gonna shit Jul 31 @ 4:31pm 
can u make one with the ui of the minimap only. i like to mix it with a pda mod
Greenjack May 25 @ 12:02pm 
oh :( so i guess i need to wait for B42 to be stable, as it won't be anytime soon unfortunately...
AuD  [author] May 25 @ 11:58am 
I'm not coding anymore at the moment, I'm waiting for build 42 in PM, I'm like 200% or 0%, all or nothing, and I don't want to work for nothing, so many things to sort out for the b42^^
Greenjack May 25 @ 11:54am 
Also another thing, like the guy that made the "Start with GPS" mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3020791459&searchtext=item+gps
I was thinking what about making a one thing in ur mod and so it could be good, since it just randomly pulls out from all the 5 devices, just to have a sandbox config to set which one to spawn with OR just leaving it random
Greenjack May 25 @ 11:47am 
yeah he actually used the radar from the survival challenge, maybe it could be something already inside the DZ2012 with a sandbox option or a button to toggle ON/OFF or it could be a tuning with electrical skill high enough, actually it's always good to try give that skill a sense besides hotwiring xD
AuD  [author] May 25 @ 11:41am 
maybe other device with possibility to activate on dz2012 in sandbox...
AuD  [author] May 25 @ 11:39am 
very good !!
Greenjack May 25 @ 5:15am 
oh so are you going to exclusive work on B42? Like are there any chances to maybe see this radar thing (like this mod RadarZ https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3436681654&searchtext=radar+z) implemented in B41?
Also i was thinking that this feature could be enabled/disabled with sandbox options, so ppl that don't want zed radar can play without like no problems
AuD  [author] May 21 @ 12:58pm 
yes yes i see , maybe good, i think ^^ I will come back to improve my mods and make them compatible with the b42, so many things can change in the PZ code, while the mp comes out
Greenjack May 21 @ 12:00pm 
thanks for the answer, anyway i checked "Radar" on workshop and there is only one actually, i need to test it but it should be a minimap thing that is always active like Erins
What i was thinking is that the GPS (at least the military one) could be perfect with this addon like a sound detecting movements or sound radar that gives you hints of zeds around or (implemented only in the DZ2012) a radar showing zeds nearby
My point is that having this infos is OP of course, BUT only when you have the DZ2012 and also since it can be damaged and break, i think it's balanced
AuD  [author] May 20 @ 11:31pm 
Hi, I think this wouldn't be suitable for GPS, there are radar mods I'm sure ;)
Greenjack May 20 @ 12:18pm 
Heyo! actually i saw this video https://youtu.be/5NYqAznia_A that made me know about this awesome mod and that distress signal is even so freakin' cooler to get those sneaky b* zeds out of their hides xD
Anyway i was thinking about (obv if is a possible mod) that it would be cool to add even a "radar sound", like when zeds are detected around (don't know how many tiles, like 10 or 20 or whatever) the GPS basically emits a signal so that you know if a place is secure or not, then activate the Distress Signal or just move with cautious
So with that is like having a Erin's Map but not that OP

I cannot insert a battery into my GPS for an unknown reason, but I can dismantle the GPS. Please help
marshmallow justice Apr 11 @ 1:47am 
ahh that too me a lot longer to figure out than i should have but it was because my char was in Admin mode! Didn't know admin mode forced the map on & had weird minimap interaction, since we play with All Known At Start before I turned it off when installing this. Everything works right now! so good
marshmallow justice Apr 9 @ 9:25pm 
for example when it is on my belt, and i hold K button per instruction, it will show up and work great, but as second later, the GUI will disapper and its just normal minimap
it only says proper if its turn on + holding (ie. KK)
marshmallow justice Apr 9 @ 9:19pm 
hi i just added this to my save and it seems to work, though there was one error upon pressing M for the first time (and seems all my explored fog got disappeared)

but whenever I try to use the gps, usually unless specific motions, the gps ui disapperas and it becomes just the normal minimap box
Teufelby2006 Mar 21 @ 3:26pm 
Does the military gps only show your cordenades? does it have a way to show the mini map on it? Btw great mod! it makes zomboid more tactical / hardcore gameplay experience. Kudos!
Doc Feb 23 @ 3:00pm 
awesome mod AuD! thx for all the time and effort you spend on making this awesome game even better bud.
AuD  [author] Jan 22 @ 10:01am 
no problem
Ostalius Jan 22 @ 9:59am 
NVM ignore me I was set as Admin -_- XD Sorry
Ostalius Jan 22 @ 9:52am 
Maybe im misunderstanding the setting instruction but by allowing mini map my server just ends up having a mini map show all the time, is there a way to hide it so that only GPS shows it?
AuD  [author] Jan 12 @ 12:35am 
You thought I was getting paid?
AuD  [author] Jan 12 @ 12:34am 
This is not the kind of comment that will motivate me to resume development... that's for sure!
Caistrophytum Jan 10 @ 10:37pm 
It is their choice, you know. Unhappy? shut up and move on.
AuD  [author] Dec 29, 2024 @ 1:22am 
all my mods will be updated for B42 when the MP is released ... wait and to be patient, it's only the beta...
Jordan98ish2 Dec 28, 2024 @ 4:12pm 
b42 update pls :c
LonelyNN Dec 1, 2024 @ 12:25am 
Update: there is not enough file with the translation of the sandbox settings, I will post it
LonelyNN Dec 1, 2024 @ 12:09am 
Friends, you have 3 products (CN. ES, RU) that are in the archive, and which have all earned, and which are being invented... Correct it, please. Thanks!


