I'm afraid I have no idea. It's been a long time since I played. I see you've asked on the Steam Workshop page and I think that's your best chance of finding out. Sorry.

​@@kodabar All good it was worth a shot I figured, I appreciate the response. Looking into this mod is how I found your channel, I look forward to watching some of your other ones :)

The AI respawns. There are no traders. There is a building system (taken from Epoch). I must warn you that building systems don't work too well. When ArmA maps are made, there is a navmesh 'baked' into them at the time of creation. It's what AI (and zombie) units use to find their way around. So when you place anything on the map during play, the navmesh is not changed. So you might find that zombies and AI units just walk right through the walls. (The same thing happens in ArmA 3 by the way).

This is the closest thing to the original DayZ. It was designed to be as close as possible to the original DayZ mod experience. So that means that the loot you find is as it was in the original and vehicles are rare. Whereas DayZ X is a more updated, modernised version that doesn't stick to the original. So this is the one you want. There's a couple of things worth noting though: Helicopter crashes don't spawn military loot like they do in the original mod. We messed up the uniforms slightly - if you spawn as a scarf-wearing pilot type, you won't be able to wear a backpack (either restart until you're not that guy or choose to be a woman). And finally, eventually the game will start to struggle - on the original, servers needed to be rebooted every few hours or so otherwise loot would stop appearing. This is the same. To mitigate this problem, you should use cheats - eg Loki's Lost Key, linked in the description - to regain your inventory and location. There is also an extra cheat built in - press 0 (zero) on the main keyboard (not the numeric keypad, 0 again and then you'll see a little menu in the top right. Press 5 to select the Magicbox. This spawns a crate full of stuff. It also includes uniforms that can solve the backpack problem. The crate disappears after a short time, so you can't just keep coming back to it.

@@kodabar oh nice, I didn't notice you replied me, I really appreciate it. Okey I tried few time Dayz X and it's nice, if is this better I'll try this. I didn't even manage it to stay alive few hours yet so I didn't experienced it :DD how does even respawn of loot work here? Can you elaborate how to use that Loki's Lost key? And is it necessary to restart game on Dayz X too? I guess I understand how to install it but how does it work and what does it do? And how long are days set? I found out one glitch, I think it's in base game but can you advice me how to prevent it? When I have weapon in primary slot and pick up another weapon, my first weapon disappear instead of droping on the ground. And I see in this version is different inventory, what are differences between them? And last thing how do I interact with AIs? I probably found only bandidts because all wanted to shoot me :D Thanks for answers again.

@@jendak2653 Here's an article about Loki's Lost Key. Most of it is about installing it, but if you scroll down, it tells you how to use it. kodabar.blogspot.com/2012/12/how-to-install-lokis-lost-key-for-daizy.html You do need to start a new game to add Loki. Whenever you add a mod, you need to restart. I think time is set to 10 times real speed. It was long ago when this was done, so I'm not entirely sure. If you pick up a watch, you'll be able to see how quickly it is moving. It's the same as it was on standard DayZ servers from back then. The weapon glitch was in the original mod. You have to be very careful when picking up or changing main weapons. Essentially, you can only have one main weapon. To carry another, you need to put it in your backpack. When changing between them you either have to put your existing weapon in your backpack as well or put it down on the ground before switching to it. This is enormously annoying to do and you can easily lose a weapon from a slight mistake. The inventory is slightly different in this version, but almost all of the differences are visual. The way to interact with AIs is to run up to them, look at them and then use the action/mousewheel menu. If they are friendly, the mousewheel menu (appears in the top left) will offer "Recruit unit". Most AI are unfriendly. In Electrozavodsk there are some friendlies that will join you automatically. There's a church across the road from a fire station. As you approach the front doors of the church, a couple of friendly units will appear and join you (without needing to use the menu). Once you have friendly units in your party, you can command them from the action menu or the map. You won't need to do this, other than to tell them to get in a vehicle. You'll see their portrait in the bottom left of the screen and you can select them with the F keys. So F1 for the fist unit, F2 for the second, etc. And then order them with the action/mousewheel menu. Oh, I almost forgot, you asked about loot respawning. As far as I remember, it's once every in-game day. But I think loot doesn't respawn near you. I'm sorry to be so vague - this was over ten years ago. So if you go into a town, clear out all the loot, then leave the town, the next game day loot should have respawned.

