If I make a flyer with this mod, can I duplicate the flier? I don't wanna have to re-write what I just made 200 times

What happens if I remove the mod mid-game?

Do the drawings show on a mini map?

Not sure if a bug, or just B42 related. But reducing thinness of the line to minimum and using that to "mark" buildings with an X over a small city led to a lot of map lag, like really bad. I had to go through and manually delete all my drawings on the map and replace them with symbols as it was just too big of a map performance drain.

Map pan speed would go back to normal anywhere I hadn't drawn on the map on, or when fully zoomed in. But seeing from a "city-glance" the FPS Loss panning the map was really bad. Don't remember this being an issue in B41 though.

Created the italian translation, thanks for your work with the mod you created!

is it hard to mod an item (graphic paper) into something you can draw freehand on? I want to be able to use it mainly for mapping areas underground but also to use with the rpg books / dice

I modified my translation by removing an accent on the word (Epaisseur) that I had forgotten to remove
Jiwix Jan 3 @ 9:29am 
I've added the French translation in the translation section
without adding the accents on a and e so that it's in UTF-8.

Лично у меня этот мод запускал вечную загрузку сервера, без него все работает.

I've been using arrows to draw words, it's painful, but I've realized that just using symbols and different colours of pen is easier
BIPPU Dec 29, 2024 @ 8:44am 
can I use some of your code to create my own?

Thank you for the reply! Happy Holidays!

Yes/No
Shared Faction/Coop Map Symbols does not support changing the size of map symbols.
Which means your lines will get *much* thicker when shared.
DonZekane Dec 28, 2024 @ 11:39am 
Does this work with Mxswat's Shared Faction/Coop Map Symbols ?
Evenko Dec 28, 2024 @ 5:59am 
HAHAHAH Ive my doubt he will keep his promises
Notloc  [author] Dec 25, 2024 @ 9:06am 
Just promise not to draw words
Notloc  [author] Dec 25, 2024 @ 9:06am 
Will be fixed next update
Skeebeeble Dec 24, 2024 @ 9:09pm 
Can't draw if I'm illiterate :(
Lord Skarra Dec 22, 2024 @ 5:32pm 
is the line tool only on B42? or is it B41? Because i don't see a line option at all?

It just says Draw, Erase, Thickness, Fill?

Does the mod need items to do stuff?
Like a pen is needed to write everywhere?
gummi62607 Dec 21, 2024 @ 7:18pm 
we all know what we are gonna draw first.
goldpapaya Dec 21, 2024 @ 2:23pm 
The only mod that I couldn't live without in vanilla. Thank you!
Mang Dec 21, 2024 @ 10:42am 
feature idea, make simple graphics for the new trash items and then allow us to draw on like parking tickets and the new notepads, thought itd be cool
jabr0ni Dec 19, 2024 @ 3:24pm 
The moment I tried the map feature I was like "I wish I could draw my own stuff on it"

thanks for this!
Kevin_de_Arte Dec 18, 2024 @ 12:17pm 
Tested in 42!! Works well
Lord Skarra Dec 17, 2024 @ 8:28pm 
how do u do line then? all i've been able to do is draw on it, like a pencil? i've not seen any line tool button or something?
Notloc  [author] Dec 17, 2024 @ 7:40pm

cheers for the update

B42 version is live.

@Lord Skarra it has the line tool.
I may look into a section tool in the future.
Fill tool is unfeasible due to how this works under the hood.
Notloc  [author] Dec 17, 2024 @ 1:23pm 
A b42 version will be available shortly.
The b41 version will remain as well thanks to the new version of Zomboid supporting mod versioning.
Lord Skarra Dec 1, 2024 @ 7:02pm 
This is one of the best mods. Why? Because it helps me fill in the map for modded maps were there is missing stuff. such as maps like the AIZ Map Pack.

A Few ideas for an update for this mod.

A Line Tool.
click 1 spot, click the other, make a line between the 2 spots. Why? Because when drawing lines for roads, they end up not straight, and it would be cool to have this.

Section Tool.
Basically draw a square over an area. Thats perfectly squared?
Used for showing a zone of an area

Fill Color Tool.
Basically like how we have different color pens we need a fill color tool for sections So we can fill an area in?





Also if anyone has any idea of an Updating Map, that updates the map so it shows modded locations that have been added that would be nice to... For some reason i come across areas on the map that don't exist, i'm not sure why the map isn't updating and showing these locations.

They show up more on the Non-Satalite map, but not all of them.

So there is no way to make markings visible on minimaps?

使用体验:自定义划线很方便,但删除很繁琐,每条线都是用一个个小点组成,删除只能每个点逐一点击删除,劝退、

Don't put exclamation points (!) in the item name or it will soon disappear. Might be true of all special symbols, not sure. Happened to me twice.

+1 on the map share

Option to share a map inside a faction?

@minish it does say it works in multiplayer, so probably!
minish Sep 4, 2024 @ 6:35pm 
can i use this in multiplayer?

Drawing on the map are displayed incorrectly on minimap, they are much thicker on minimap.
Hot_Bean69 Sep 3, 2024 @ 4:09pm 
i remember seeing a mod that gets rid of the map in the game and you had to make your own by drawing on it i thought it was a really cool concept i dont remember what the mod is called

any one have a clue
Chaos_02 Sep 1, 2024 @ 2:31am 
Hey I really love this mod - any chance the drawings could also display on the minimap?
Would be great for planning routes on road trips!
Great realism for stuff like that mod that shows the minimap only when you equip a map as secondary/primary so you could do that and drive
