Zombie Free Base Level: Basic I am assuming you have the tools and knowledge to install and configure mods. You can create and unpack pbo's and upload. If not please contact me i can help. You dont want pesky Zeds? Nobody does, it has nothing to do with being a wimp and NOT TAKING IT LIKE A MAN!, as some would say...simply, sometimes you just wanna build without interruptions! Here it is: I HAVE PERSONALLY TESTED THIS ON SAUERLAND,LINGOR,CHERNARUS,TAVIANA AND OVERPOCH VERSIONS, NAMALSK, PANTERA, AND SAHRANI. The reason it works is because it is a basic logic command that Arma has already embedded in the system. Step 1: Download Attachment (unzip and remove folder inside and place in a "mods" folder in your mission pbo) {mods folder is most common to use..if you dont have one please just right click in your mission pbo directory/root and make one call it: mods} Step 2: Open your config folder in your mission pbo and open the modconfig.sqf file place the following like so: // ZombiePlot call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "mods\plotbuff\init.sqf"; Step 3: Open your init.sqf file and find this portion near the top usually DayZ Epoch config spawnShoremode = 1; // Default = 1 (on shore) spawnArea = 1500; // Default = 1500 dayz_MapArea = 12000; // Default = 10000 dayz_poleSafeArea = 30; // Default = 30m, the buildable distance <---Add this line so it looks like that obviously without the red colors. (you can change the range all you want) Thats it! Pack up and upload and restart server! If you have any issues please don't hesitate to get a hold of me. I will reply soon as possible usually within the hour or two unless I am at work. plotbuff.zip

This is by far the best and easiest to configure towing mod out there to my knowledge. This is all done by class, weight. So your Truck can no longer tow a Ural, but, will know the difference between that and an ambulance or Hummer. Easy Mods by Merlin777 I try to make installations quick and simple. Following is based on Assumptions you know how to install mods and have the necessary tools to do so. If you need assistance Please Contact me on here. Step 1: Download Attached file provided Step 2: Unzip the Folder downloaded, double click on TTL_fnc, you will see another folder with same name. Remove that and place in your mission pbo folder called "mods". If you do not have mods folder create one. (things are much easier this way) Step 3: Open up your config folder in your mission pbo and open modconfig.sqf Step 4: Place in there the following: //TTL Towing call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "mods\TTL_fnc\TTL_Init.sqf"; Pack pbo and upload! That is it. You are done. You can now enjoy a normal towing system. If you want to configure what vehicles can tow you have that option too and you can also change the weight it can be allowed to tow. Thanks and hope This helps Somebody TTL_fnc.zip

Thanks for the information there.

