Community invitation and contributions, Building a Realistic and Customisation DayZ Game Mode Presets Database.

Standard game preset has rapid degradation of weapons, tools, and other essentials such as water, food, and health. Under the default game settings, a player is likely to perish within 2 hours or less, while guns, tools etc become unusable very quickly. This does not align with individual preferences/expectations, where tools and weapons typically last for generations rather than mere minutes.

To address this, I propose the introduction of preset game modes in DayZ that offer optional Real Life Dynamics. These game modes would cater to various play styles and preferences, including:

Real Life Dynamics Mode: Emphasises realistic survival elements, where tools and weapons have a much longer lifespan, mimicking real-world durability.

Beginner Mode: Provides an easier game-play experience for newcomers.

Arcade Mode (Standard): Retains the current default settings for those who prefer a faster-paced, less realistic survival experience.

Advanced modes below have: Objectives, Tasks, Challenges

PVP Team Modes: Focuses on player-versus-player team combat and base building.

Survival Modes: Includes activities such as Hunting, Fishing, Camping, and Hiking, offering a more immersive and varied survival experience.

SPMissions which build skills; Survivor's Trial, The Lone Hunter, Medic on a Mission, The Fisherman's Tale, Lost and Found (stash loot, orienteering, treasure hunt)

MPMissions: Rescue Operation, Supply Run, Base Defence, Escort Mission, Resource War.

To facilitate these modes, a simple interface might be developed to prepare the necessary XML/JSON/map files and place them into a launch folder. This would streamline the process of switching between game modes and customizing the gameplay experience without the need for extensive manual configuration.
