[B41/B42] Hephas Stalker PDA

Description

Welcome to my another small mod!

I created this because I couldn’t find a properly working PDA on the Workshop — and because I wanted something meaningful to complement my Stalker Occupation mod.

While the mod is still freshly "cooked," I plan to refine it further and add more complex features over time, especially if it gains some popularity.

So stay tuned, rate it and spread the word to help support future updates!

The PDA comes packed with several features, including:
  • Fully custom 3D model that can be held or placed in the world.
  • Well known authentic sound effects, from the STALKER series.
  • Custom texture for a unique look.

Current Implemented Features
  • Players start with a PDA (fully configurable via sandbox options).
  • Supports all functions of the vanilla walkie-talkie (requires the PDA to be equipped as the primary item).
  • Map access through the PDA, while regular map access can be disabled completely by the sandbox option of the mod. Do not disable Allow World Map Option in vanilla Sandbox options!
    • Numpad 0 shortcut for quick map access when vanilla map access is disabled and the player has a PDA in their inventory
    • Draw, create symbols, write, and erase freely in all colors directly on the map via the PDA.
  • Mini Map access through the PDA, while regular access can be disabled completely by the sandbox option of the mod. Do not disable Allow Mini Map Option in vanilla Sandbox options!
  • Option to play an iconic track from the STALKER series - which one exactly, you’ll have to find out yourself!
    • Caution: Playing it will attract the undead.
  • Accurate weather forecast for the next day, including average daytime and nighttime temperatures, and warnings for extreme conditions (e.g., heavy rain, storm, blizzard, fog, tropical storm, and more).
  • The PDA emits a soft glow when equipped, simulating the light of a real electronic display.

Where to Find It?
Whispers tell of these high-end military devices turning up around military zones.
The army surplus store owner might have pulled some strings to get a few... or maybe he just got lucky. There are even rumors that some high rank officers at the Police Departments have been seen with one clipped to their belts.

Keep your eyes open, survivor - with a bit of luck, you might just score one of these rare and valuable gadgets.


More complex features are planned for future updates, especially if the mod gains popularity.






We have the awesome 3D model thanks to the master himself and my longtime buddy Nox.

@Codsworth
Thanks a lot!
There is a sandbox setting for Fahrenheit:spiffo:
Codsworth 18 Jul @ 6:37am 
I am loving this mod, i was wondering if there was any way to get the PDA to be in Fahrenheit when it reads out the weather

I mean it gives 2 types of errors. Even though the game runs, but with a lot of stutter.

@Stealth
Thanks! As for the compatibility: Did you test it and can confirm that it doesnt work?
Stealth'23 17 Jul @ 10:06am 
nice mod, could you please make it compatible with bandits and week one?
Desu Pink 8 Jul @ 2:26am 
I understand thank you for taking the time to reply and clarifying it <3

@Desu
Thanks!

Adding compatibility for True Music will take a bit of time, so I won’t be doing that as of now, as I’m currently occupied with a big project - Post-Soviet Armory B42 Revamp

Buuuut if someone wants to sponsor that feature, I could definitely reevaluate the importance of it lmao

As for the player restrictions, I think I understand what you’re aiming for. However, the map and minimap settings are global in vanilla.

What you’re describing would require a custom mod that assigns specific flags to individual players and grants them access to certain vanilla functions. So unfortunately, it’s not possible using vanilla settings alone.

hihi! couple of things . firstly great mod no real complaints its great fun. However would there be a way to add compatibility to play cassettes/ add support for true music? Secondly which might be a thing . is there a way to have the pda work differently for people on the server? I would like a more hardcore forced to use pda for directions but I wouldnt want to force that on other people on the server so they can see the minimap regardless

@all
New update is out!
You can now use the minimap with the PDA and even restrict it to PDA-only access if you want.

Check the change notes for full details!