@@kodabar okay thank you for you answers, the only thing i don't understand is how you wrote that after some time the loot stops spawning, does it also happen in dayz X or only in Daizy? And how should I proceed when this happens? And can I create inn this version and Dayz X own blood bags or there are only these ones which can only someone othe trasfer it and if so can AI unit transfer it? Sorry for so much questions but this game is so complex and it's hard to know about it but I like it :))

@@jendak2653 Loot stops spawning because your computer needs to keep track of every item that spawns. When you approach a building, there is no loot inside it. Once you reach a certain distance from the building (about 100 metres if I remember correctly), then the loot spawns. Once it has spawned, the computer has to track it. Once you've been to a lot of places, the computer has to track more and more items until it's too much for it and keeping track of existing items leaves it without enough processor time to calculate and spawn new items. You need to play for several (real life) hours for this to happen. This also used to happen to DayZ servers, which is why they were always rebooted every few hours. This affects DaiZy and DayZ X equally (because DayZ X is based on DaiZy). Eventually it even begins to affect zombie spawning. When this happens, you need to restart the game - which will begin with a fresh map with nothing spawned. The important things that you'll want to carry over are your location and your inventory. Nothing else matters. You can use Loki's Lost Key to give yourself all the inventory items you had and use its teleport function to put yourself back where you were. Hardly ideal, but it solves the problem.

There is a lot of argument about that. In Japan, it is widely believed that he was from Okayama Prefecture, but that's a modern invention. The reality is that no one knows. The boy was born from a giant peach, so the story isn't exactly factual...

Is the problem with the DayZ Launcher (for ArmA 2) or the DZSALauncher (for DayZ standalone)? I might be able to help, but it's been a long time since I looked at this, so I certainly can't promise anything.

@@kodabar Thanks for replying so quick, it's a problem with the Daylauncher for Arma 2, i've used it since about 2017, then updated it about two weeks ago and since then hasn't opened without a message saying "the launcher was unable to download the server list, no local copy has been saved..." When clicking the OK in that box it just closes and that's that, i've uninstalled Arma 2 , OA, Steam, several times, Run as Admin and all but resigned myself to not playing it online again, (glad i found your video actually) any ideas would be very appreciated,

@@stwhat6014 Ah, this is the worst possible error. There are several possible things that can cause it (and a couple of impossible ones too). And that's the problem - there isn't just one cause, so there isn't just one answer. Given what you've already tried and that you haven't updated it for years, the thing I would recommend is to update the Visual C and dot Net runtimes. There are several different versions of the Visual C runtime files and you may need multiple versions. Ugh. This link is to an installer that will add all of them. You may find that it complains about something already being installed. This is normal. If the option to repair is there - use it. And then just proceed until it's finished - it'll take a couple of minutes. www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/visual_c_redistributable_runtimes_aio_repack.html Alternative: workupload.com/file/csT9s7vLspW Dot net also needs to be installed. There isn't an all-in-one installer for that, but you only need two versions, so it's not so bad. 3.51 SP1 dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net35-sp1 4.8 dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net48 Install these, reboot your machine and run try the launcher again. And if this doesn't work, I don't know what will. So fingers crossed...

@@kodabar That's brilliant, thanks for all of this, i'm about to start cooking (Thai pork loin and stir fry with noodles) so will try it later or tomorrow, girlfriend's birthday tomorrow so it might even be Monday - but i'll get back to you and let you know how it went/ is going thanks again man, you've been the most amount of help

@@stwhat6014 Ooh, Thai pork loin! Nice. Despite having a Chinese wife, I think we're just having pizza. I hope tomorrow goes smoothly for you (and her).

That will always happen eventually. Back in the day, servers would need to be restarted every few hours. This was because every item that spawned was tracked forever and eventually the amount of zombies and loot that had been created would occupy all the spare processing cycles and there was no capacity for new ones. So when servers were restarted, they 'forgot' about all the items they were tracking and began again. It's the same with this single player version. It eventually has so many items to track that it just gets bogged down. The solution is to start a new game. The important things to carry over are your inventory and your location. In the video description, there's a link to Loki's Lost Key, which allows you to change your loadout and teleport, so you can begin a new game, use Loki and be back where you were before. If you don't want the hassle of adding another mod, there is a secret cheat that we built in to the default version, which ought to be present in this modified version (I didn't make DayZ X). On the main keyboard (not the numeric keypad), press 0 (zero), 0 again and you'll see a little menu in the top left of the screen, which allows you to select the 'magicbox' by pressing the appropriate number. This will spawn a crate near you, that contains a ton of weapons and clothing. It will disappear after a few minutes, so you won't be tempted to keep going back to it. Use that to gear yourself up. You won't be able to teleport to your previous position, but maybe that's okay?

