn correctly. Spawns working as intended.
Broken maps:These are maps that fail to work at all/barely work
Lolo Nai'a - Vehicle wrecks and military camp from the Balota airstrip in Chernarus appear out in the ocean for no appearent reason, floating above the ocean. Zombies spawn at the camp in the sea but fall into the water and subsequently drown. Bandits do not work. Survivors do not work. Loot does not work.
SECTION TWO: Known bugs
This is the section in which bugs will be placed. If you find any, post down below with the bug and I'll add it here.
Minor bugs:Bugs that aren't very noticeable and/or aren't harmful.
(1)Sometimes, zombies appear for a split second inside/outside buildings, sometimes hitting you before vanishing.
Bugs:These are bugs that are generally harmful.
(1) Survivors do not shoot bandits. They refuse to shoot anything but zombies, subsequently ending in their demise.
(2) Survivors spawn in combat stance, meaning they will lay down/duck behind cover and remain very alert. They will then refuse to follow you until you change the stance.
(3) Players start with a bandage, but cannot use it as all visible slots are taken up by pistol ammunition. You can only use the bandage by dropping/using one magazine of ammo.
(4) The FDF Isle map is incorrectly named and will appear in the menu as DaiZyv042.Isladuala
Major bugs:These bugs are game-breaking and/or serious bugs.
(1) Survivors, bandits and even you do not spawn with any weapon but four different pistols. The M1911, G17, Makarov PM, and the Revolver. They also only have a coyote backpack, map, and binoculars.
(2)(FIXED) Tents do not spawn at all.
(3) Bandits often only notice you at a very close range.
(4)(RARE) An extremely rare bug, in which spawning causes you to immediately die.
(5)(GAME-BREAKING) The HUD fails to work after loading a save. This cannot be fixed and you'll have to restart to get the HUD back.(6)(LAN) Survivors, bandits, tents, vehicles and other things do not spawn at all.
(7)(LAN) The host WILL experience EXTREME LAG if more than three players are present. This is unavoidable, good computer or not.
SECTION THREE : Suggestions galore!This right here is the archive of our suggestions, simply post a suggestion below and it will be added.
(1)Niceonegunit: Bandits should spawn with typical bandit weapons, AKMs, DMRs, Kobras, Winchesters, Lee enfields ETC. the weapons you'd commonly find on bandits if you play normal DayZ.
(2)Niceonegunit: Survivors should spawn with fairly low-tier weapons, such as lee enfields, winchesters, double-barrels ETC. and should also have water and food in their inventory
(3)Niceonegunit: A new map, Mana Island Fiji, this is a beautiful looking tropical island with buildings, airfields ETC. with a similar size to Utes. maybe smaller. You can find it here:
http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12629SECTION FOUR: Secret/not well known featuresHere is where you'll find a list of known secret/unknown features.
-Bandits typically spawn in cities, but also randomly spawn on the map to their own accord. For example, I was in cherno and I noticed a bandit had spawned all the way over in Kamenka.
-I discovered coding for a Jason Voorhees unit back in .38b. I do not know if it is still in v042.
-Bandits and survivors seem to work on nearly every map, due to the new coding that causes them to randomly spawn to their own accord.
