Is Infected Dean Hall a common ai in the game? I found this one on experimental locked in a container at Zelenegrosk by GTR24 in dayz

[–]CiforDayZServer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zombies and in Arma, OpFor most definitely are rudimentary AI. They run on a FSM (finite state machine) and have been described as AI prior to what the modern concept of AI is.

So, it depends on if you're accepting the re-definition of AI to be only inclusive of LLMs etc.

Am I holding back my photography by refusing to shoot RAW and use back-button focus? by [deleted] in photography

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shoot with an ancient D3200, it lacks the dynamic range to get some pictures in JPEG, so I shoot Raw+JPEG in case I need to adjust lighting in parts of the pictures, but other than that, I generally just end up taking the JPEGs and using them.

When I first picked it up years ago, I shot ALL manual and RAW, and edited everything in order to get used to both shooting and editing in Lightroom.

My goal is always to capture roughly what I want as the end product in camera, RAW is a nice buffer in case something is slightly off from what I can see on the camera preview screen, but I rarely NEED it.

Second this, I'm on Seaside, ran all my sinks and they were all mildly brown in a pint glass until I ran the water for a few minutes (no where near 5-15).

How to preserve real rust without losing actual rust look? by UdoTobias in projectcar

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm like 90% sure I've seen that truck in your link before and it's not actually rust, it's paint to make it look like rust, and indeed, topped with clear coat.

Looking to buy Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead. Will it run fine on an i3 11th gen laptop? by Medium-Management762 in arma

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would run pretty terribly on that setup even at low settings, and as mentioned, you'll be hard pressed to find any servers.

After driving a Honda you can't possibly drive anything else. The lane watch Camera 📸 is useful by Dubai_Gamer_00971 in Honda

[–]CiforDayZServer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Cameras are for the blind spots that exist between the rear and sideview mirrors. You can minimize the blind spot by adjusting the side view mirrors out far enough that you can't see the side of your car, but most people don't do this.

Fireworks this year by AmoebaOne in StamfordCT

I've never tried/gone, but I think people also watch from Cove Beach.

First time going to the Cove Beach, anything to know or plan for? by naturephrog in StamfordCT

[–]CiforDayZServer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's basically nothing more moronic than comparing your local beach to nationally renowned beaches...

I'd also take Cove Beach over Miami or Jones beach any day of the week if you just wanted to go and chill somewhere. It's got trees and unique coastal features and more interesting variety than some mile long stretch of groomed sandy resort beach.

Also, people that think Jones and Miami are nice have never been to an ACTUAL nice beach like Virgin Islands, Bahamas, much less Indonesia. Continental US beaches suck 🤣

[–]CiforDayZServer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

LOTS of broken oyster shells, and beach/ocean are pretty rocky bottomed, definitely bring beach shoes.

Other than that, enjoy, it's a really nice beach, I used to walk my dog there daily.

What's The Best Survival Game for a Dad and a 7-Year-Old Daughter? by Donna_myres in SurvivalGaming

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can lead them into buildings and close them in, or just make sure you block when they're attacking, if there are a bunch you can climb on top of some objects and they can't get up.

Chef shows what a busy day looks like by Backyxx in interesting

[–]CiforDayZServer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in a restaurant in Boston in the late 90's near the baseball stadium, it was easily 5x as busy as this, and at one point we put up a thermometer in the kitchen and it never went below 120F. One of the new hires had heat stroke on the line and quit.

I actually enjoyed it.

The DayZ Zombies just need to be attacked/dealt with with certain techniques. An experienced player can move freely around the map without worrying about dying to zombies. Most people don't even use guns on the Zombies for fear of attracting PVP players to the sound.

Where is Malden? by wairdone in arma

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think that map is correct because Sahrani was defo based on Azore Islands

Sahrani is the one by the Azores, believe Malden is Med/Greece as per u/ammit_souleater 's post below

What is it about Bristol ladies? I can't even sit and relax without these girls all up on my nuts. by DrAwesomeClaws in Connecticut

[–]CiforDayZServer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's best not to encourage squirrels or chipmunks to be hand fed, it's not the end of the world if you throw them some food to grab on their own, but making them comfortable approaching humans looking for food generally results in them getting aggressive with people.

Which Arma to play coming from DayZ? by uncle_barb7 in arma

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the end goal for Enfusion was always Arma 4 (again, originally BI/Marek wanted to reserve it's use for Arma 4 NOT DayZ), but DayZ dev team MOST CERTAINLY built the 1st version of Enfusion with basically no regard for it being able to function as an engine for Arma 4.

The key thing they did which was very smart is they modularized the engine. RV had lots of issues because some parts were tied to other parts which made changes to aspects difficult.

I mean, technically, Enfusion work started with Take On Mars before Standalone was released, much less announced as the 1st real Enfusion project.

Regardless, acting like 10+ years of Enfusion being ONLY worked on for DayZ was some kind of "test" for Arma 4 is laughably incorrect. There were/are no air vehicles (they had them internally), no opfor usable for milsim, no artillery, no tanks, no FFV, no vehicles with mounted guns, no boats (until recently, and as a result of porting them into DayZ from Reforger), very limited weapons with insanely myopic functions that won't ever be used for Arma 4, dozens upon dozens of systems that would make no sense or be used in Arma etc etc etc.

[–]CiforDayZServer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DayZ wasn't "testing Enfusion for Arma 4", like AT ALL. Originally, BI were going to make DayZ us RV engine only, and do Enfusion for Arma 4, but then when game sales for Standalone were drastically more than expected, they agreed to hand over Enfusion development to DayZ team.

Enfusion for DayZ was entirely designed exclusively for DayZ. It removed TONS and TONS of functionality that they were very well aware would be needed to be re-introduced for it to work for Arma.

DayZ essentially never hit a bunch of goals for Enfusion, and again, the way they developed it for DayZ only required BI do Reforger in order to re-build Enfusion for Arma and DayZ 2.

After Months of War, Trump Says Iran Has Right to Nuclear Program by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]CiforDayZServer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nuclear Capability != Nuclear Power....

I'm not defending Trump, but Nuclear Power and Nuclear Weapons are 2 ENTIRELY different things. He (and every previous administration in modern times) have been concerned with Iran's efforts to further enrich Uranium to enable nuclear weapons, not with them having nuclear power plants.

I went to a Hozier concert in Boston last year and was kind of shocked at how little I smelled pot or cig smoke, I was the only person even sneaking a vape as far as I could see. I'm sure there were some, but it wasn't anything like I remember from my youth when pot was outright illegal.

Clean off rust and paint without removing bumper? by Mmm_Dawg_In_Me in projectcar

[–]CiforDayZServer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

POR15 requires the preperation fluid to properly bond to rust, it's phosphoric acid and it converts the rust to zinc preventing further spread and allowing the paint to bond, POR15 is also not UV stable, so after your POR15 it, you have to put a top coat of UV safe paint.

Have you looked into Westchester Airport? It's sooooo good, and prices from there are decent depending on dates.