@@kodabar It absolutely is okay, thank you for the very thorough response on this fairly old video. I had a blast playing this all day today and will consider the magicbox on the next play session and will also fiddle around with Loki. But one thing that worked well for gearing me up was to "Call for support" on the ESC Menu which allowed me to airdrop all types of guns and vehicles i could need

@@refinery__ Ah yes, that's Support Call by Kronzky. It's a great addon that feels more genuinely part of the game. This is the page that details what it can do. Note that it's designed for normal ArmA missions, so some of the functions aren't really relevant to DayZ. kronzky.info/addons/supportcall/

That's a very good question and I wish I knew the answer. It uses four screws to mount the board. I'm afraid I don't have any other PCBs that would physically fit in the case. Most numpad PCBs I've seen (which is not many) have mounting holes at the corners, whereas this one has them set in by one column and one row (apart from one, which is two rows up from the bottom). I suspect that means this is a proprietary layout which isn't compatible with others. I don't know for sure though.

@@kodabar Ah I see. Thanks for your thoughts anyway!

This is the forum link. It had to be moved and I didn't update the link. Sorry. You may still struggle to finding working downloads though. Most are several years old. kodabar-dayz-daizy-single-player-forum.163.s1.nabble.com/Unofficial-DaiZy-releases-f1086.html

Basically, this is emulating a server setup. If you remember what the online mod was like back then, servers needed to be reset regularly - otherwise they're get slow and clunky trying to keep track of all the objects. So eventually (depending on the power of your computer), this will get the same way. And there's no easy way around it. However, all that really matters is your location and inventory. So you can use Loki's Lost Key (in the description above) to cheat both. So if your game gets slow, start a new one and teleport to your old position and cheat in your previous inventory. It's not ideal, but it's all you can do really.

Oh, that's really nice to hear. Thank you. It's always a pleasure to hear about people's experiences. I can't believe this is still going, but it somehow is...

Hmm, that's unusual. I can't remember ever seeing that before. Let's just go over a couple of things. I do apologies if some of these question seem moot or obviated, but it's best to be sure without assuming. 1. You have ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead installed - yes? You need both. Or the combined pack that includes them both. 2. Ideally, you should have run each one individually at least once before trying to play this mod. That's because each places items in the Windows registry when first run, but now when run with mods. Have you run both of them (without mods) like that? You just need to start them up to the main menu and then quit out. 3. Are these on Steam? Or are they outwith Steam? Steam versions are always fully up-to-date. Non-Steam (or even pirated - not that I mind) versions may be older versions. The mod version of DayZ always required the latest versions of ArmA 2 and Operation Arrowhead - to the point that OA even required beta patches to be installed. 4. During the installation You took the ZIP file from the link above and placed the two folders in your OA folder - yes? 5. You have edited the shortcut with the -mod=... bit. Did you remember to put the @ sign in there? People commonly forget. It should read -mod=@DayZX (to match the folder name). Yes? 6. When you're picking the scenario, you are choosing DayZ X (or DayZ X No AI) - yes? A common problem is in OA not recognising the installation of ArmA 2. And that's where the Chernarus (land you play on) files are located. Usually it would give an error about deleted or missing content. There are multiple ways to solve this. The easiest is to go into the ArmA 2 folder, look for a sub-folder called Addons and copy and paste that into the main OA folder. That's where the Chernarus files live. This is a harmless thing to do, so might be worth doing regardless of anything else.

@@kodabar Thanks for responding! I will try all of this when i get home!

Do you have ArmA 2 installed (as well as Operation Arrowhead)? It is most likely missing the Chernarus files, which are part of ArmA 2. There's a few ways to solve this, but the easiest is to go into the ArmA 2 folder, look for a sub-folder called "Addons" and copy that into the Operation Arrowhead folder. It contains the Chernarus files.

