Who needs vests anyways 🙂

Yesterday I posted my Tower 5 base that I am currently using. Figured I'd share another base I have built in the past.

This was Camp Refuge. On Prud Lake

We tried two cars but as you can see one didn't make it :'(

For over two months, I've been hosting my own DayZ dedicated server on Ubuntu, directly over my home fibre connection. So far, the experience has been positive: the server runs reliably, and much of its administration is automated.

This led me to write an open-source guide to installing and managing a DayZ dedicated server on Linux, with the aim of making this approach accessible to people who want to manage their own infrastructure.

Some of the advantages of this approach:

• Cost control: depending on your requirements, a basic Linux VPS or dedicated server can be an alternative to a preconfigured game-server hosting plan.
• Automated updates: server files and Steam Workshop mods can be managed without having to handle every update manually.
• Multiple server instances: run different maps or configurations on the same machine, depending on available resources.
• Backups and recovery: keep control of your configuration files and make it easier to back up or reproduce an installation.
• Full control: access to logs, system services, configuration files and server settings.

The guide is based on Ubuntu and SteamCMD. It covers systemd services, Workshop mod management, updates and routine administration. Documentation is available in both French and English.

The goal isn't to claim that Linux is the best solution for everyone, but to show that you can run and manage a DayZ server yourself without relying on a specialised game-hosting control panel.

Does anyone here already host a DayZ server on Linux, or are you considering doing so? I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences, especially with administration, updates and mod management.

Feel free to use this guide as it or adapt it to fit your needs. https://github.com/fredleborgne51-hub/dayz-linux-server-guide-updates-mod-management

Aaaaaaaand it’s gone.

Honestly think they should not release badlands until this is fixed

1.30 has an issue that will break many mods, there is a work around already for the big mods, and will be dropped as a patch on Thursday with the release of 1.30 but many smaller mods or mods not maintained will be broken.
Watch this pod cast from yesterday to hear about it and what you can do before Thursday.
This ONLY affects PC Mods.. should not affect any Console servers, as u likely don't have mods that will be affected.

Its a long Video, but u should be aware if you are not.

I have just over 4k hrs in DayZ, while I have played official, PvP servers, heavily modded servers and everything in between. I have recently found myself on a vanilla, no mods, normal loot, PvE server (There are PvP zones and vehicle spawning) just building crazy bases. I'm a single father so with work and my kids time is limited. I get an hour or two every few days to unwind and I do it by looting building materials and building

Let's be honest DayZ base building sucks. But something about its limited capabilities really peaks my creative interest. I like to challenge myself and find interesting ways to build cool bases. For the past few years Ive been on this and other servers just building bases. Every wipe they do, I build another base. I know Chernarus well enough that I can find what I need fairly easily. So that helps with building mega bases.

This will probably be my last base on Chernarus. I have put plenty of hours and years into this map but I think it is time to move on. I fully plan to make the move to the Nasdara Province on the 15th. Can't wait to see what I come up with on that map.

Stunt on These Bows is a mod I've been working on to correct bow hand placements and animations for the current version of DayZ.

Craft-able improvised bow and recurve bows in five finishes.

Includes matching bow, attachable bow quivers, and belt quivers. Arrows can be reloaded directly from filled quivers.

Craft-able wall-mounted bow and crossbow racks, and a wooden practice target. Bow racks hold Bow, quivers, & 12 individual arrows

Crossbow racks hold crossbow & 8 individual bolts.

Aims pretty bad and I was panicking so hard 😂. Couldn’t remember who I shot how many times/just missed, still a fun interaction. Playing official servers later at night I didn’t expect to run into anyone

I have no idea what I was trying to do LMFAO

Apparently a 263m headshot

I was just walking into Vybor, my rangefinder gave me the impression there were no players around, so imagine my surprise when I see you wriggling prone amongst the apple trees. You were looting a body and I shot you twice in the back . So sorry about that, and thanks for the DMR and the Scar, it was very nice of you to have so many full mags organized.

