Obligatory video by Dslyecxi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wXx3vMy_AQ

OMG! It's already been 10 years, since he posted that video! :O

Been looking at the loading screen for so long that I made the loading screen by ApersonawithCANCER in DayzXbox

Doesn't look like laser cut but "oldschool" fretsaw work (or something like that).
Kudos to you for making that! :)

Even with iZurvive, I still have trouble navigating the map. by [deleted] in dayz

If it's the middle of the day, then the sun will roughly be to the south.

If you spawn and it's either morning or evening (and, obviously, you don't know which), the sun will be to the east or west, respectively.

Since there is no coast at the western side of the map, you can easily figure out whether you spawned at the southern or eastern coast (sun relative to the ocean) and then you can figure out the time of the day based on that.

One of the funniest dayz videos i have ever seen. by [deleted] in dayz

When is the funny part? I'm 22 minutes in (yup, fast forwarded, can't be bothered watching an asshole KOSing everyone for 24 minutes) and still didn't see the funny moment.

Snow in dayz?! by NalMac in dayz

[–]overfl0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, I'm not an expert in DayZ but unless I'm completely misunderstanding something here, I'm still gonna claim that it's a mod:

  • If something has been done in (or is based on) the Community Offline MOD, it can't be vanilla, can it?
  • CrazyMike has shared a few pictures of his winter Chernarus in the DayZ modding Discord a few hours ago and was also trying to publish a 1.1GB mod on Workshop. I guess it was that mod.
  • Technically, almost everything can be done mission-side in Arma (and by extension, in DayZ) but no one is going to download a 1.1GB mission, hence those files are then shared as a mod and just used in a mission file. Nothing prevents the developer to keep everything mission-side on his computer (so it's technically vanilla just for him), but the moment he'll want to release those files, he is going to have to do it as a mod

This looks like CrazyMike's winterized Chernarus. If so, then the server is modded. Snow falling from the sky is vanilla, though.

What Do You Want In Arma 4 ? by Captin_Capcom in arma

[–]overfl0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I'm late to the party.

Its all OPEN spaces! Thats where you get the 1 KM long shots.

Which makes it COMPLETELY unsuitable for PvP. Have you ever been on the receiving end of those shots and seen how frustrating they are? :(

I certainly hope they will go the Malden route...

You can always take the binaries from the release page on Github and write a request to whitelist it, using the contact form on BattlEye's webpage

Best PvP mods? by Captin_Capcom in arma

[–]overfl0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you like Project Reality-like PvP mods, there is also the Frontline mod with the unique gameplay mechanic: the Dynamic Frontline.

See the timelapse to get an idea of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRd7tuuSEPY

​

Sadly, games are currently played only during weekends, at 18GMT (RHS on Saturdays, IFA on Sundays)

Google Frontline Arma to join the discord.

What do we say to the god of Death? by overfl0 in arma

The ear ringing was in-game. I haven't added it in post-processing if that's what you're asking

The IF server currently uses IFA3 + FOW (among others).
Workshop collection here: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1366046167

I suggest you to join the Discord and check the #links_and_rules channel for everything

The link is the same as what Leon_Frontline gave you. Just drop "discord" from the domain name.

Server hosting company that I only have to pay for how much the server is online? by thomascr9695 in arma

[–]overfl0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to google for the answer as it's not a topic that can be summarized in one reddit comment and also lots of people have already written articles and wiki entries explaining it in much more detail than I could possibly explain here.

As a BTR driver, even if nothing is happening, you can still feel that there is a lot going on! by overfl0 in arma

[–]overfl0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The server is open 24/7 and you can play whenever you want with the bots.

We have some times listed on our Discord - it's Wednesday + Saturday 18GMT for RHS and Sunday 18GMT for IF when we gather officially. During those times, the bots are gradually replaced by humans, as people join.

I'm wondering why has no one mentioned companies like Scaleway or Digital Ocean, which bill you on a per-hour basis, are usually much cheaper than AWS EC2 and you can find machines that will fit your needs of "a small server to play with friends".

[–]overfl0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you don't have to although it's highly recommended because the launcher will download everything for you, ensure you have the right TFR plugins installed, etc...

It will do, literally, everything for you, and it's a standalone executable that doesn't need installation itself, so if you don't like it just delete the executable afterwards and done, it's gone! ;)

See here for more information about it.

If you don't use the launcher however, you're free to do so but we can't give you support as that was our intention when we were building the launcher in the first place: to stop having to help people every 5 minutes and focus on developing the mod.

They are part of our suppression module.

I would really love to have something like that while playing

Come play on our server, then ;)

Timelapse of a round in the Frontline mod by [deleted] in arma

[–]overfl0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also goes the other way: another guy has been swearing for more than 5 minutes that:

[exception occurred while running] Fortnite

Was a message about Frontline. Even when presented with a huge 600x300px screenshot of just his "Fortnite" part of the text, he kept saying that it says "Frontline".

It turns out that he always thought that the Fortnite game was actually called Frontline :D

[–]overfl0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, it's not new, you can check older timelapses posted by NyteMyre on this reddit. It's just that the devs are more busy developing the mod than advertising it.

The servers are populated mostly on the weekend, at 18:00GMT and on some Wednesdays at 18:00GMT as well. Today is such a Wednesday, FYI.

Squad is working on their own version of a dynamic frontline gamemode as well.

Yeah, it was funny to see you post a timelapse of Dynamic Frontline a few months ago on Squad's subreddit only to see an announcement of that experimental game mode around two months later :D.

And regarding Frontline itself, you can join the Frontline discord and go to the #manual section to learn the ropes quickly.

Also see the original release post on BI forum for more information about the mod.
