The reason DayZ was popular was because it was a mod for many years before it became standalone. The reason Minecraft was popular was because it was the first of its kind, and was free until it left beta. Both weren't really Early Access.

Ok, most of those edits helped a lot... I would've had a longer post initially, but I had places to see and people to do... (...wait... That ain't quite right...) First, once I knew what you meant considering the two clothing levels, it makes a lot more sense about your damage resistances. However, there are many different densities of denim... One is the standard denim jeans style denim, (a medium density) another is designer-style soft denim, (very light, on par with thick t-shirt material for protection) and yet another is heavy denim. (very dense, probably the material you're talking about, can significantly reduce damage by a large variety of weapons) It's also good to know that it's actually a duster instead of a trench coat. (makes a HUGE difference in the resistance it has on projectiles) You might want to consider the content in this video when looking at the damage values you're going to use in your mod... https://youtu.be/tku8YI68-JA?t=43s Also, some resources that you should look at for the light armor and penetration in general... http://www.policemag.com/channel/patrol/articles/2009/07/30-things-you-need-to-know-about-body-armor.aspx http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?p=391313 http://www.usacarry.com/forums/general-firearm-discussion/27823-45-vs-body-armor.html https://dl.boxcloud.com/bc/4/346f24a1db3577e04e03ee5d3b9ebfac/S_JNDBp-f6owoVYyi6vcPTTh-p21giX_iaR1eeG9nnYLRWXd79zuQ8gVCymgti48oxwHqt1_5F2tlkZcgTF-nha-jvUa0hilDCR66UMWWlY1wx9ZOpbCos4R_5TRblSKqUfSBrIhDd05xpYeeoyg_pqOOqRt2Ch7i9o4DLJNt39bf4nRV856upudfgwcLtqtWeGAwOdEkOk_F4xcTs2WCaIA5yS_RQn4MHbsBaE44nHNkSH9n4ix2hQeLpowg3tb4_3C9jvJgjBGRzJ6MhmZixhi8cplgO-UX1h1qSVYmEZLefdOgJzL76tiyE9g44eJTEZVQhtGgosUD2Ne33W1f4j5VujGcpSh3jA9argPwXW8bFCM_Sok3bqdR4Iz2VxJl20PzF_gXV--oQPsVMdLHlhtvDSCLugzdyMbKbXEnqkW5D3JMsyO_zBBM5sOFnThp6xjVQNgv-ri1HV2tuRcxncFEjeWVlJIBsSojTI4DIRvzkm9BxA9Pk3kRqXGdlmGfsfFvBwKajn3jhdQsBACkugpE5tmrCxxd0U_9r3P2gKtefLrbU2oRlzQBddekg_hrKn6OGPNRD-moxCecG6eLdWhpzTCdYbMdpkJu0fYyE9fC2-jR4SvrRMD4jGvajTFshJHgu6G5jBlH2-4apB5o-g3O3TvXdz6E7vRBix44cGHb7KHiNtmYi2BN2O68cz2zV31dKGvJ6m0jslv5FGR7ELdOEY9hLhpl1umVaLme5hDRM28JGbCsyDq27ielMxO-gLdPu8iEEkaZUUjZEGd3aHaQGDXnDMAsw08fJ-LyvZiK7_D3Y22lKAI4IglLcoStQl58Vgjh3Gbld9NJQ-ZcxcTu4tZsS3SRlbtaNHq7P4NWelihIO8n7j5DIeSi9_rpy7demhlXBvjkjhayQsK2THDUwJRGw-62g5LH_yEXN7MfqeLAaH-mOv4t7o82SKCe6tFkVMBVgk5fD5QVTTFWKus79DIyuT7f_gNN0J4cyGapuShSdS7C2PjFrOeioPMF7UGbfmck3F1okmcEa0XE6W9yhRZbqcN-hIRFEyCL6eBKLsMTeyM9fbtSmI7jVLHugvfr-Gm9E5guheohIDWSqmzyHxtxDJnZgwpNZQvKQeT_XLesYiu3eMUH2sAncAq3E3RKW_eyxhSBsvbCWYlplI1Vkl3A546Or9owjJro9jzq5rwkcKANzxHd-mJ_RiuFapE38ghyFUOZwxjJr3WIjIrxnhGBSpWbHLxCfbcyhaAceGS376gSMPGUCHSTgbSIe3wxlXnmeU./ Have to go to bed now, or I'd link more... I'll probly post again later.

It's been on my wishlist since October, but the reason it isn't well known is because it is still only Early Access... That means it hasn't been fully released yet. If it WASN'T obscure prior to release, then I would be surprised.

Destroyed NYC. The Avengers.

Deciding which game I should play.

Sounds like you were dreaming of being a cat...

Aesthetically, they work pretty good... As for the HD models I was mentioning, I consider the CP armor in the Cinematic Mod to be quite good. (say what you want about the mod itself, but the CP/combine models were awesome)

Is a comedy that's directed by Mel Brooks. Young Frankenstein.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Not bad... Now you need to do more. Not even close. I used to know someone that said almost exactly that.

If nobody's going to say anything, then will someone shut him up?

