DayZ Mod is Getting an All New User Interface (UI)

The creators of the DayZ mod (as opposed to DayZ, the standalone game) continue to update the mod for Arma II even as development progresses with the standalone title.

A few days ago, the mod's developers issued a new changelog of all the additions that will be going into the game in the upcoming 1.7.8 version. The mod currently sits at version 1.7.7.

Among the many features coming to the mod is an entirely new UI, which partly resembles a notebook. You can see it in action in the screenshot below:

Be sure to read about the rest of the changes they have planned at the posted changelog here. Here's a snippet:

Changes:
* [FIXED] – Zed direction issue when under chase condition. (should stop them keep turning)
* [FIXED] – Fixed an issue where you'd get stuck after the tackle animation.
* [FIXED] – Infection divide by zero error.
* [FIXED] – Updated all zed movement systems to fall in line with the re-added LOS and Angle of attack checks. (This should improve zeds reaction times & make sure target is in hitting range)
* [FIXED] – Redone the FSM Agent brain. This will allow the more advanced SQF attack system to work smoother.
* [FIXED] – Balanced Zed damage Normal returned to .7 Viral kept at 50% higher rate. (Both types can still knock players concussions)
* [FIXED] – Viral's base damage updated to be normal's highest damage output.
* [FIXED] – Small updated to overall damage output.
* [FIXED] – Major duplication fix.
