Template talk:Weapon Box

Version introduction
I wonder if it would be a good idea to add a version to items, so users will know when an item was introduced to DayZ. Mromson (talk) 21:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)

Good question. I'll talk with the other admins. Smokie (talk) 22:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * In general in the wiki i try to avoid talking about patch this and that but in the above i can see a reason to add the info. - sEi (Talk) 01:56, 11 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I agree, it also could (/should) be used to address removed items. However this might give problems with the data extension... - Grezvany13 (talk) 13:53, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Weapon Damage
I think we should add a box for the weapon damage in blood. You can use day zdb.com/database/weapons to find the raw damage of weapons and the calculation is: (raw damage^2)x55.55=damage in blood This can help to know how many shots to kill a zombie, zombies have ~4400 blood, and shots to kill a player assuming they are full health, 12000 blood.


 * Please note that the base damage is a value given by the ammo and NOT the weapon.
 * Since day zdb.com uses a custom scripted website, it's relatively easy to make those calculation on the fly. At dayzwiki.com we're bound to certain limits which means is almost impossible.
 * We can however calculate everything manually (unless we can use mathmatical stuff), although I prefer to use our own data instead of using the data by dday zdb.com. So we might need to extract everything ourselfs from the source code ;) - Grezvany13 (talk) 22:39, 25 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Why do we even have shots to head category? Its ALWAYS 1. We should change it to shots to kill zombie and shots to kill players Nuke (talk) 8:55pm (GMT)Friday August 2012

Not everyone knows that it's always 1 I guess? Also, I think zombies and players have the same hp. - Smokie (talk) 05:56, 4 August 2012 (UTC)


 * They defiantly do not have the same hp. Zombies ~4400 blood, players 12000 blood -Nuke (talk) 2:04am Sunday August 05 2012 (GMT)

Template Merge
what is your opinion on merging the templates of the mod with the one of SA or rather replacing the mod with the SA templates? the mod pages need an urgent cleanup as i already mentioned recently and we're probably removing the #set function from the mod pages. in addition the wiki would have a more cohesive design.--TheBlackDracula (talk)

any opinions?--TheBlackDracula (talk)
