    Postponed til 2020. IRL has caused a few of us major time delays over the course of 2019. My IRL delays were work travel during end of Q1 into end of Q2. I wont disclose anyone else's reasons or situations since those are personal matters they can share if they would like. I am working hard since my return and am getting us access to every constant in game right now, and some nice touches we added along the way for various on/off toggles.

There have been quite a few additions to EpochZ: Tanoa today:
The addition of the RDS Civilian Pack mod adding all the missing vehicles that you love so well, including the mountain bike, Thomas the Tractor, Skoda vans, an ambulance and militia car with working sirens and lights among many others. Deploy and repack a bicycle if you have a ToolKit (available in the initial gear selection). New Buildables at your base (all are saved to the database and behave as any other base parts, apart from the lack of PhysX when building): working Portable Lights, a Sink and Field Toilet (both are water sources), Razor Wire, Watch Tower, various Sandbag Walls (all in a lovely Tanoa green), Fuel Pump, large and small Camo Nets (green hex ones of course), Loudspeakers, a Burn Barrel and an ATM (which acts as an ATM unsurprisingly). Toggle on and off plot pole jammer boundary markers to see the extent of your demesne.  Dynamic Road Debris from Epoch 0.6 Experimental (this one's been there for a while). See the EpochZ community forum for the crafting recipes for the new buildables in the Tanoa section.
 

Just a couple of small changes:
Added Tryk's Multi-Play Uniforms v.0.95 - they work well with the new gender changes since the uniforms are not sided.
Took the Killed Event Handler fix from Experimental to hopefully get rid of the respawn issues. Same fix implemented on EpochZ: Black Tide.
Removed the pointless spawning jerrycans from Lootspawner (not actually sure why I hadn't done that earlier...). Same change made on EpochZ: Black Tide.

Hopefully your next question is not "how to disable Basebuilding in Epoch" ;)

Thank you all who helped with the event and participated! I will let you guys and gals know when we hold the next one 

(skip to the end for a tl;dr if you wish)
Hello,
I'm Dan also known as orangesherbet- haven't been active on these forums for some time but I've been a tester and supporter of Epoch since the early days in 2012.  More importantly, I've made lasting friendships with the development team and surrounding community of Epoch Mod. With the release of version 0.5, I wanted to organize an event that would bring all of us together to celebrate the time we've spent playing, testing, and developing (I'm not a dev) the mod!
The event itself will take place on Chernarus, where everything started!  We will have several activities for participants including a race from Kamenka debug line to NE Airfield,  a melee arena, demolition derby, "Tower of Terror" built by community developer and friend SLI, stunt contest, fishing, and base building!  
I'll be hosting the event on my stream and Discord, but I do want to make it clear that this event is about the celebration of Epoch Mod's development and not a promotion for my stream or Discord server.  I would recommend participants join my Discord server as that is where players will be welcomed to chat with each other and the admins to help us stay organized and have fun!  Feel free to leave the Discord server at the conclusion of the event if you wish.  We do have another Epoch Event in the near future and I will share that information with everyone once we have a date set!
tl;dr

0.4 b675 released:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/releases

Changes Since 672:
https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/pull/694/commits

All players changed to BLUFOR (as on EpochZ: Black Tide). The roaming, UAV spawned, dynamic and mission AI are now OPFOR, the infected are RESISTANCE meaning that when they meet each other they do now fight each other. Note that the infected are only activated when BLUFOR (a player) is nearby to avoid severe performance issues.
All players are now BLUFOR. This means that when you spawn you will have a female body. Selecting a uniform from the Initial Spawn Gear selection will put back your profile "face". You can only wear non-BLUFOR uniforms by selecting in the initial gear selection or buying from the Black Markets.
The uniforms will persist through a log or server restart. But note if you take one off and it's not BLUFOR you cannot put it back in the field.
One side benefit of this change is that all players can now buy and control AR-2 Darter UAVs.
Removed fog. Working on slightly reducing rain. Both changes needed to keep client FPS good.
BlackEagl's Mission System updated to latest version - works really well.
Coming soon to Tanoa:
Tryk's Multi-Play Uniforms (as on Black Tide) VEMF Town Invasions  

Downloaded to my test server :)
Thanks SO MUCH to the Epoch team for all their hard work on this, as well as the absolutely incredible community mod/content creators. Your hard work is appreciated and enjoyed by so many people around the world, Thank you!! 
Sending 1.0.5.1 to pasture isn't easy but I'm excited for this new build. For me it's always going to be Arma2 > Arma3 so it's great to see continuing mod development for the more "content-filled" game.

