Actually, I believe the OP is talking about previous DaiyZ maps since he/she specifically states maps they found on Mediafire.

The main point, however, is it is getting harder to make SP versions of different DayZ maps not just because they sometimes have custom buildings and functions... But because the latest version of the game is different from previous versions. Rocket is finally optimizing (rewriting) portions of the code and fixing bugs that helped make SP what it is today, ironically.

For example, one of the features SP players like from 38b was the ability to heal yourself with a blood bag. Well, this was a glitch that was never supposed to be there, obviously and was fixed in subsequent DayZ releases. It can be re-enabled, but it can also have negative effects on other functions as well since it is not something the game is supposed to do at this stage.

As far as making an SP version of a custom ArmA 2 map...

The basic task of converting a MP map to SP is not hard to do, relatively speaking... But making a quality release (Zed Hunter and Unknown's coding prowess) is what takes the most time & effort.
