IMPORTANT NOTE : Factions 3.0.2 has some stability issues regarding zeds & loot spawns.
Until the 3.0.3 update is ready, I strongly recommend trying DaiZy 2018 instead. Compared to Factions 3.0.2, it includes countless fixes and is much more stable!

- Patroling Choppers.
- Zombies reacting to AI gunshots.
- Loot cycle script (triggered when sleeping at tents).

Optionnal missions files are now available :
[No IA] : You're the last survivor in Chernarus.
[The Walking Zeds] : Zombies can only walk, there're a bit more numerous.
[B.A.F] : You begin the game as the leader of a British Air Force squad.
[Car Patrols] :  Some bandits will be roaming the roads in vehicles.
[Walking Zeds + Car Patrols]
Additional changelog/features :

- Demonized's Clean up script included.
It will handle the deletion of dead bodies.

- [FIXED] Sound fx for backpack actions.

It works the same way you would bloodbag another player online.

08/01/14 : Updated to v2.8.1

- [FIXED] The breath fog script for the player and NPCs was missing.

- The "Recruit Unit" option is removed after a unit has joined the player.

- Added a "Dismiss unit" option for recruited survivors : when dismissed they'll be on their way and go helping other survivors on the coast.

07/01/14 : Updated to v2.8

- [FIXED] Zombies attack animations.

- [FIXED] Thirst & hunger depleting too fast on a new game.

- Modified spawn & delete distances for zombies (should improve things in big cities).

- Removed loop sequence from the chopping wood script.

- [FIXED] Units of bandit squads now spawn together.

03/01/14 : Factions updated to DayZ build 1.8.0.3

- Updated to DayZ build 1.8.0.3

- Added loot cycle script. It will be triggered whenever you sleep at a tent - as long as it is pitched in a forest.

- You can choose how much time you want to sleep at tents.

- Added an Autosave feature when sleeping at a tent, if you guys wanna play in veteran or higher difficulty mode.

- [FIXED] The helicrash wrecks will spawn properly.

- Helicrash loot will spawn in weapon boxes (so they aren't deleted by the loot cycle script).

- Helis patrols spawn only once per trigger from now on. They'll also have unlimited fuel.

- Destroyed helis patrols will respawn after some time (2 choppers max on the map).

- Helis patrols will spawn further from the player.

- Helis change their patrol routine every 45 minutes.

- The journal will properly display how many days you survived.

- Changed helis patrol spawn process (no more freezes).

- Infected camps should now spawn properly (to be tested).

- Tweaked Zed behaviour : it will be a bit easier to put some distance between you and them if you are spotted, but they will track you down longer than before.
Even if you loose sight of them, they might still be on your trail; Infected will actually hunt for prey.

- Save & Autosave will be disabled if you're in a vehicle : this will ensure that the hunger/thirst system is not broken.
(Fix for the following bug : "The thirst & hunger features currently don't work in vehicles.")

- Breath fog by night for every unit.

- [FIXED] Some bandits were failing to identify all zeds as targets, especially those who would spawn after they did. Their spawn sequence should also be a bit less demanding on your CPU.

- Mission time is now random - however you will spawn during day time.

- Random tents will be guarded by a NPC.

- [REMOVED] Daimyo's Building script due to some issues with the new DayZ building system.

1. Download DayZ 1.8.0.3 using DayZ Commander.

Recommended Mods :

- CoWar Mod :
The Lite Version is more than enough for DaiZy SP : You'll have a shitload of usefull features such as AI auto rearm, functionnal supressing fire, better driving skills and so on...
It's worth spending some time reading the documentation files if you want to customize DaiZy to your likes. A must have, especially for this release since it greatly enhances AI units skills.
NOTE : There's a glitch with the bayonnette knife mod : it spawns NVGs in the player's inventory.

- The J.S.R.S Sound Mod : replaces Arma 2 sounds; you can also configure it the way you want (just follow LordJarhead's instructions to remove sound files).
Please note that the following file conflicts with roadflares & other throwable objects sounds : "jsrs_grenade_c.pbo"
(Just remove it if you don't want to jump off the ground everytime you throw a chemlight!)

- LandTex (included in coWarmod) : greatly enhances landscapes textures.

- The Community Base Addons are required to run the above mods.


Known issues :

- Do not save & reload while inside a vehicle! The thirst & hunger features currently don't work in vehicles.

- Bandit squads & choppers can't engage each others (they are on the same side).

- I've removed pistols from AI units in order to prevent them being stuck when switching weapons (it's an old Arma 2 glitch wich occurs with spawned units).
However, if you're using the auto-rearm feature from CoWarmod, your units might pick up a secondary weapon when they have the chance.
If you notice that one of your units is unable to move, with a pistol drawn, just open your map, go to the 'units' menu and click on 'gear'.
Make him drop his rifle and he will move again.
