The server that hosts our website, Mumble, and soon DayZ server is getting some upgrades in preparation for DayZ BETA and hopefully soon, server files getting released for private hosting of DayZ servers.
Edit: Here is our current setup now:
The HERO Map has been updated for 0.60.
For now, the only option we have available is the satellite map instead of the topographical map due to my inability to extract the topographical map.
I know the satellite map is a little difficult to see in some areas, it is just a limitation we will have to live with until a topographical map can be extracted. I am able to provide very fine detail with the topographical map.
Because OREL is so hard to find this patch, the uniform has been split into two categories. Class A and Class B.
Read more about the HERO Uniform in the Field Manual.
I have added 2 new sections to the field manual to address loot within our philosophy and ideals. Most of this we have done verbally up to this point so it shouldn’t be too new to anyone, but as we grow, it will be nice to have it on paper for reference.
HERO Base and Community Property
New Mission Type: Base Raiding
Our community has grown enough that we can probably sustain a server again!
Ideally, as we grow large enough, we will have multiple servers and maybe even our own private hive. However, being that we need to be able to assist the general public, our first returning server will be a 3rd Person Public server.
This will allow us to host our base and be prepared to handle any requests for help and run missions on the most populated part of DayZ, 3rd Person.
Once we have 3 months of reserve funds in our pool, I will start up the server again with Vilayer. You can see how much we have in our fundraising pool on the right hand side of the web page, also you can click on the donation link to add to our funds.
Field Manual now has the following highlighted changes:
Our custom map has been moved to the main menu, Map link. You must be logged in and have permission to view the map, otherwise you will only see the iZurvive map.
Instead of having a single challenge for each squad position under Field Manual -> Squad Organization, I will add multiple challenges as I think of them, up to 3 challenges per position.
Only 1 challenge must be completed to qualify for a squad position, the new challenges offer the ability to earn the position while playing with a squad and not necessarily solo.
Welcome all of our new members! Our membership drive is going strong and we have lots of great folks who have joined our ranks this past month.
Right now our new folks are unranked GOOD*. Once zombies are back in the game, I will be looking at setting up some training missions to help some of them transition into squad positions by completing challenges. I also will be looking into inducting and training new HEROs soon.
Going forward, we will be working toward a distribution of about 5 GOOD* for every 1 HERO* on our roster. With our previously set goal of 25 HEROs, this means approximately 125 GOODs will be in our ranks for a total maximum population of 150 active members planned.
Our base location has moved and we now are back in business with a full sized operating base. We have also taken several measures to prevent our base from being discovered and if discovered from being completely stolen. At the worst case scenario, only some stuff will be stolen upon discovery, not all.
Please do not post the base location or strategy on our website, use Mumble or direct Steam messaging to communicate the base location to other members on our roster, thanks! There are folks out there with nothing better to do than search the internet for base locations and then server hop to find them.
New to the website is the ability for users to register using their Steam account. Steam does not give our website any information about your account that is not publicly available, it only sets up a login token so that our website can authenticate you with Steam if you want. This means if you forget your HERO website password you can still login with Steam.
If you are a current member that wishes to link you steam account, log out then click on “Connect with: Steam” in the login area. You will be directed to Steam login then back to the website where you can link the accounts.
I have outlined recommended behavior and touched up on some areas under the Field Manual section: Survivor Engagement.
This should make it very clear about our rules of engagement and how we treat the general public. Please let me know if anything needs to be emphasized or reworded.
MINIDAYZ is a free browser based game from Bohemia Interactive. It is a top-down 2D reimagining of DayZ. The basics include zombies, melee and weapons, and surviving the environment.
Since the server files were available, I have set us up a server for MINIDAYZ. Enjoy!
