From Zero to DayZ: How to Setup DayZ And Last More Than Five Minutes In-Game

[Nekosan]

Little trick if you wanna clear out a building an there's a player inside, throw in a smoke grenade an back off. the Zombie's will kill him for you. Once the smoke goes away the Z will disperse.

Throw a smoke grenade into my building and I'm just going to not move, zombies aggro the smoke and then stand around like idiots, thanks for giving me a zombie shield

not any more they dont neko ... I did it to to idiots last night an it killed both of em.

Zombies go for smoke over player.
If the players run into the zombies or shoot them then maybe they will get attacked, but smoke is the preferred target.

Those players you managed to kill only died because they made the wrong move (or any move for that matter), be prone in that situation and unless they're on top of you then they don't aggro (unless last patch changed something).

I was very trusting of people before, but it cost me too many times to wait and see what peoples motives are. Current life has 1 murder recorded and another not due to a server restart 10 seconds after firing, but I have a DMR and enough supplies to camp in overwatch of Chernagorsk picking off bandits for probably the whole weekend. Or to go on a stroll through the woods to hunt down Freeborne to reclaim my honour. Either or

Good to see some familiar names from the forums popping up on the servers now too. Just don't come near me in my current life, I've gotten pretty protective of it
Still havn't found me any NVG's yet, but someone who did said that finding them changes you

yer i saw when freebourne got hit other day. I tend to live in the NW forest now. My Tents up there an innt no-one can find it:). I just come out to rain towns an kill a few people then go back inside treeline.

Just wanted to say a big thanks for the OP. After reading how simple it should be to get up and running with this mod I decided to buy the game off Steam. Kicked that off yesterday morning and by 9pm last night I was on the server. Really enjoyed it. Got killed but expected that. The setup guide was flawless.

For anyone that ever played pen and paper Twilight 2000 back in the 80's, this is kind of how I would see that game translate into a shooter (minus the zombies of course)

cheers

Worked better as an isometric RTT/RPG, IMO. I loved that video game (came out in 1992, courtesy of Paragon).
