Frequently Asked Questions.
There's so many, I don't know where to begin, and I probably won't get them all. I'll try to split this up in categories to make it easier to locate things, but you can always use Ctrl+F and type in a keyword for your question, and hopefully the answer shall appear! If anybody has anything to add, comment, and I'll add it to the main post with credits, of course. I'll try to keep this up-to-date with new menus and things like that.

First of all, if you don't already have it, get winrar. Anyways~

The Basics
How do I hack?(Part 1: Scripts, Menus, Bypass)
hax plox!?

Alright, well, there's 2 main ways you can go about hacking DayZ.
The first route to hacking is using scripts and having a menu to activate the scripts from AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVING A BYPASS WHICH WILL COST YOU MONEY UNLESS YOU GET A CHEAT ENGINE AND PLAY ON NO BATTLEEYE SERVERS WHICH WOULD BE STUPID TO DO BECAUSE EVERYBODY ELSE WILL BE A HACKER TOO but more power to you I guess. Cheat Engine is free, not linking it because it doesn't seem to be that popular, go find it yourself. Anyways, Let's discuss menus and scripts first.
[Quick Disclaimer[#1]: I in no way condone or condemn leeching. I am only using the resources that have been approved and that have passed the rules on this forum.]

You can find plenty of free scripts and menus (they come together{except for one link that I posted}) on the forum:
Here is the wuat menu and the thread dedicated to it.

Here is a leeched (and "outdated" version of Rustler's menu. It's flashy. Use if you like flashy shit. And nukes. And if you can handle an FPS drain. And can find a server that won't bone you. [If you really want Rustler's menu, go buy his updated version that probably has an exponentially better RemoteExecutor] Also, here's a link to help you set it up.

Here is xTwisteDx's menu.

And here is M0nky's menu and the thread dedicated to it.

Here is a large script pack, apparently 400+ scripts [some{but 400!} are detected though]

Also, you can find a couple of menu on the sites where you will find your bypass, but I'm not linking that shit. Silent's menu is the one and only one I will tell you.

After you have a menu and your scripts, you'll need a bypass, but which one? Well, you can get Aim Junkies for $11 even though it's pretty much the equivalent of VirtualAdvantage which will cost you $8. These are the two big ones. AJ apparently has a couple of more features..as in, on its site, you can find a menu with some scripts that the menu you get from VA doesn't have. But guess what? I just fuggin' linked you to 4 menus and countless scripts! But the choice is yours, just google either name, register, and purchase the bypass. I'll tell you which one I use for a fee of $10. Download your bypass, extract it to a folder and put somewhere like on your desktop. Now, you should've read the respective thread that you got your menu from, but just in case you didn't, here's the rundown. Take the folder that holds your scripts(and anything else that is mentioned in the thread{may not apply}), put it into your Arma2 Operation Arrowhead directory.
Which will be this: (using C:\ because assuming your installed steam and Arma 2OA on your main drive) C:\ Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead. You will have something else behinds (x86) if you do not have a 64 bit OS.
Alright, after you pasted your script folder in your A2OA directory, make or paste a file called "DayZmenu" (save as .ini file) in the same folder your bypass is in. You will edit what is in it according to what menu you are using. Look at the respective thread for more info.

So you have scripts in the right directory, you have an undetected bypass, you have the correct editing in the DayZmenu.ini, let's hack. Start up your bypass(run as administrator), Find a server to play on DayZ, your bypass will auto-inject, and when you get in game, press inject. Tada, Scripts injected. Press tab to bring up your menu. Getting kicked, scripts not loading/not injecting? Ctrl F key words for it.

I will discuss adding scripts to your menu later on. (Search add custom scripts..or scroll down for half a second.)

How do I hack?(Part 2: Browser plugins/Survival Hacks)
Doesn't require money, simple to use. Can use firefox or Google chrome. Using internet explorer will get you banned from every game ever, the internet, and the KGB will be momentarily resurrected to kidnap you. So. You know, there's that.
Anyways, yes, I'm of course talking about sd333221's famous "Survival Hack". Currently detected, will keep updated.
This doesn't require much explanation. Download it. Extract it to a folder on your desktop, run Firefox as admin, run plug-in container as admin, join a server! Alt+Tab to put in commands. Entering too many commands too fast on some servers might cause a kick or a crash, so..yeah.