It's remarkably easy to make a modded weapon system in Source; you just make additional weapons. You can actually have hundreds of different ones, all with the same name, and inventory slot in-game with no issue. What you'd have to do is have the character's weapons removed, and then added back when they purchase from the store. (the first weapon inserted in the slot takes precedence over any other weapons encountered for the slot) Just have a slot for each type of ammo or whatever, and you're good to go. They're good resources. Might want to look into getting HD versions of some of the models though, if possible. Might I suggest no more than 5% resist for buckshot and 10% for animal attacks? 20% is unrealistic in the extreme for buck resistance from light clothing, as 00 buck (what you supposedly normally see in games) can go through mild steel plate (up to 3/16") at 15 yds with killing force on the other side IRL. Side note, for shotguns, make sure whatever type of ammo you're choosing has the same number of pellets, penetration, and spread as the real stuff. (#000 buck usually has 6 pellets, #00 has 8, and #0 gets 9, and so on) I personally would like to see games use #4 buck for the ammo, as it uses .24" pellets, and there are 21 of them in each shot. (plus the performance is much closer to what you see portrayed in most games that show 6-8 pellet impacts per shot) Also, please include flechette/dart rounds for the shotguns if possible. (50% improved penetration, 30% reduced damage) Going back to RL performance of shotguns, I would suggest for anything that isn't designed to be armor be reduced in resistance to them. For heavy clothing 20% is a better range IMO. (same for pistols and SMGs) The fragments from grenades are usually small needle-like chunks of steel, flying at between 2x-5x the speed of sound... If you're within the blast radius, nothing but plate (which should protect completely, and receive little or no damage at all to the plate itself) is going to protect you by more than 10%. (I would suggest making that a standard across all the armors, and remove any fragment resistance from mere clothing) Unless that hat is made from half-thickness kevlar plate, it shouldn't resist anywhere near that much damage... I'd say 2% is more accurate until you're using a helmet. (also, armor points from the hat, but not anything else?) See previous about buckshot and fragmentary weapon recommendations. (this includes the pipe-bombs) I would also suggest that unless it has plate, kevlar fabric armor (the norm for light armor) won't do anything to protect against an axe or hatchet IRL. (unless it's being swung very slowly) See previous about buckshot and fragmentary weapon recommendations. (this includes the pipe-bombs) Additional, unless there's plates, any form of soft armor is incapable of fully preventing all damage caused by pistols/SMGs. True, it could be a 95-99% reduction, but unless it's going against a .22 short, you're going to have some bruising or welts. For larger calibers, (.45 ACP, .50 AE, .45 long colt, etc.) broken bones and internal bleeding are not only possible, but likely. See previous about buckshot, fragmentary weapon, and pistol/SMG recommendations. (this includes the pipe-bombs) Your numbers for caliber resistances are way off, as a 7.62 will always hit harder than a 5.56... Even plate will only survive a few (3-4) direct hits from a standard 7.62 NATO, but can do a dozen or more from 5.56 NATO. It's more about the mass than it is the diameter when you're talking about armor penetration, and a 7.62 usually has 3x-4x the mass of a 5.56, and travels around the same velocity. ______________________________________________________________ What do you think?

Did someone say something?

Logitech headsets are very decent for consumer-grade products. I use their mice exclusively, with good reason. (got a G700, and it took a few dozen hits through a backpack from 20-50 lb steel wedges from welding class, and one direct hit from a red hot plate, all with no damage) I have, have had successful suicides, and even attempted it myself once... (couldn't find the ammo, or I would never have been a part of this forum) There's really nothing that can be done by anyone except those that are directly affected, except to let them know that you're there if they need someone. I think Seattleite knows we're always here for him... If not, he's blind. It's about the pending doom of the unnamed species that is about to go extinct... Of course it will affect nothing in everyday lives, but it's good to feel its passing in such a profound way.

Can you imagine if they all just came back one day and started acting like they never left? Yes, it would be epic, and we would fit right in. Don't tell them!!! lol OT: Eating, doing laundry, and watching Daredevil.

Has someone who can speak with an English accent. Robin Hood Men in Tights.

Dude WAY is so awesome... It's difficult to remember that he's in his 50's. He's in my parent's age group, and still entertaining the kids.

What headset brand/model? OT: Sore and slightly frustrated. Been on my feet all day working, and turns out I didn't actually have to. (my fault, but I forgot about 2 days of work a few weeks ago)

At least you're not having to deal with the return of all the MIA 2011 forumers. lol OT: Making pizza, catching up on forums, and possibly playing some games.

My parents started doing that this year... I think it's either age, or something in their drinks.

Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!

I went for the 419's, and they are holding up marvelously after 3 years... I even attached a mic to them to turn it into a headset. If you want quality, I recommend Sennheiser. I got and used my HD419's while I had long hair, and never once got my hair stuck in them. (they also have nice soft fuzzy earcups, so that's another bonus for comfort) Sennheiser also makes headsets, but they do cost a pretty penny, if you can find them anywhere except online. As long as he reads the thing, it doesn't matter. Honestly, I've met 'super sketchy' looking people who were harmless, and overall very nice Christians, so it's not like this is a rare occurrence. I will admit that some of the comments were obviously people who are prejudiced against any Christian religion, but allowing them to upset you is something you should try to avoid. (turn the other cheek, remember)

Generic Lemon-Lime soda, and a Tombstone 4-meat pizza with an additional 7 cheeses and additional Italian spices.

I just want to mention an interesting fact brought up by my mother about the Measles vaccines... The older ones never require a booster, but the newer ones do. Why would they move from permanent immunity to temporary? (all of my research only comes up with the modern MMR-II vaccine information)
