DayZ Standalone's open source

[Yuval 221]

This title might be misleading... I want to know if at some point in the future, after the game will move to BETA stage or official release - server files will be released...

 

I know that the common sense says "ofcourse! just like DayZ mod!" but let's face it. DayZ SA isn't just an ArmA 2 mod. It's a game with a single intention - surviving the zombie apocalypse.

 

Does that mean DayZ will stay in it's current state, where ALL servers are official and unaccessable for edit OR dayz will be editable and turn to something like ArmA where people can model, script and map things. Modfolders, addons... will it ever exist in DayZ?

 

Just incase the answer is yes, and I wish to get an official statement from rocket or any dev - my main question is:

 

Will anything change? Is there a new scripting language (since dayz will be moved to the Enfusion engine, though this engine is based partially on RV)?

 

I am on a very hard time right now. I wish to make an addon, a map, a dayz mod. I am stuck with 2 projects - an ArmA 2: DayZ mod and an ArmA 3 mod. I need to choose between one of them and finish it but maybe it's worth to wait for a while and do the 'real' thing in DayZ SA? 

 

I really hope rocket will notice this thread and give me an answer. In the meanwhile everyone else can just tell their opinions and what so ever!

 

tl;dr

 

will dayz sa have it's server files released in the future? will it have the same scripting language? will we be able to create our own "dayz sa mods" for dayz sa?

that is some estonishing information kich!!!

 

so as for the other questions, DayZ SA moves to a new engine. Does it mean scripting language will change? Models, Textures and maps that are built to work on RV engine will not work on Infusion engine anymore?
