I understand that this might be difficult, but what if you add a zombie display to the minimap? Similar to eris_minimap in b41. This could blow up this community!!!
Loving this mod so much, every time want to find this incredible item

Awesome thank you!!

@Codsworth
Thanks a lot!
There is a sandbox setting for Fahrenheit

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?

nice mod, could you please make it compatible with bandits and week one?

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!

@all
I’ve found a solid approach to implement the frequently requested minimap feature. The first draft is already working, but still needs some refinement. (You can also expect a new and familiar sound!)

Stay tuned for the next update!

@Gore
Currently, there’s no such option. I’m a bit tied up with a big project at the moment, but I’ll take a look at the possibility tomorrow.

No promises but if it’s doable without causing issues, it might be added very soon.

is there an option to make the pda open the minimap when equipped?and disabled without it

@all
New custom PDA 3D model now also works in Build 41. Enjoy!

I hope there are moments when I can't even see the mini-map and world-map when the battery is completely dead.

@Mint_A
Thanks for your suggestions!
The minimap is in the works - I’m currently a bit tied up with a large project I'm working on with a team called "Project Volga Ural", but I’ll try to implement some changes this weekend.

As for the belt: you’re probably playing on B41, right? It still uses the old model because I’m waiting on a small rework of the new one before bringing it to B41. Stay tuned, an update is coming soon!

It would be nice to have a sandbox setting that would also turn on the minimap function when carrying a PDA. (It would be even better if it could be mounted on a belt.)

@b1gsleep
There is no short key for playing the song and no shortkey for the weather forecasting.

Custom songs are also not planned because that functionality is out of scope because how wonky PZ Sound Emitter is.

I hope there's a hot key for song playback and weather forecasting. I hope I can add custom songs as well.

@Equilix
Yes, I should specify that the access to the map can be disabled through the sandbox of my mod instead of the vanilla option. Thanks for finding and pointing that out!

@Hephaistos
Got it working. I'd put in the description that "Allow World Map" in the sandbox settings needs to be enabled. I thought that it didn't due to this "while regular map access can be disabled completely"

Could just be me though that misread it and didn't understand. The mods awesome ty for the quick help!

@Equilix
Dpeends on the mods if they overwrite the map action.
Try to load my mod at the bottom, that could help.

If not, I can take a look at the B41 MP a bit closer.

Is there any known incompatibilities with the Open PDA Map Function? For whatever reason on my hosted server the PDA just beeps when trying to open the Map. In the sandbox settings I've set the World Map to Disabled but should it be enabled instead? I also have the setting enabled for the map to only be used via the PDA

Quick heads-up: I’ve found a solution to the map writing issue that’s been around since the beginning.

With the next update, you’ll be able to create markings, write on the map in all colors, move and delete notes and markings directly on the map!

The update will likely drop tomorrow - after I’ve finished testing everything in B41.

Hej @all,
just released a new update! It includes a fix for B41 map drawing without a pen when using the PDA, and I finally added the highly requested shortcut for quick PDA map access.

Check the changelog for full details

@Ava
The PDA working without a battery is intended. Only the radio needs power.

Forcing the player to hold it when opening the map is planned and will come with a custom two-hand animation that is currently in the cooking.

I would like a function so that when you press M, the character automatically takes the PDA in his hand and opens the map. And automatically puts it in the backpack when you close the map.

PDA continues to work without battery

@Gaugeatron
Oh thats actually a real good addition to the functionality. I havent played with the minimap for ages so didnt even had that in mind.

Thanks for pointing it out! I am going to see what I can do

Great mod, It would be cool if you could make it so that the mini map is only available if you equip one of these.

@Trento You can add the translation yourself man, check the thread.

Portuguese version when?

@Hephaistos
Yes, B42.81. Since other people aren't talking about it, it could be just my problem.

@Tomato
Hm, it might be causing by the new model references.
I will take a look at the webbing.

Are you playing on B42? For the time being, just use the belt slots for the PDA.

It looks weird in webbing slot. It wasn't like this before...
I thought it was because of other mods, so I made a new save just applied only this mod, but it was still weird. I don't know if it's a bug or my mistake.

@Kylo
Hm, that could be indeed a real cool idea. I am going to take a look at the options but wont promise anything.

@SaloIvanov
Спасибо за отзыв! Рад, что вам нравится мой мод.
Идея ограничения доступа к карте заключалась в том, чтобы заставить игроков носить КПК на поясе и использовать карту вручную. Но, возможно, я смогу настроить так, чтобы клавиша карты работала только при наличии КПК в инвентаре. Я посмотрю, что можно сделать, но ничего обещать не буду.

Would be cool if it could be used as a journal for the death journal mod.

Прекрасный мод, но нет ли возможности открывать карту, по нажатие кнопки M? А то мне очень нравится звук с которым она открывается из пда, но залазить каждый раз в инвентарь, что бы открытьк карту, ну, это неудобно.

@Quilava
The dim light only shines when you equip the PDA as your primary item. It can't be used for reading books.

Does the new dim light emit from the PDA enough to read book?

Hej @all,
a small update is planned for the coming days — including the requested free PDA map marking, a Fahrenheit option for our overseas friends and a few other cool little additions.

Stay tuned, the update is just around the corner!

@NMB
Uh, thats a real interesting idea. I'll look into it!

That is actually a great idea, since we are using a PDA, makes no sense to need an eraser and pen/pencil to adds marks lol

can u make it so that pen/pencil is not neccessary for marking stuff on the map?

@Bedros Safelyani
Turkish should be available since the last update

Thank you for the fix, cheers!

Turkish Plz

Hej @all
The new update is out! Enjoy the new, more detailed 3D model, much better attachment placement in B42 and the ability to finally receive the vanilla broadcasts through the PDA!

More detailed info can be found in the changelog!

@Ebu
Currently, there is no quick-access button for the PDA. I might add one later down the road.

@Quilava
The best chances to find the PDA are in military zones. Outside of those, it's pretty rare, since the PDA is a military-grade asset. As for the crafting recipe, I have a general idea of what it should cost and what skills should be required, but it's not ready yet.
