Welcome to Dayz Epoch 1.0.5.1 + Overwatch 0.2.5 - Overpoch Sauerland!
I love halo jumps...
It's not too hard to setup:
Head over to XstreamGaming and download their Dayz Overpoch Server Pack (the download link is on that page). The beauty of this server pack is the painful time consuming part of merging mods has been done for you - you don't need to edit the loot / trader tables to add weapons and their ammo. You'll also need DayZ Epoch 1.0.5.1 and Overwatch 0.2.5 - you can find these easily enough on either Google or DayZ Commander. These should be extracted into your game folder (mine is D:\Overpoch_Sauerland).
I haven't been to a trader yet to check it's working but the guns are in the game and spawning. 2 minutes after landing, I'm tooled up...
Installing the pack isn't too difficult. If you've been playing Epoch SP then there's only a couple more small steps you have to folow. Or, setup a new game as per Gaero's video with these additonal steps:
1. Extract the overpochpack_11.zip file into your game folder (for me that's D:\Overpoch_Sauerland), overwriting anything already present.
2. At around 6.00 minutes in the video, Gaero talks about adding the epoch.sql file into the new database - do this but then you can immediately add the traders-data-overpoch.sql exactly the same way you just added the epoch.sql.
3. Edit the server launch batch (.bat file). (Gaero talks about this file at 2.00 minutes in the video). If you are playing default Epoch the line will read:
"-mod=@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"
Edit it so it reads:
"-mod=@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch;@DayZ_Epoch_Server;"
4. In DayzCommander (DZC), edit the "Additional Launch Parameters" setting to read:
-mod=@DayZOverwatch;@DayZ_Epoch
Your game directories in DZC will need to be changed as well if you used a separate folders as I do - mine all read "D:\Overpoch_Sauerland". Btw, the mod only comes with three missons (maps), Chernarus, Napf and Sauerland.
And so, how is it?
I made my usual SP edits to the files. There are guns everywhere - I don't think I've found two the same yet. You don't want this if you are after a hardcore survival experience. The AI are armed with these guns - I don't recognize the sound of any of these guns - and they are LOUD!
This map has a few rough edges, ie, trees in the middle of the road, buildings placed poorly and you just know attempting to enter them will insta-kill you.
After talking out these AI in a small town (see picture above), I headed into a large city, picked up some industrial loot to make some repairs to the vehicles. Looking for a fight, I headed to the local airport and certainly got what I was looking for. After looting the airport (and the dead bad-guys) I have to visit a Trader here in the city to see if I can actually sell this stuff. I then need to do some exploring, see if I can find a heli.
I've found a perfect vehicle to explore with...
Hell yeah......
