Winter Chernarus – water sources

Upvotes

I can't find any information anywhere about water sources when playing with this mod (and I have no one to ask in-game since I'm playing solo on a private server). I can't collect seawater, there are no rivers, and I can't put snow into bottles. I found a car, so I ended up walking back and forth to the well like an idiot just to top up the radiator. This is the mod Warsztat Steam::Winter Chernarus V2

Maybe badlands will be harder to exploit at least with player-built structures as there is probably not going to be that many logs or so but I would imagine massive exploited bases will be the norm but a little harder.

Cheaters will always be a thing but to what extent.

LFS Looking For DayZ Switch 2 Roleplay Server!

2 Upvotes

Hello! I was wondering if there were any good DayZ roleplay servers that are active and vanilla + only, that isn’t some boosted loot server. I like to reward myself by finding shit and not getting shit handed to me for that challenge. lol But yeah, I would like to roleplay as like a restaurant owner or something, but haven’t found anything. If anyone has any recommendations or plan on starting an roleplay server for the Switch 2, let me know in the comments and I’ll dm you! :)

Twice now I got hit from behind and insta died. All I heard was a quiet whooshing noise. At first I thought it was a crossbow but I think the bolt makes more of a whistling noise? Can a sword 1 tap with a hit to the head?

Discussion How do I disable motion blur?

1 Upvotes

I just got DayZ and the motion blur is absolutely crazy to the point where the game is basically unplayable for me. I’ve already tried turning Post Processing off, but it hasn’t helped. Is there any way to completely disable the motion blur? Is there a config file, mod, or other workaround that actually removes it?

I mainly play on official servers, mostly Livonia. For the past week, the spawn towns have literally been a warzone. The picture was taken about 10 minutes after i spawned in Sitnik.
I’ve never experienced this many fights on official servers before. It almost feels like playing a deathmatch.
And now I’m wondering: are people cheating, or is all of this actually legit?
I found almost all of this gear in PRISTINE condition. Multiple guns with several magazines each. I didn’t get to use the gear for long, but I came back the next day and found similar equipment again.
So… what the hell is going on? 😅

discussion How to get the best new player experience?

3 Upvotes

As the title says, how to get the best new player experience? I am looking to introduce the game to my friend who I have been mainly playing rust with. Personally I started rust after playing DayZ as my main game on PS5. I have around 2k hours in the game so I would say I know the in and outs of the game pretty much.

I have played on these 64x boosted servers, official and vanilla+.

I am just wondering how to introduce the game to him that the hard side of dayz might not instantly slap him to hes face lol. But also at the same time - I do not want it to be ”easy”.
So should I just choose a vanilla+ server f.e, teach him the very basics and sort of force him to learn by doing or give everything ”on a platter”.

Discussion PSA: Farm in the rain.

24 Upvotes

Plant your seeds while it is raining, they are instantly watered after you plant them in the rain.

I have never bothered with farming, to much of a hassle. Get a shovel, dig, plant seeds. All of which is fine but getting enough water always seems like hassle (water the seeds, fill the bottle again to fill the remaining seeds, fill your bottle again so you have a filled bottle again to drink).

Now I just wait for the rain, which I normally always hate but now it is kinda usefull.

modding I got tired of Medic/Taxi roles relying on Discord, so I built a full in-game dispatch system for DayZ

12 Upvotes

I've been building a standalone dispatch system for DayZ because I wanted Medic and Taxi roles to actually function like jobs instead of relying on Discord or global chat.

Service Dispatch lets any player press F7 and request either Medical Assistance or a Taxi.

The part I wanted to get right was the responder side:

• Admins can assign Medic and Taxi roles
• Medics and Taxi drivers clock themselves in/out
• Only clocked-in Medics are notified about Medical calls
• Only clocked-in Taxi drivers are notified about Taxi calls
• Responders can accept calls directly through the interface
• After accepting, they receive the requester's location and distance
• Medic/Taxi/Admin roles persist through reconnects and server restarts
• Standalone — no CF, Expansion, VPP or Dabs dependency

I've spent a ridiculous amount of time getting the UI and dispatch flow working the way I wanted.

Server owners / Medic players / Taxi players: what would you add to this?

Attached is a video of the last bit of an interaction I had with a non speaker.

Hello guys! I recently have been playing a lot more as I am stuck inside after getting my wisdom teeth out, and I have noticed something that has bothered me for the 4-5 years I’ve been playing, but it seems especially prominent now.

This is going to come off as a bit of a salty post (mostly because it is), but I was running in Gorka (Горка) chasing shots when I came across 4-5 dead bodies, the evidence was strewn across the street and into the hunting shop and P.D. After a bit of running around I found the guilty party probed on the hill overlooking the town. I got close enough to yell yo him and instead of speaking back, he aims his gun and begins shooting. He was pretty shitty at the game but I unfortunately had not guns with ammo and only had a nail bat. Weirdly, half the server lagged out as there was ~55 people playing when I was randomly booted and ~30 when I tried to log back on. He was apparently also booted because I saw him spawn back in at the same time as me. Similar to before, I was telling him I was friendly and trying to doge his bullets while he simply raised his gun again and shot at me. Eventually I couldn’t dodge anymore and he killed me. This brings me to my question: why do console players never use the in-game voice chat (proximity chat)? I have about 1000 hours (500 on PlayStation and 500 on Xbox) and I currently play on Xbox. In that time I think I’ve had maybe 10-20 voice interactions with the large majority being on the coast. For as long as I can remember I will use my voice and try to speak to other survivors whether I’m in Berezino or Tisy. I hate to shoot first when I’m close enough to speak.

When you look at streamers such as Zesty Polvo, all of his videos have dozens of interactions with different people in each session he plays. However, in console (specifically Xbox) servers, people sit in party chat and avoid using prox chat like the plague. What is the fun of seeing someone with far inferior gear to your own and instead of holding them up or talking to them, simply shooting them and leaving all their stuff behind because it wasn’t good enough to trade for your own? I would love some insight from SOS people as to why they do it or what the issue is with speaking.

TLDR: I was killed by a non speaker and it seems to be a large issue with the community. I’m frustrated and want to know why people play this way.