Vou tentar fazer um vídeo sobre isso. Meu horário de trabalho tem tomado muito tempo recentemente, mas tentarei fazer um em breve.

Acho que farei um vídeo sobre como instalar e jogar 'Epoch' atualmente. Faz muito tempo que não o instalo, então isso pode levar algum tempo para ser feito. Mas você pediu tão gentilmente que acho que seria rude da minha parte recusar. Não posso prometer quando farei isso.

Por favor, desculpe meu português. Estou tendo que usar o Google Tradutor. “Epoch” foi muito solicitado. Receio que simplesmente não seja possível. Os desenvolvedores não divulgaram os arquivos do servidor, então não temos nada com que trabalhar. Houve algumas tentativas de fazer "Epoch Lite", mas elas realmente não funcionaram. Desculpe.

You may prefer DayZ X: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4bPmmRojb-We8k Or DayZ 2018 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqGzmpSMZ7mYepo They're more challenging in genereral. 2018 is particularly difficult.

The newest icons never really worked. They might work before reloading a save, but they'd definitely be broken after that. The problem with trying to get Origins to work is that it used a server. And you're trying to use it with only the client files. You'd need to get hold of the server files, integrate them, then recode this mod to interface with the server and client files. None of that is easy. That's why there tended to be a separate release of these single player mods for each map and modification to play. It's not hard to get the map to work, but you won't find any items of zombies because these are generated by the server that isn't there. There was an attempt to make an Origins offline single player mod, but it never got very far. And that was ten years ago, so I don't think there's ever going to be one.

@@kodabarAwesome, thanks for the reply. Do you happen to know where I can find a Taviana map? The one that i'm running around on in my broken origins has massive artifact glitches.

@@Vagabor123 Oh gosh, no. It's been a long time since I've touched this. And I recall that Taviana was a particular problem as there were two Taviana maps originally. One of them was withdrawn, which left the future of the other in doubt. I looked for a Taviana map some time ago and was unable to find either of the originals. With the demise of certain prominent ArmA sites of the time, it would seem that many things are gone forever. Sorry.

You've missed out the @ sign. -mod=@DaiZy However, I'm curious as to the discrepancy in the names. If you downloaded from the link in the description here, you should end up with a file called "DayZ X 1.8.0.3.zip" Inside it are two folders: Missions and @DayZX. These should be placed in your Operation Arrowhead folder and then the target line would be -mod=@DayZX. Did you download from a different place?

thank you idk what was wrong with my files bc i included the @ sign i forgot in my message here ofcourse lol but the zip you just sent in your comment worked thanks so much!

@@kodabaris there anyway to update the mod a little to fix some things like the zombies coming through walls and stuff?

@@duhdardar624 No, I'm afraid there isn't. All AI pathfinding, including zombies, is dependent on navmesh. This is an invisible mesh that is baked into the landscape when it's created. It controls what patch the zombies take. If building are later added to the map, the navmesh is not updated, so zombies can walk through the walls of buildings added after the map was made. Almost all buildings were created with the map, so it shouldn't happen very often. This is ten years old. And it's a variation of a mod, of a mod, of a military simulator (that is in itself fifteen years old). I'm sorry to say, there will be no updates possible. If you're having trouble with zombies, here are some tips: Zombies operate by line-of-sight. If they can see you, they will follow you forever. If they lose sight of you, they will continue to the last place they saw you. So if you have zombies chasing you, run round the corner of a building or through some trees. The zombies last saw you at the corner and will continue to there. If you run around another corner, they won't know where you have gone. If you run inside a building, zombies will follow, but they are unable to run indoors. So if you can identify a building with two entrances, you can run in one, through the building and out the other side, to create a distance between you. Or shoot them more easily indoors. Zombies can't run faster than you (and many zombies can't run at all). As a result of these mods for ArmA 2, a mod was developed for ArmA 3, called Ravage: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1376636636 It's similar to this, but it is improved in every way. And it's designed as a framework to make it easy for people to make their own missions. And so there are hundreds of Ravage missions: steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=107410&searchtext=ravage&childpublishedfileid=0&browsesort=textsearch&section= If you've got Arma 3, then you might take a look at that at some point.
