The current target day for the next hot fix is the 13th August (#Wednesday). The team intends to work on subjects as: melee combat, container contents, global voice manipulation, camera clipping issues, persistent containers and items as well. Hot fix version 0.48 and version 0.49 will probably release this August. The work on V.0.49 continues and includes targets as horticulture for instance. Over the next weeks the developers will be working with their game server provider partners: “…to begin the final steps required for the central hive, and their respective back ends to support renting private shards of the DayZ central hive, which will enable dedicated communities to create their own private DayZ worlds.” . Important to understand is what those private shards bring about, because there is a difference from “private hives” that we know from the Arma 2 mod. ► They can: • “Password protect the server • Operate a white list (using BEC) • Ban/Kick trouble makers • Define and enforce server gameplay rules (eg: DayZRP, PvE only, etc) ► They can not: • “Access or modify the base game configuration (amount of loot, amount of dynamic server events, #vehicles (when they are implemented), etc) • Violate the naming convention declared in the hosting rules (these will be updated to reflect the new private shard capabilities) • Have access to the database itself • Operate any 3rd party “Admin tools” aside from the approved BEC (BattlEye Extended Controls) • Access debug logs (currently these are unavailable for both user privacy, and performance) • Exceed current maximum player limits per instance (40, as of the time of the writing of this status report) More information as soon as this feature is going live. ► All Standup notes for the week of 04 August 2014: ┌ PROGRAMMING ├ Camera clipping/collision ├ Cleanup system ├ Persistent items ├ Persistent storage ├ Network optimizations └ Restricting access to chat when incapacitated ┌ ANIMATION ├ Raised rifle (aimed) movements ├ Restrained walking ├ Restrained running ├ Animations to support fishing system ├ Two handed throwing animations ├ Animations to support digging for worms └ Camera clipping ┌ AUDIO ├ Ambient SFX improvements ├ CR 527 Sounds ├ Weapon SFX level/volume balancing ├ Sound work to support new animals └ Sound work to support upcoming player animations ┌ ENVIRONMENT/ WORLD ├ Creation of Severograd ├ Food Stand placement across map ├ Creation of Vavilovo ├ Creation of Sinystok └ Continued development on villages across the Northern regions ┌ DESIGN ├ General bugfixing ├ Implementation and scripts for new clothing types ├ Configuration and implementation of new animals (pig) ├ Internal documentation of new assets ├ Feature team meetings on alternative food sources ├ Mechanics design ├ Configuration and scripting for improvised rabbit trap ├ Whiteboarding and design documentation on horticulture systems └ Continuing rearranging of loot tables and spawning mechanics - Read more at: dayz/blog/status-report-week-of-04-august-14
