A small follow-up: I have since been pointed to Sandbox by Sumrak, which I was not aware of when submitting this suggestion:

Could you consider including this existing terrain, or an officially supported version of it, in DayZ Tools(https://github.com/BohemiaInteractive/DayZ-Misc)?

Together with a minimal test mission and short launch instructions, it could provide a convenient starting point for mod development. A documented setup with a predictable player spawn and automatic economy spawning disabled would be particularly useful, including instructions for local/offline testing through DayZDiag.

The proposal could build on this existing terrain. The main benefit would be making the testing environment easy to discover, ready to launch, and maintained alongside the modding tools.

Found my old ticket 🫠

Feb 24 2020

Genuine question: where do the tunnels lead if you keep walking? I haven't been able to find any reliable info on it. Do they lead to other rope ladders or cool loot?

I’ve only been to one so far—there might be several on the map, since the one I found was quite short.

It had these kinds of entry and exit points...

For now, I’m trying to avoid looking up any information, so I can discover these map secrets on my own.

First part about #DZG-1366

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

To add some perspective on why the upvote/downvote system is such a major improvement: on the old tracker, users had no clean way to show that an issue affected them too, other than leaving repetitive "+1" comments or subscribing to the ticket.

This often cluttered the comment section with zero-value noise and made real discussion harder to follow.

The current voting system solves this completely. It gives the community a quick, zero-clutter way to signal issue priority and visibility to developers, while keeping the comment section focused strictly on constructive details, logs, and workarounds.

Additional Note / Impact on Community:

Due to the lack of filtering against spoofed servers in the official launcher, a large portion of the active player base is forced to rely on third-party launchers (such as DZSA Launcher) as their primary server browser.

Improving server verification in the official launcher would help bring players back to the native ecosystem and eliminate the reliance on external tools.

Same for Load order / launch params

Are you referring to this issue?

Or are you unsure what these fields are for?

#DZG-1265 - example

It’s mostly the same few people doing this.
You could try restricting this functionality for them.

And you can use different colours

1. MessageStatus

2. MessageAction

3. MessageFriendly

4. MessageImportant

If you need only welcome message you can use that workaround

Edit init.c

Add code below to class CustomMission

        override void InvokeOnConnect(PlayerBase player, PlayerIdentity identity)
        {
                super.InvokeOnConnect(player, identity);
                GetGame().GetCallQueue(CALL_CATEGORY_SYSTEM).CallLater(SendWelcome, 5000, false, player);
        }

        void SendWelcome(PlayerBase player)
        {
                if (player && player.IsAlive() && player.GetIdentity())
                {
                        string name = player.GetIdentity().GetName();
                        player.MessageFriendly("Welcome to the server, " + name + "!");
                }
        }
