Hello all!
I just started an account as I am very passionate about this topic. I have played Arma 2 Dayz for years, probably as many of you have! I am pretty much an Arma Expert. Not coding wise, but definitely gameplay wise. Anyways, I have a proposal? I guess that is what you would call it. I played the Vanilla Dayz mod, and pretty much every other one under the sun. Though, my favorite was Epoch Panthera. I loved it, couldn't get enough. Seems that most players do not like Panthera though. I'm sad to watch it fade off as a map, because it is a great one, but its okay. Back on topic. I really loved 2 scripts implemented in Epoch Build System. And that was The Snap Build Pro, and the Vector Build. These were seriously amazing! Now, Exile I love you, you guys have definitely done a much better job than Arma 3 Epoch haha. But I think I can speak for a majority of Exile Base Builders when I say that we would Like to add more functionality to the existing base system. I love that you guys kept it without physics. But I think this could really boost up the community of Exile by a ton if there were equivalents of those. And I already know that there is a snap system in place, and I am quite the base Builder. But I'm pretty sure we can all say it needs a little work. But the Vector Build! NOTE: for those of you who do not know, Vector build lets you manipulate and object you are placing down I.E Wall and take literally exacter angles, tilt it forward, tilt backward, sideways, by exact measurements! if you want 18 degrees forward, and 20 degrees to the right you can! It was seriously an amazing script added to Arma 2. Now I am pretty good at Java coding, though do not know too much about Arma code whatsoever. But to finish this off, basically I would like to say that I think the community of Exile as a whole would love to see a ton more construct able structures, I loved those damn arma 2 metal floors, and cinder block walls. But also, More functionality with base building. It is definitely harder to build amazing little sniper crevices in Exile(Not necessarily a bad thing) but I think it would be super fun to implement more functionality for base building. If I had to order it with priority I would say:
1. Vector Build/More In Depth Object Placing System
2. Add more construct able objects.
3. Tweaking Existing Snap System
Anyways those are just a humble mans opinions on how to really take this already amazing mod to a whole other level, I know the best times I had in Arma 2 Dayz Epoch was killing those pesky base snipers and also sniping people out of my pesky little base! Love the Mod, Keep up the great work!
