boxman80 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Been a player and supporter of Epoch a while now and have had several epoch servers. Anyway, really loving the mod and it's head and shoulders the best flavor of dayz around now. There's just one small thing that's missing now for me, additional weapon content! Surely a mod of Epoch's quality could start to think about adding the additional weapons some of the other mods have. I personally recommend the Robert Hammer weapon packs. It would be cracking to have some variety in the weapons and would make ammo scavenging much more difficult too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 It should be fairly easy for a server owner/admin to add in any weapon packs. But if you can provide a link we can look into the ones you've requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercules Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Excellent, but if the developers would consider keeping away from more of the military based packs and expanding the civilian style guns more that would be excellent. Breaking point has tons of different military guns and I left that mod because the game became a bit too easy with improved hardware. M1SE1, for example, used DMR ammo and did similar damage but things like the ACOG had a dual sight allowing it to be used up to 800 meters away effectively or with a tiny reddot style sight up close and personal. It was like crossing a DMR and M14 AIM and creating one gun that works as well as the two others. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that gun, but I think it is a bit too much for Epoch. Same thing with ACRs, especially the silenced ones. Good damage and quiet with nice sight options. boxman80 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bFe Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 One thing I'm wondering about, I added M60 and some others, but when I bought it from the trader it took up my backpack slot, but when I threw it away I would see the backpack again. Same thing that happens with hacked in weapons(M107) in vanilla DayZ I think, is this how it is or can I fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTesla Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Certain weapons in Arma 2 (like the M107 and most LMGs) take your backpack slot. DayZ mods usually make altered versions of these weapons that don't take the backpack slot. Epoch doesn't have an alternate version of the M60, since it's not in the mod by default.

Mercules Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Browning HP? That was my go-to pistol when I played Breaking Point. Double tap to the body took down any zombie. It was fairly high power for a bit more noise than other pistols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punKs Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 I Would love to see the Robert Hammer packs available on epoch, been trying to figure out how to get them on the server since i started it, basically it seems impossible to do unless you guys add it to the epoch mod or if i make my own mod on your mod, because i bet no one will play on the server if they have to install stuff manually besides what comes from commander. RH MK18 Pack RH M4/M16 RH HK 416 Pack RH M14 Pack RH pistol pack Also if possible it would be really cool with even more clothes options, dont get me wrong, i love the mod as it is, would just be awesome but not needed with more options! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFDP Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I want the RH m14 pack so bad. I want to use the socom ii. I'm saving up for one in rl. That's my favorite line of weapons by Springfield Armory. From the standard m14 walnut stock to the synthetic stock socom ii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armifer Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 It should be fairly easy for a server owner/admin to add in any weapon packs. But if you can provide a link we can look into the ones you've requested. This would also require client side download of their content to be able to see and hear the guns. If they do it securely where you must have the addon to connect, then they cant get random new players to join who do not know how to add the addon. If they allow any addon and only provide signed keys, anyone can connect but it opens up the door to major exploiting with false keys allowing players to put in almost any addon they want and connect to a server (bight solid hot pink player skins, translucent trees, see through buildings, or their own addon "hacks" etc). Not that epoch needs tons of OP military grade stuff, but some simple stuff would be amazing. For starters, do what dayz 1.8+ did with pistol and melee damage. It returned pistol damage to pre 1.62 levels (4500 for .45 acp, and 1389 for 9mm) and upgraded melee damage for different weapons to 2x to 3x its current damage. Find a nice pistol pack to add to Epoch, thats a serious lack of options when there is always the "best" option to only go with. I for one would love to see a sawn off double barrel shotty , or a small melee knife or tire iron that can go into the pistol slot, or even a tertiary slot like dayz 1.8+ has. My vote is for weapons with attachments, and choose civilian type weaponry over super crazy high grade military stuff. Mercules 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a good thing, but if the current M14/DMR with no recoil stay, the 7.62mm RH weapons are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punKs Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 This would also require client side download of their content to be able to see and hear the guns. It wont require client side download, that is what we are talking about here, trying to get them to add them directly to epoch so that we dont need client side downloads to add more weapons. Preferably just add them to the database so admins can choose themself if they want to use or not. I will not have these stuff drop in normal places on my server, i will make them rare drops in hard AI missions only, but thats up to everyone to do as they wish :) Important note here too, there is no need to "vote" against this since you do not need to have them enabled on your server if you dont want too.

DomaN8 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I would love to be able to customize weapons in game. I think rather than add 100 weapons to the game, add 10 that can be customized to 1000's of combinations. There are weapon packs out that allow this: http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=12077&highlight=ASC+CUSTOM+WEAPONS or http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17943 . The only modification I think i would like is to have to either of these packs is to have a suppressed rifle be able to shoot standard ammo, just make it quieter than standard. But also they can shoot sd ammo that is very quiet, but at reduced performance. The one weapon that i have not seen anywhere, that i would love is a suppressed 1911.

Sequisha Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Question for Axle, will any if these weapon packs be added in the next Epoch patch? If we received permission and license from the Author, yes. If not, No. Numerous mods are using that team's weapon packs without permission for redistribution and it doesn't necessarily make it OK to follow suit. Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than to incorporate the M-21 and other m-14 variants and just delete the non-recoil version entirely...among numerous other wonderful weapons in that pack. Alas, I don't think anyone has received official contact from the author :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanstrings Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Yea we've struggled to add content with .st. I thought building them into the mod would just make things a bit easier for server owners and add to the appeal of the mod. You can add pbo content very easily on .ST. Send us the keys you want to use in an email ticket, then once we confirm that the key is installed on your node, copy the pbo and bisign files to the @bliss/addons folder in FTP and add the pbo to the allowed load list in your mission file.