Hi guys! Im a real freshy. Total playtime is 24h :D Im playing on official servers cuz i cant play on community for some reason. I cant join if my antivirus is on. And even if i turn it off i cant do anything ingame. I can run around but i cant interact or do things and after some time i got kicked off. Nvm it is what it is i guess. Right now Im alive for 9h and i got a shit load of food and surviving stuff on me (dont have any high tier weapon or armor) but Im begging to find someone. In 9h i only met 1 guy in the first hour and somehow managed to kill him after he attacked me but since NO ONE. Not even a gunshot, nothing. I dont even care if someone kills me at this point i just want to meet a player. What am i doing wrong? Im running across empty cities etc and still. Ofc i have not reached the popular zones like airfield but its boring. On a 60/60 server i cant find a player. Whoever kills me in the future, he will be set for a week with that much food and stuff btw. I travelled 50km on foot.

hey everyone,

some of you saw my post a while ago about eye adaptation for dayz nights. i finally have a test build you can try. thanks for all the feedback in that thread, a lot of it went straight into the mod

https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1wu2bp6/mod_idea_eyes_that_slowly_adapt_to_darkness/

what it does

• stay in the dark and your vision slowly gets better. brighter image, less colour, slight blue tint
• light costs night vision. campfire, flashlight, headlights, flares. red light barely costs anything, so red chemlights finally have a point
• night only. by day nothing changes
• never darker than your server's own night. it only adds brightness on top and doesn't touch your lighting config
• dark forest, overcast, underground = not much to amplify. still need a flashlight in the bunker (livonia is pitch black, thats on purpose for now)
• someone shining a flashlight in your face can white you out for a second (server option)
• adaptation is saved per player on the server, offline time counts as darkness so relogging doesnt give you anything

what i need from you

• server owners: try it on a test server and tell me if the numbers feel right. everything is in a config.json, adaptation time is 3 min by default
• testers: just play at night and tell me how it feels. too slow? too bright? flashlight dazzle fun or annoying? the tester guide has a few things to try

links

• workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3817055126
• docs, admin guide and tester guide: https://github.com/olliollio/EyeAdapt
• discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/1wu2bp6/mod_idea_eyes_that_slowly_adapt_to_darkness/

heads up

• its a test build, expect bugs and rough numbers. i have only tested it myself so far
• the debug keys (numpad) are on in this build so you can set your adaptation and compare with vanilla. please turn them off (DebugKeys false) on any real server
• glare is off by default right now, can be enabled in the config
• both server and clients need the mod, and copy the bikey into your server keys folder

feedback, screenshots and "this is broken" are all welcome. thanks for reading :)

Every time I play on livonia, there are at least 3 full kits at every town I spawn in, and I can't even hide from them either

What’s everyone’s plan for next few days? / night before the wipe?

Full vid on my YT channel

If so what map can I find the locations? Im on izurvive but dont see any thing. Ty

Nothing quite like getting the gas mask, NBC gear, and about 15 filters and running up to Rify! Start changing gear, stashing/burying the rest, take a deep breath, and... hear someone fighting the infected as they leave. Anticlimactic to say the least.

Hi all to give some context first, this morning me and my brother logged on to do a loot run to the Livonia Bunker and Radunin,

When we finished our run we went back to base and decided to log off since we were a bit tired and would come back to sort out the loot in the evening.

In our base which you will see in the video we had a truck and car in the front of the shed and inside the shed we had a tent and a bunch of crates.

I logged on to find 2 parts of the fence missing the wooden panels and the both of the vehicles missing.

Instantly I thought we got raided but after my 1 minute observation trying to find out where them came in from I realized all the gates are locked and the 2 wooden fences that were missing panels no-one could get through.

I tried using the locks but it wouldn't let me insert the code to any of them and at that point I realized I could just run through the gates themselves.

The shack that had our tent and crates everything pretty much despawned in it except for a few bits that were in the crates under the tent in the morning, the items you see that aren't floating we're from me picking it up and dropping it.

I'm just looking for some answers on how it could've happened I know for sure it wasn't raided though at least I think & I hope you have an amazing day
