The little bird has been like this since the launch of Arma 2, it's always funny how things like this appear to be our doing.  Little bird's nimble nature and size attribute to one of it's strengths as a flight vehicle, applying more to Epoch; you can land one in some of the thickest forests in the game for concealment.  I'm just surprised after all of these years that it's now just become an issue.

What is everyone suggesting?  That we boost it's speed?  Keep in mind, If we're talking realism here...a couple 5.56 rounds could take one of these offline with a couple accurate groups.
I've been proned out with Mark 48 unloading an entire clip into seemingly vital parts with little to no response but the warning beep. 

The same could be said for all choppers I guess, particularly the mi:17's...but if we were to attempt changing something like this, I would root for overall armor reduction for all of them.  Ya know...to keep it real.

Lets add some new code for the zombie mechanic.
if player="fisk" make him ded and zombie.

There have been other pressing issues to attend to bud, it's all a work in progress.
Do you sit over the shoulder of an artist sculpting clay "Hey...that kinda looks like a prick right now....pretty much worst sculpt I've ever seen.".

You give me the impression you sneak into stranger's homes and grade the crayon drawings on their fridge with a red Sharpie.

We'll also be including this variant of the Ind_Pec0a with loot spawns and completely explorable interior in the upcoming patch.  Has Ai pathing throughout the entire structure as well as painstaking detail taken to make it nooby proof in terms of collision geometry(no breaking legs on silly invisible stuff).  Very tight fire geometry as well so bullets should only be hitting what is visibly an obstruction, and should shoot through windows etc with proper penetration values. 

I started working on this particular project in the middle of last year solely as an educational activity and never intended on releasing it; primarily because it was a modification of Bohemia's work(The shell that consisted of 30 faces :3).   But NOW, since Bohemia released all of the source models, including this one....we decided to finish this project and sneak it in with the patch.  Hope some of you get into some sort of trouble in this structure. Enjoy!

I don't recommend adding these items to the traders, as they can be found in the world, are quite valuable for numerous reasons and should be treated as such.
 

Our server was updated to 1.0.3 last night so a friend and I searched the farm areas for 3 hours before we found one... WORTH. EVERY. MOMENT.
 
Pro-tip: when you find the chainsaw, go somewhere with a lot of trees and with a lot of storage (like a Ural) and cut everything down and store it.  The chainsaw I found was full (1000 fuel) and I think even had a 2nd "clip", but I logged out after only using ~400 and it was totally empty when I got back on.

These two comments are at odds with each other.

Very excited to see where this goes. Lots of creativity and instrinsic value built up in these devs. Thanks for your time and effort guys. I'm expecting to remain a supporter/promoter of the mod for some time to come. 

As Bohemia recently released some of the sources for these characters I've been putting around with them and trying to develop a solid workflow for making them playable...and moving forward customizable in terms of skins etc.

The largest barrier is that they used a completely different skeleton that isn't directly compatible with a large portion of the animations we cycle through as a playable unit.  I've made quite a bit of progress so far and I'll keep you guys posted as things develop.

As for making the females more combat friendly and to avoid any in-game disadvantages, that has been my primarily goal along side the feature of having a wider variation for female characters. 

I'll cover a couple technical issues that have to be considered when approaching this portion of the mod.

Skins:  Simply replacing a color/diffuse image for how the texture is wrapped around the character mesh can get complicated, a lot of times the results differ greatly from how the texture looks out the gates.
            Due to the use of more involved materials using numerous texture maps with specific traits in each color channel to gain the desired effect with shaders,  its not a drag and drop process.
            Beyond that, we can't just substitute our own materials for these characters, as the game doesn't allow it due to binarization and the materials being "baked" into the model it's self.

All that being said, we now have access to more of the characters and can redistribute them with our modifications once it's all figured out how to do it properly.  More than likely I will have to break these meshes down to their most primitive form and completely re-rig them using a skeleton that is suitable for standard weaponized play. 

I'll keep you guys posted and perhaps I'll use a new thread to keep everyone up to date on progress with this.  As it's very important to me for our players to be represented equally, whether that be with weapon choice or vanity.
Although male builds with female heads would be dogshit easy, I feel that's unacceptable and you guys deserve more realistic looking female frames. 

  Much love to you all, thank you your support and attention; we hope the recent patch has offered some exciting new gameplay.
 

Nope, and I'd actually prefer you edit your image lol.  We don't intend to use anything from DayZ.  Nothing; no assets, code etc.
@Axe Cop in regards to starting fresh,  it's actually quite liberating; and of course it's going to be involved...but not nearly enough to discourage it from happening.

I'm on it doll face.

Nice work, the Uaz van and jeep look nice; there's a trick to help the Suv look a little better.  I know it's difficult because it's using a completely mirrored UV for the frame, making more detailed textures stick out in a negative way.  Feel free to hop on the epoch team-speak at some point if you'd like to chat more.

Keep in mind Hayward, we're rolling these patches out to hundreds of individuals.  Although we try to keep it as customizable and genderless as possible, the change you're referring to is for performance and security reasons.
You're not required to update to the latest unreleased build(even though it sounds like you already have-question mark).  Sorry bud, we're not intentionally trying to toss a wrench in the gears for you guys going a step beyond in terms of modification; but there are times when the streams will cross.

Lmao. Please don't tempt me to model up and conRig a stylized boxing glove and accordion hinge.
"Upgrade Locked Garage door to POW Locked Garage door"

Players are not only loosing gear but cinder walls and garage doors are also disappearing. When trying to add a combo lock to a door we also get a "not set up" msg. anybody having similar issues ?

More will be added to this list as I find the information,

And a Water Source? I can stockpile wood for my heat source was well as for boiling my water, but water is the only thing keeping me from holing up with 200 beefsteaks and screaming, "Get off my lawn!" :)

Protective domes were never part of Epoch. It's a script you add to the server yourself.

Assuming you're running a pvp server, as it's gonna be 'screwed over'. Why not add in some ammo boxes for your players to fight over ?

The ammo can be found in the world and you can add it to the trader if you want. I know that my gun doesn't start with ammo and on server restart it doesn't refill it's ammo so why should the vehicles.
 
 
The time for unlimited ammo has passed.

Lol. It's an electronic safe you silly goose.
