Ideas Implemented

[sfscriv]

There are number of innovative ideas presented by this author within this github sfscriv/DayZ-Improvements listing. Whether by coincidence or by planting the seed for extension developers or the actual DayZ Developers, a number of these ideas have been implemented in DayZ mod extensions, in the DayZ mod, and in the DayZ Standalone. This site was submitted to the DayZ Development team and acknowledged by R4Z0R49 (Carl Shakleton). Here are features that have been implemented:

Standalone:

• Inventory: ... Appearance of the player's in-game character ... Hat and sunglasses as an in-game accessory ... Attachments for weapons ... In-hand transfer slot ... Vest as a separate piece of equipment to carry loot ... Reassignment of default keys with a specific key to interact with the environment ... Flow from Vicinity to In-Hand to Storage container
• Melee weapon as a separate weapon category rather than sharing the slot with the primary weapon
• Fireplace with mantle and cast iron stoves placed in in-game structures
• Text term feed describing in-game conditions
• Distinctive Head Gear as a separate inventory slot
• Additional Melee Weapons: ... bayonet ... baseball bat ... knife
• Propane stove
• Propane fuel canister

Mod:

• Fishing and fishing pole

Extensions:

• Padlock to lock door
• Sling shot
• Machete
• Syphon

Add-on:

• Mission Transmissions - exists as a by server only addition and is presented to all the players on the server with an area marked on the map
