Hello Survivors!
Each Status Report, I've been collecting some of the community created content that you sent me or that I came across on the internet. From now on, with BETA/1.0 releases and modding support coming up later this year, we'd like to get back to the idea of having Community Spotlight articles published separately (believe it or not, that's how it's been way back!), trying to really put your content into the spotlight and not have it buried at the end of a Status Report (don't worry, we'll still link this article in the Status Report!).
For the first edition of this renewed Community Spotlight, I'll most likely stick to the classic format, but try to evolve it over time, making it more interesting to follow!
Let's start and see the awesome things you've made over the past couple of weeks!
I hope you have noticed we have released the
DayZ server files. What does it mean? You can now run your own server on your own hardware and you can configure it how you like it the most. And, of course, you can try some modding! As we said in the forum post, we are not officially supporting modding yet because we don't have all the tools ready, but it doesn't mean you are not allowed to start modding. Actually, exactly the opposite is true! We are looking forward to seeing your work!
In fact, there are already some very nice modding projects!Let's open up with trains. Players are crazy about them for years and Arkensor is working on a modification which should bring them to life. He recently shared his first teaser with the community. And it will be HUGE! All aboard the HYPE TRAIN! CHOO CHOO!

It is a map based on the real location in Czech Republic and it is 420 km2 large. Barradien is made by small group of loyal members of the DayZ community from the Czech Republic with a little help from our map designer Sumrak. We are proud of you guys!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiyVMYD9o1cIf you are going to check the server list, you can already find some changes. One of the new things are the 100+ slot servers. And some of them are full almost every day and run pretty nice as far as I know. Another change are spawns with gear on specific locations. These servers are for PvP players mostly, because it is something like King of the Hill and it is not easy to survive on these servers. It is really nice to see how the community is playing DayZ in the way every individual player likes it the most.
What are you doing on Saturday, 29th of September, at 9PM AST (1AM UTC)? If you are free, Boydy prepared an
event with the https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?url=http://pipsi.net/ server called Manhuntwith nice prizes. You can find more information in the video below:

I want to show you some nice edits by Reddit user
EskimoArctic. What do you think guys, aren't they nice?
Another talented editor is called
Greenfist. Look at these awesome screenshots he made. Really cool.
And one more screenshot!
Nilwickshared his screenshot that looks like a renaissance painting. And yes, it looks really like one. You should share it to
r/accidentalrenaissancereddit!
Someone is really hyped for New York Comic Con!
WhiteDeathDayZsent me a picture of the cosplay he wants to wear to the event and I like it! I am glad we are going to have a true Survivor there! Don't forget to share more pictures from the convention with us!
Did you know there is a community DayZ podcast? It is called
Compassand it is made by Uncuepa and his guests. If you are a podcast fan this is something you would like to hear!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TE7w5p0C6DoSepticFalcon, our loyal supporter made a video how the Public Address System works. If you didn't know about it just check out his video. It is really fun with a PA system, you should try it!

Let's end with our riddle. Only one person guessed the latest location correctly. It was a player named
Bakro. Applause! The place is near Kozlovka at the road to Novoselky. Not Msta, guys.
Let''s try again with another riddle prepared by Sumrak. Where is this place located? Send your answer to our
Twitter accountwith the
#DayZriddleTimehashtag.
Have a nice two weeks and see you in Chernarus!
