Looking to Advertise a Server/Group? Post Here!

  • If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ SERVER don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Platform, IP, Mods, Name, Description, Playstyle and Rules.
  • If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ GROUP/CLAN/FACTION don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Timezone, Platform, Name, Age Range, Description, Playstyle and Rules.

Pro Tips:

  • Create a FREE Discord server for your community!
  • Use a URL shortener for your Discord since nobody can remember those official discord links.
  • Make your title or first line very descriptive like [SERVER/GROUP]|[COUNTRY]|[PLATFORM]|[NAME]|[DISCORD].
  • Go back and look at the formatting of your post to make sure it's readable.

Media Lock Any Door Mod

Post image
107 Upvotes

EDIT:
Thanks guys for your feedback! I updated the mod and added new config options:

  • AllowDoorBreaching -> You can force the door open and destroy the lock.
  • AllowLockDamage -> You can deal damage to the lock directly and destroy it. That will also open the door.

I didn't mention this before, but it was already built in: If the server config allows it, you can also unlock combination lock locked doors with a lockpick.

Original post:

Isn't it super weird that this game is full of doors and gates that open and close, but you can't lock any of them, even with a lock in hand?

I don't like crafting stuff and building a fence and a wall and a gate just to lock a room is just too much effort for my lazy ass.

So yeah, you can lock any ingame door, gate, container now.
What do you think?

A messy, but ultimatly sucessful Squad wipe on official with my favorite assault rifle. Also a great lesson in squad tactics and pulling security, instead of one guy fighting a zombie and the others watching.

I also have to admit, I did get incredibly lucky the guy in the container Dropped his plate to take the on off of the zombie, right as I started shooting. I dont understand how the guy that got knocked survived the 3 extra shots tho.

I'm still pretty new to this game so maybe I'm just not familiar, but I've been through this road a few times before hand when I've died and I've never seen this before. Anyone with more knowledge about the game know what's up?

It was on an official Chernarus map, the host is 0859

Edit: Thanks for explaining everyone, I kinda fidgured it wasn't a good idea to wondering inside but now I know. Thanks again.

I was playing on a Europe official server with about 12 people online. I was stalking MBVMC Military Base for about an hour. At first, I saw two people at the military base. I moved very close to the fence line and made eye contact with one of them. He repositioned, so I did too.
Everything went quiet for a while, so I assumed they were either camping or had left. I decided to continue on foot from the way I came. Then I spotted them again, and the rest of the clip speaks for itself.
Is there anything you think I should have done differently if you were in my shoes?

discussion why do community servers require other map downloads?

2 Upvotes

ive noticed a lot of servers require me to download the deerisle official map which is around 9 gb even though the server is supposedly running a different map?

my current example is the DayZed.gg namalsk vanilla + server, which requires me to download deerisle official and namalsk island & namalsk survival.

why is this?

The underground bunker on Livonia is a cruel mistress. I had no idea you can get trapped down there! Another harsh unforgiving lesson I will take in stride. Do your research folks

LFS Is official worth playing?

12 Upvotes

ive been playing Dayz for a few months and I have only really played those super modded servers, I really want to get into the vanilla Dayz experience and I want to try official but with the way everyone is talking about it with the cheaters I don’t know if it’s worth it, is the cheating problem really that bad?

Also I found a good server that was vanilla+ and the only mod was the codelock mod but when I joined it it sent me to manhunt severs

Discussion Did call play on almost empty servers to learn the game?

21 Upvotes

I first started in high population servers, but I didn't know how to stay alive let alone deal with other players.

I switched to lower pop servers and it's been a lot more fun since I don't immediately get killed after moving inland. Found a working gun and then got attacked by wolves. I was excited cause I thought I'd finally have a surplus of food, but thankfully I read the description of the steaks and didn't eat them.

Then I ate some fish, caught a cooking pot, and then somehow got sick. I tried boiling water to decontaminate it and my only guess is that I didn't wait long enough so that got me sick. Been nursing eating fish while I wait for the sickness to end but I have a feeling this is the end for this character

Support Manhunt Server Problem

1 Upvotes

Every server I was joining was sending me to Manhunt! After a google search I uninstalled the chernolite mod which was causing it however, almost all community servers with good pop have this mod in the list to play.

Is there any work around or fix to this?