Expectations: Be Prepared to be pissed off and frustrated. It happens! Remember you are just starting out. I have been to the depths of the Arma Code and Back. With a mixture of PHP and it's own jargo language, maybe a little java style thrown in somewhere, I would suggest if you are a beginner not to delve into the code yourself. For those that want help with Learning the Mods, I can guide you with what you have not been able to do yet. Zupa is another guy who will back you up and help you with the single currency w/w/o online banking. However Here are some Basic Things you can Do yourself without paying for mods. Requires virtually no coding. I assume you have the tools you need to extract PBO's and have a basic understanding of the SS control panel ALL OF THE FOLLOWING MODIFICATIONS ARE IN THE EPOCHCONFIG.SQF Self BloodBag: Yes! There are two ways of doing so, 1 is paid support which adds the Scroll Action menu to select self bloodbag. However, if you are ok with right clicking on a Blood Bag and want to save $$$ for a more advanced Mod SS can install for you than Follow this:(it's always good to know where to put your money into) ---In your Mission.pbo, you will find a Folder Called Config:In the folder you will see epochconfig.sqf, (always open with a program called Notepad++ just because it is so organized. Learn to love it) DOWNLOAD IT HERE Scroll on down till you see this: //DZE_SelfTransfuse Allows Players to Self-Bloodbag DZE_SelfTransfuse = true; <----SET to true if you want self bloodbag! Right..simple. //DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [blood amount, infection chance, cool-down DZE_selfTransfuse_Values = [12000, 15, 300]; No Weight Limit: //R3F Weight DZE_R3F_WEIGHT = false; <----Set to False to have no weight limit Custom Loadout and Where to put what with what ID's (Classnames): Below is what it looks like in your epochconfig.sqf //Customize fresh spawn loadout DefaultMagazines = []; DefaultWeapons = []; DefaultBackpack = ""; DefaultBackpackWeapon = ""; DefaultMagazines is for any item you place in your primary(food, ammo, parts, money) or secondary(bandages, clips, m203 rounds) inventory. DefaultWeapons is for any guns/rifles or kit(hatchet, map, Bbnoculars, NVGs) items. DefaultBackpack is as it would sound, the pack you start out with. DefaultBackpackWeapon =""; I would not alter just because it has it's issues when placing certain items Here is a Good list of Items Id's (Class Names you can use) (http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=757116) 1 Step Construction is also in the Epoch Config No Plot Pole Requirement GodMode Bases Halo Spawn Tame Dogs All the above is fully available in the epoch config file. Take a look around and adjust your settings to your liking. Remember after all is done, save often, and pack your pbo and upload. If you need a step by step tutorial on how to do this. I can show you. Contact me on here. Slow Zombies: This is one of the easiest mods to install (I have included the slowzombie file you will need) Download the File and Unzip and create a folder in the root of your mission pbo. Root is referred to the main directory. If you need assistance contact me. Create a Folder called: mods (you will be using this a lot of times) Place in that new created folder my attachment "slow_zombies" (unzipped of course) that you downloaded Back out and go to the Config Folder and open up the modconfig.sqf //Delete all text you will see by Survival Servers// (this keeps things clean and organized) on the first line place it like so: //SlowZeds call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "mods\slow_zombies\init.sqf"; // <--Indicates a break and lets you type in a memo or sentence for organizing and finding purposes. Pack up your PBO and Upload. Restart your Server. Voila! Slow Zeds. Literally takes you 2 minutes make sure when you Unzip the attachment you dont place the entire folder into the mods folder. make sure you take the unzipped folder only. so like this: When you double click on "slow_zombies (after unzip) you will see another folder inside called "slow_zombies" that is the one you want. ENJOY! If you would like some other basic help Let me know, and if I made some mistakes or was unclear Please point it out and I will fix it. Thanks Spend that extra $60 you were gonna spend on the above mods onto something more complicated like "paint vehicles", "Master Key mods" Survival Servers has a nice list of mods that even I rather not mess with! Let them handle the harder things I also can help with currency questions. I will try to respond within the hour or two unless I am at work. slow_zombies.zip

well in that respect, im sure everyone selects the "High Priority" level lol. Well, I just would like to know if it is something I can control on my side is all. But I will respect it this time, and try to be patient. It's less than $1 a day which is low as it is. Maybe offer training to people. When server don't show up: "WHAT TO DO" type forum. Possible causes, and just reassurance can make all the difference. Thanks for the reply. Wish the energy was used up on resetting the server lol.

Believe me...I get, I reaaaaaaally do. But when it's simple things like map issues or servers not showing up. I know you guys have fixed this millions of times in minutes. Some issues should be directed into separate categories and maybe the easier issues could have a better feel to it for customers. While still working on solutions to the more complex problems, at least you are knocking out the stuff that can be done quicker.

Sorry everyone Im sure it's too late now. i will help if i can. My posts never went through and for a time I dropped SS.

I am not going to go on a rampage again, I surely do not have the strength anymore (mentally). (Calmly): Can we start getting better support Please. I understand there are 3 People maybe a 4th that are working with Survival Servers, I also understand it is not a big company and most likely all 3 are sitting next to each other and hold down other jobs part time. But can you just hire like 10 people to do support 24/7? Im sure $8/hr plus free server would be more than beneficial. 10-20 hrs each a week. You can afford that much especially with the influx of Arma3 Players. Because when you have excellent Customer Service and Rapid Response...you start to climb that ladder and get more business. It is no secret you guys are at the bottom of the review charts all over Google. I find myself time and time again stuck when nobody is around to help or reply. My server is not showing up in any launcher, commander and only one it shows up on is the Multiplayer Steam default list, however, I cant play my server because nothing is working, it wont launch from there. Also Most companies Like GTX, Vilayer, Fastpointgaming, gamingdeluxe and gamemodders, have a very quick response time. Can we please start increasing this? Maybe hire a few people to reset the Panels when they crash, or I am sure there is someway others can contribute just a few hours a week without having to be very advanced in scripting. Decided to give ya guys another go about... ---Finding myself regretting the $40.00. P.S. Nearly every other company I used or friends used and got setup...IMMEDIATELY IT WAS ON THE LAUNCHERS! I am now going on 7hrs roughly. GAME SERVERS - GAME SERVER ID #4987
