Yeah, I fixed that soon after posting.
rocket's failure to communicate once again scuppers the audience. His notes on 1.7.1 didn't go beyond, and I quote:

This update will REQUIRE the beta patch, so it is worth installing this now and getting used to it. It's pretty easy.
No link, no indication as to how, nothing, just "It's pretty easy." Christ, the guy can be a right condescending prick at times.
Of course, I get it back up and running only to find they've "Fixed" the gamma/brightness/post-processing/HDR tweak that actually made playing at night viable. Now all scenery is once again a solid black silhouette.
Found a daytime server only to be confronted with zombies buried up to their waists.
Jeeeeeesus.

At least you get a flashlight now, the arma2 beta is the cause of the increased darkness apparently.

Not my guy. A box of painkillers, a bandage and that's it.

It's in your backpack. If you are playing on a server when the moon is out - max bight/gamma and turn off shadows, it's somewhat playable at that point.

There is a hilarious new bug with 1.7.1.1, food/drink doesn't spawn anymore (except occasionally on zombie corpses). At the moment the only way to survive with a new char is to find a gun, matchbook, knife, axe, and canteen so you can hunt animals. And you have to do it all before you run out of your initial dose of food/drink. :-)

Yup, I just died of dehydration and hunger because of that bug. Don't think I'll be playing this until that's fixed, or maybe it's by design? If so, fuck that for a game of soldiers.

I'd better find me a goat then :) And not die leaving the Stary sobor military camp where i'm currently located... :P

I think Rocket's doing a great job on the updates while keeping balance between alpha testing and keeping the mod playable. His general attitude and the fact that community input is a factor for him has given me a lot of respect for him. I think the mod will only get better even if it takes time, which is understandable considering it's just a mod that's already trying to be more than a mod. :)

Oooooo, melee :o

Ooooh....we should definitively reform the team, no, Malf?