Hello all,
We are pleased to announce the release of ArmA 2 DayZ Epoch 1.0.6, available for download at: http://epochmod.com/a2dayzepoch.php
This release introduces the integration of some of the most common Epoch community modifications from prior epoch release, DayZ Mod 1.8.8, and a new group system that persists in the database.  Most of the highlights can be found in the change log below, which is fairly comprehensive, but by no means exhaustive.
Please note that community addons/expansions for previous Epoch release WILL NOT work on Epoch 1.0.6, be sure to review the change log for which mods are now included. In addition, the loot table format has completely changed, you must base your loot table modifications on the new format, which can be found by evaluating the stock loot tables: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/DayZ-Epoch/tree/Release_1.0.6/SQF/dayz_code/Configs/CfgLoot
1.0.5.1 and older Single Currency scripts are NOT compatible with 1.0.6, there is no included single currency script in this release. However, because we are so wonderful, we have chosen to integrate single currency saving to the DB, so a third-party HiveEXT is not necessary and the SQF is all that needs to be written/updated.
 

Creation of Arma 3: Epoch Mod started on December 15th 2013, and while community support has had its ups and downs along with the contest it did encourage us to spend more time working on the project. Epoch was a top 10 finalist in the MANW total conversion category and won the popular community vote and that I am very grateful for.
Epoch Development Team are all volunteers and have each put in hundreds if not thousands of unpaid hours into helping create and release Epoch Mod for everyone to enjoy. Making game ready Arma assets, game modes etc. is not easy and can be very time-consuming. Special thanks go to all those that have supported us throughout our development! Epoch Mod would not exist without you! 
Plans for next year include working with the community to further refine the MP survival framework and adding more support for singleplayer editor based missions and scenarios. The 1.0 update will bring a massive release of all remaining asset sources under APL-SA, and will be considered in the hands of the community to fork and develop as they choose. 
Happy Holidays and New Year! Cheers to the pursuit of the next big thing!

There have been many changes made on the server over the last few weeks. This post summarizes them: Two new Trader camps (Safe Zones) have been added. The Northern Camp at Molos airfield and the Southern Camp on the coast, west of Vikos. All cinder, except garage doors, metal floors, HESCOs and Base Jammers are now indestructible Fireplaces are now persistent More laser designators added and they should now persist through restart in your gear Reworked vehicle spawn system fixing the issues of exploding vics and disappearing/reappearing ones at restart. Also, all vics are now God-Moded from server restart until first unlocked Ospreys and Apaches added to roaming helo patrols Lots of new vehicles spawn on the map: armed Blackcats, armed Merlin, Seahawk, Sea Dragon, MTVRs (incl. reammo, repair and refuel - use these and the new Urals for CUP vics), Urals (incl. reammo and repair), UN vics (including BTR-60, armed UAZ and BMP-2), ION's Ka-60 Infected removed from Stavros... they were constantly attracted into the Central Trader Camp. Replaced with guerillas (courtesy of the Enemy Occupation System) to avoid opening Stavros to easy looting. A few under the covers changes to increase the difficulty of the server subtly Also, to reiterate that outside of the Safe Zones the world is an unhealthy place. Safe Zone combat is prohibited by script, camping safe zones is prohibited by a warning then a ban. All other areas are free-fire zones, including black market and Epoch traders that spawn outside the safe zones!

Anything that we released APL-SA can be modified and redistributed provided credits are given (ideally in the same place your own credits are listed) and you should release our modified game mode code and config changes under the same license.
Epoch game mode: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch
Epoch server backend: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/EpochServer
Epoch asset and configs: https://github.com/EpochModTeam/EpochCore 
The models and some other assets that are not APL-SA yet can still be used by simply using @Epoch mod as a dependency in steam workshop along side your own mod/s. As of Epoch 0.4+ I am making changes that will simplify our configs and remove most Epoch game mode related config overrides so that @Epoch mod can become more of a pure modders resource for assets, this way we can have multiple game modes SP or MP that all share the same assets. 
 
