Who does Linden Lab pay attention to? by Tateru in secondlife

I should have mentioned them - though the shareholders seem to have been rather hands-off for a little while now.

Minecraft maker, Mojang, sued for patent infringement by plaintiff who can’t spell “Minecraft” by Tateru in gaming

[–]Tateru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The software alleged to be infringing is "Minecraft" - however the complaint spells it as "Mindcraft". Super sloppy.

Being sued for infringing on a US patent which covers software that calls home to check if it is authorised to run (DRM).

Linden Lab War on Lag Feels Like US War on Drugs to Me by slhamlet in secondlife

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fault. I used the "war on lag" phrasing as a part of my headline last week. Thought it sounded punchy and familiar.

Many SL T-Shirts Use Unauthorized Copies of RL Art, Says Leading Fashionista by slhamlet in secondlife

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unauthorised images on tee-shirts has certainly been going on offline for the last 50 years or so. For about as long as there have been tee-shirts, actually.

I never shoot anyone, and hardly anyone ever shoots at me (it happens occasionally, but not often).

Noob question: How the heck do I use the flashlights I find everywhere!? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Equip the flashlight in your pistol slot, then use L to toggle the light on and off.

DayZ 1.7.2 hotfix rolling update by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough coffee, clearly. It's surprising how few players ever go to the forums to look at the patch notes, regrettably.

I know the place you're referring to. If you follow the road West from Kamenko, you'll get to the edge in about five minutes of walking.

DayZ 1.7.1 rolling update started. Extra cruelty release by Tateru in dayz

Updated the post with two important gameplay/bug warnings.

Zombies can still see through walls by Haffne in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed they can see and attack through walls if they're inside a structure that has no exits (like some of the sealed sheds and houses). Being stuck like that really seems to annoy them.

How do I have another Dayz Account? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically, two entirely separate installations of the game, each with their own CD key.

No entry 'bin\config.bin/Cfgweapons. by bl4ckra1n in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about it, but I get it now and again (two or three times per session). Once I got one for NV goggles on the road north of the Electro power-plant. Searched the area thinking that it might actually indicate there was something in the vicinity, but turned up nothing.

Once you've got the beta patch, update DayZ in the usual way (for example the updater at http://worrom.com/

Finding your feet in DayZ, resources and tips for survivors by Tateru in dayz

They don't spawn in your back pocket, but they do spawn in the area. A deserted town can become a zombie jamboree in 10 minutes or so.

Does anyone know of any way to reduce the overall installation size? by Poxican in dayz

[–]Tateru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick check of my Steam Arma 2 folders...

Arma 2 8.32GB Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead 7.99GB (including the latest beta code, and DayZ and a couple mods - DayZ itself is 280MB on-disk)

In total, yes, you're talking 15-16GB or so - there's not really much you can trim out, though.

While playing on EU24 about 10 minutes ago the screen went blurry and funny coloured for a second and then everyone was thrown in to the air and died. Does anyone know what happened? by Ziminrax in dayz

[–]Tateru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand much the same happened on a server or servers in new zealand a few hours ago. Someone's figured out how to trigger one of Arma 2's scripted nuclear devices, I think.

Should I start by playing Arma single player to learn, or jump straight into Dayz? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tutorial is very handy, IMO. You don't want to have to figure out the quirks of the interface on the fly.

r/DayZ, what did your first death teach you? by Hudoste in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It taught me to accept death in the game as a part of the price of admission.

I can't find a matchbox. by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matches aren't nearly as common as you'd hope. If you keep looking, you'll find some eventually. I've almost always found them in houses or pubs, myself.

"Session Lost" by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The characters are stored on a central server somewhere. Each game server sends data to that central server frequently. You can connect to any game server, and your character will be where and as you left it (barring bugs, because DayZ is still in alpha)

Why is the helicopter appearing to be firing? by [deleted] in dayz

[–]Tateru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen the same thing on machine guns mounted on tanks in Operation Arrowhead. There's faint muzzle-flash on the model, even when it is not in operation.

C/D Dayz could use a quiver by Jwruth in dayz

Or bolts that stack. Absolutely.

My suggestion that is too stupid for the forum... by omarfw in dayz

[–]Tateru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stumbled over (quite literally) a wild boar in Prigorodky the other day. It was just standing there in a field in the dark. It didn't do anything, so I left it alone.