Advanced(ish) Hacking
How do I add custom scripts to ____ menu? Or other scripts from other menus to ____?
Well, first, you need to place that script into your script directory in your Arma2OA folder.
Then you will need to edit a certain file (Notepad++ helps) depending on which menu you are using.
If you are using Silent's menu or a variation(ikillindreams's edited menu for example) of it, you will need to locate the file "ajmenu.sqf". Should be in Arma2OA\Scripts
Wuat's menu: vet@cmd.sqf --> Arma2OA\wuat
Rustler's menu: mainmenu.sqf --> Arma2OA\scr\menu\menulist
Monky's menu: mainmenu.sqf --> Arma2OA\scr\menu\menulist

I'll use the Silent's menu code as an example.
So, let's say you want to add a minigun script to your menu. You want this to be in the "Main" portion of your menu.
In the ajmenu file, you will see something similar to this:



The first line is not a real script, it's just a heading for your menu, hence the "empty.sqf".
Basically what you're going to do is copy one of the lines.

And change it to our minigun file and change the name to recognize it as our minigun script.


Now, the trick here is to have the minigun script in the correct directory. Find where the files are in that section, and post the file there, or at least be sure to edit the directory. Let's say I have a "Player" directory with more scripts and I want to put my minigun script there. The code will look like:


Leave the middle and right 0s alone, change the left digit to a 1 if the hack is toggable, if it is not, make it a 0.

How do I create my own scripts?
Here is a thread that can get you started on making your own scripts and the like.

Errors and Malfunctions.
HELP! Something is wrong!
Before you say anything elseeeee, here are a couple of things you need to make sure you are doing, or things you can try.
1. ARE YOU RUNNING YOUR PROGRAMS AS ADMINISTRATOR?
2. Disable UAC.
Go into control panel-->User Accounts and Family Safety-->User Accounts-->Change User Account Control settings-->turn that shit off.

3. Disable DEP
Run CMD as administrator. Type: bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff
Press enter and restart.

4. Disable anti-viruses and firewalls.
5. Are your video card drivers up to date?
6. Get Microsoft .NET Framework 4 and Microsoft Visual C++ Pack 1.

Help! Public Variable Restriction when trying to activate scripts!
Your RemoteExecutor is crappy, your scripts are detected, or that server has some decent antihax.

Help! Corrupted Memory #3 (or other number)
Common problem when using Survival Hacks. You can try a different server, or if it keeps happening, see if a specific hack is triggering it. Are you entering commands too fast?

Help! BattleEye Hack #4
Currently being looked into by Sd

Help! SetDamage Resitrction!
Your kill player script doesn't work. Either your RE isn't sufficient or your script isn't adequate.

Help! Error #1
"Teleporting Error; Otherwise known as using _setPos in your scripts."

Ban and CD Key related.
Where do people get all these keys to sell?
Short answer, they use key stealers.

How do I avoid Key Stealers?
DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT download anything from outside the forums (except for the bypasses ON THEIR SITE, NO WHERE ELSE. DO NOT BUY INTO THE YOUTUBE SHIT. If you do, you deserve what happens.)

Is there a way to "protect" my key?
This might be of interest to you.

Help! I got banned! What do I do?
Credits to chickeninabiskit and darkyhax.

Help! My CD key was stolen!
Quick Robin!
If that link is not fruitful, refer to previous post.

How can I avoid not being banned?
Don't be super duper obvious with your hacks. Like spawning in on the coast and 5 seconds later have an AS50, ghillie suit, all gear, m9SD, coyote backpack. Don't spawn in illegal weapons, items, vehicles, etc. Just be cautious when admins are on.

What's legal, item-wise in DayZ?
This shit.


Other/Misc.
Help! How do I get better FPS!?
Higher FPS?
Also, obviously lower your settings, get a better computer(or parts) if this doesn't work.

Does ____ work on multiplayer? Wasteland?
Probably.
But this thread might interest you, Wastelanders.

Done for the moment; post questions that you think need to be on here, or just add to it on your own, blah blah blah.