Pending permission from the authors of the models and other assets the plan is to release more and more assets as APL-SA licensed via the github links above with each major update at the same time laying the groundwork for more community contributions. 

The year is 2025, six months after person or persons unknown unleashed the H7D3 virus on the world, killing a large proportion of the world's population and turning many of the "survivors" into mindless "zombies" - feral and infectious, very much alive and very, very hungry...
Trying to create the feel of John Ringo's Black Tide Rising universe with less weaponry available, though if you want to chase Zs with a Saiga they are around. Knock yourself out.

Required Mods
Ryan's Zombies and Demons: currently using COS to spawn the Zs, though there are also native spawns around the map with more to come. Normal infected in urban areas are walkers, the spawns are fast Zombies so watch out.
CBA_A3, CUP Weapons, CUP Units, CUP Vehicles: it's 2025 with 2025 weapons and vehicles. I've completely overhauled loots.h for CUP but not increased the loot spawn chances.
CUP Terrains Core: for upcoming map changes and the ports of old Wicked AI missions.
Tryk's Multi-Player Uniforms: lots more uniforms for the uniform junkies out there. This is the one that you want if you are downloading via Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=779520435
RDS Civilian Vehicles: primarily for the deployable bicycle but you also get a load of old favourites including Thomas the Tractor and the excellent Yamaha TT650!
Enhanced Movement Mod: Sneeki Breeki your way into a base with a buddy vaulting you over the wall, or just climb on a roof or through a window to avoid the infected!
Hellenic Armed Forces Mod (HAFM): for all those nice Greek uniforms and vehicles. 
NI Arms All-in-One Mod: All the weapons and attachments from the mod are available at the traders and spawn as loot. 
Scripts
A3EAI: with vehicle and helicopter patrols. AI patrols and spawns replace the default Epoch antagonists (apart from the Epoch UAVs and subsequent militia if you don;t shoot them down). The AI will interact with the Zs and vice versa.
SEM, BlackEagl's and WAI Missions: all with weapons, equipment and loot customized for CUP and including SEM Convoy missions. And yes, there is the WAI Nuke mission. If no one's dealt with that before the timer expires run like hell
DayZ style Helicopter Crash Sites: with reduced CUP-based loot.
C-130 Supply Drops, guarded by AI and with CUP-based loot.
Deployable and packable bicycles and unarmed mozzies, so long as you have a Tool Kit (available in starting gear) and the other build parts (just Vehicle Repair Parts for a bicycle).
New buildables at your base including working Portable Lights, a Sink and Field Toilet (both are water sources), Razor Wire, Watch Tower, various Sandbag Walls, Fuel Pump, large and small Camo Nets, Loudspeakers, a Burn Barrel and an ATM.
Black Market Traders in trader camps and elsewhere.
HALO/Ground Spawns and you can select limited Starting Gear
Halv's Repair and Reammo Script, rearm and repair your vehicles in the repair shops at gas stations
 @Sp4rkY's Extended Safe Zones with Vehicle Protection!
Advanced Towing and Advanced Rappelling
Features
All players are BLUFOR, roaming, dynamic and mission AI are OPFOR, infected are RESISTANCE allowing the interaction between the Ai and infected - they will fight each other when spawned together. No building restrictions, build where ever you want 150m Jammer range 7-day base maintenance 48-hour vehicle locks 4 hour restarts, day/night cycle PvE or PvP, your choice (but remember the AI and Zs will be after you too) The only safe zones are the five marked on the map (north, south, east, west and central). Everywhere else on the map is a free-fire zone so stay frosty, and alert.

Guess you worked out the mods. I always update the first post with major changes. Thanks for the kind words, will be adding more on both Altis an our Tanoa server. Also we have several new admins coming onboard asap, all good people.
Will be adding VEMF Reloaded soon when I can code it to remove infected when the town invasions happen
