I've come across a couple of things lately that I'm currently playing which I thought others might be interested in. Both involve the Origins mod so read on if you are actually interested.
The first is a post on the Epoch forms by forum member ElDubya and you can find it
here.
ElDubya is/was one of the admins of this server and has decided to end this particular server and has very generously shared his hard work with the Dayz community and given out the server files. Information and a link to the download can be found in the link above.
You'll need his server files (under 8Mb), Dayz Origins 1.7.9.5, Dayz Overwatch 0.25 and the Epoch client files 1.0.5.1.
It is intended for Arma 2 1.63 Beta patch 125548 but will work with 103718 or 112555 (pre steam) but you'll need to edit the "mission.sqm" and delete references to "ca_communityconfigurationproject_e_editor_addedlargeweaponvariants" which is part of the 125548 patch. Not sure on the effect this has on gameplay - doesn't seem significant to me.
You''l need to configure Navicat (if that's what you use) a little differently (user will be "root" with password "password"), check the hive.ini for details.
I added the SargeAI to my server for some AI uncertainty as well as tow/lift. It's a truly excellent setup covering everything you could want and it would certainly suit players interested in the PVE side of Dayz.

The second mod is one created by MDark over at OpenDayz
here. This mod is far more closer to the original Origins experience than anything else. It has all the new zombie models and sounds including "Doctor Ivan" (he took 17 DMR headshots to kill btw....)
Major Pain has streamlined the install process - check out his GitHub page
here to download the needed server/client files (just grab the server files, it contains everything you need) and instructions for install. Again, you need to customize your MySQL setup slightly (as above).
I haven't played this too much other than just getting it working but it too has been an great experience.