Who needs a translation of these three then the way:

AuD  [author] Nov 19, 2024 @ 9:23am 
i'm just present for debug ^^
AuD  [author] Nov 19, 2024 @ 9:22am 
it's good idea, but i've no time for the moment ... maybe later, speak to other author from the NPC mod or other related mods ;)
Caistrophytum Nov 18, 2024 @ 9:10pm 
Maybe you could make it a partnership with an already existing NPC mods, like the "Bandits" mod or even an appearence of a helicopter from the "Extended Helicopter Events" mod. I was really expecting something to happen...
AuD  [author] Nov 18, 2024 @ 4:57am 
no emergency ^^ just a technic to attract zombies
Caistrophytum Nov 17, 2024 @ 10:45am 
Is the distress call useable for something? Maybe with an accompanying mod or something? It's a cool idea, but there are no emergency services...?
Arira Nov 14, 2024 @ 6:15am 
Ok, nvm, I'm dumb. I did not read shortcut option properly.
Arira Nov 14, 2024 @ 12:54am 
Is gps suppose to be closed if not equipped in the hands?
I've noticed commented out part that supposed to turn it off I think, but it's already doing so and I would love to keep it On whilst on the belt. Is it intended behavior or am I having a bug?
Boomer Nov 11, 2024 @ 6:36am 
Seems like the mod stopped working for me, i have both options enabled, i press K twice, i hear the beep but no gps window show up nor does my postion on the map itself is displayed..
Chameran Nov 9, 2024 @ 3:58pm 
Is there any way to hide the map as an admin on MP servers? It seems to permanently toggle "Unhide Entire Map" and I'd rather have that stay as a toggle and play normally. Thanks
Breno Nov 9, 2024 @ 10:21am 
@AuD a brief explanation of how this mod works for brazilian users
AuD  [author] Nov 9, 2024 @ 9:06am 
@joveice the signal attracts zombies, and that's it...

@Breno I dont understand
Breno Nov 9, 2024 @ 8:19am 
a única utilidade que esse mod tem é restringir o mini mapa dos jogadores tendo que encontrar esses aparelhos e cuidar da manutenção deles, pra mover a interface deles você tem que clicar na janela do mini mapa e acima dela vai aparecer um indicador como se fosse um botão é nisso que você tem que clicar pra poder arrastar a janela deles, clicar e arrastar em qual quer canto não funciona somente nessa parte, devido ao tamanho das interfaces esse mod é recomendado pra quem joga em 1080p e 4k pra 720p eles ocupam muito espaço na tela
joveice Oct 23, 2024 @ 9:14am 
What does the distress signal do? Just playing on the abilities of certain GPS's or does it actually have a function?

Is it also possible to share some kind of link between players allowing them to see each other with certain GPS's?
AuD  [author] Sep 20, 2024 @ 3:47am 
only one gps work in car, H800, put the h800 in glovebox with a GPS electric cable, turn the ignition key, if you have the batterie, the gps work
Skarrjn Sep 19, 2024 @ 6:36pm 
How do you install the GPS into a vehicle?
AuD  [author] Sep 17, 2024 @ 1:21pm 
it's strange ... that work on all vehicle even modded
MeanSmoker Sep 17, 2024 @ 1:01pm 
Any idea why I can't attach the tracker to my car? The option is in red text "attach the tracker #tr324234325" I have a screwdriver 5 screws and 1 electric wire and the headlight removed but it won't give me the option. Is it because it's a modded car? does it have to be vanilla by chance?

AuD  [author] Aug 15, 2024 @ 9:32am 
I read your comments, but I'm not working on this mod at the moment, I can take care of the problems, but no new additions for the moment...

thnak you for your comments ;) i will re-read this later^^
WATTO ROCKS Aug 14, 2024 @ 10:40am 
Hi there, we play without main map so.... is there a way to add something like you have to find the ingame lootable maps from the different cities and load them into the GPS and only works on those you have previously added?

Is the mod broke? Last time I used it each time I hit 'turn on' it beeped and wouldn't turn on at all.
