so from reading the comments I can summarize for anyone finding this great mod

1) it works. but in my experience, only 1 person can be in the map layer at a time, otherwise markings will keep resetting during sync.

2) share annotations mod has numerous reports of not working, sadly (mainly just want the ability to add the looted "Annotated Maps" automatically to your own map.

3) map symbol size - either it turns icons into a black box (one person said this) or every icon becomes X chosen size. The latter is no big issue, the former, yes...

Otherwise yep seemed to work for me and my friend group (400 mods).

Build 42 doesn't even have multiplayer, bruh

Build 42?

Hello thank you for the mod. I'm trying to add this to my current MP server with friends but the option doesn't show up. Do I have to recreate the faction first? I do have Extra Map symbols and the UI do I change the order please someone help thank you.

My bad, I had a quick look into the code, and it looks like it *should* be real time.

I can't come up with a solution now as I'm quite busy IRL

So it's not real-time like the mod introduction and video says?? Since there's no red in the mod manager, it doesn't seem to be a mod conflict, and the server is only used by me and my friend...

If I recall correctly, the map synchronizes only AFTER you close the map. Or the server you are using is struggling with the player count or mods

There is a delay in my marking until my friend can see it, so what's the problem?

I'm just here to bump up the idea of compatibility with Map Symbol Size Slider

I think there is a way but it's currently a bit too complicated considering that B42 will change a lot of stuff, I won't be updating untill B42 comes out

Is there a way to ensure that the entries are transmitted immediately and not only when you close the map? As soon as you make entries at the same time, only those whose player closes the map last will be adopted.

Ooooh, I think this issue happens because the server is shutting down withouut saving the moddata. Try turning off the game using the console command in the PZ shell

Hey Mxswat,

we're booting the pz from a podman / docker container - when we're rebooting the server, we simply restart the container. After the restart, the faction and the faction's map content are gone. Do you have any idea? Thank you for your feedback!

Was it a normal reboot? That's new I never heard of this

Hello everyone, sorry if this has been discussed before - but is the shared map layer deleted after a server reboot? We rebootet the server and everything was gone, is this regular behaviour?

It would be cool if this could get a compatibility patch for the Map Symbol Size Slider mod

This is not working at all on my hosted server with me and my buddy...we enabled the mod in the server settings we also both subscribed to the mod and the button in the map symbol panel just never shows up? We also made sure that we were in the same faction.

Try googleing next time

How do i create a faction

i was thinking maybe it can be fixed with a cache system or sync button. if you want to make it that is. for now ill, we'll have to delete it

is there a way to fix the lag with the mod draw on map? i traced a line across the map to show my friends what roads to clear and now icons/text/lines will all disappear after placing them.. is there anyway to fix this?

Uh that's new, once I'm back to PZ ill look into it

Be warned. I run a lot of mods and one of them interacted badly with this mod but only after someone tried to make a faction on my server. That person got kicked from the server and when I tried to open my in game map the game locked up. I could only use ctrl+alt+del to get out of the game.

I am sure it is a wonderful mod. I just had a glitch, :)

Fantastic mod.

hi, I need help, I loaded the mod correctly, my players download it, but they don't see (Neither them, nor me as admin) the "Shared map" button, what can I do?

not tried splitscreen yet, but does this work there too? or is splitscreen stuff already shared?

Works like a charm, thank you!

Appears to be working, and i use the word "appears" as i don't have anyone to play with that can validate it. Sharing annotations like this should really be in vanilla and not require a mod.

Tested using Build 41.78.

@Leenbow wouldn't that problem be "fixed" by reverting the symbol sizes to default when you write on the faction map?

idk going to sub and try

Note for others: causes issues when you use this with the mod that one that allows changing of symbols size. Symbols with changed sizes will appear as big SQUARES on your allies maps after the synchronization. Don't change the symbol size to avoid that.

It's a nice add-on. Can we use this feature to form a map icon that's split into layers? It would be cool if we could configure navigation arrows when driving a vehicle and turn them on only when needed. Also, if the passenger in the vehicle takes a navigation mark on the driver and arrives at the destination, they can delete the layer containing that arrow, and if they x-mark a check for a specific house, it would be nice to hide that layer when the item collection is complete and make the map beautiful.

Is there a way to make a player map the source for a faction map? I'd like to share my map and then work on it together.

Thank you for this mod. Building a shared map with my friend has been a lot of fun and we get so much more use out of the symbols + Extra Map Symbols mod now.

For some reason the real-time map updates are not working for us, which causes us to lose any changes to the map if two people have it open at once. Is this a known issue with other mods?

It seems to be incompatible with Share Annotations mode..

This is one mod that I have, for some reason it doesn’t work(

Is this compatible with "Extra Map Symbols UI" which adds ability to adjust symbol and text size?

Translation option will be really great!

Would it be possible for you to add an extra "global" layer that everyone can use?

Like what it is, for sure. The idea is sound yet I and those I play with would get more use out of it if it weren't, basically, two separate maps, if, instead, it essentially overlayed the faction annotations over the player's annotations and let you toggle the faction annotations on or off. Something akin to toggling layers in photoshop to visible or not. If the faction annotations layer is visible then you can see all the annotations on that layer and mark on that layer, if it's not then you're marking only on your personal map and can only see what's on your personal map.

Just to note if anyone else is struggling to get this to work try putting it at the end of the load order. It seems there is a function in the mod to force it to load last but I don't think it works.

Doesn't seem to work with the "Shared Annotations" mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2815560151 . I can no longer see any annotations on either the shared map or the faction map after installing this mod

anyway to have this as opt out?

We need a translation, please!

You just need to create an EN, and everyone in the world will love your work^ ^

my markings scaling size are being changed to a bigger size than what i set it to be.

Am I allowed / permitted to add this to our modpack to keep the mod amount low? No files would be edited or altered at all. TY

Hey there quick question were fairly new to the game and we just got the mod i host my own local server with me and my friend and we got the mod on my server and we see the added option to share the symbles to faction but he can't see them at all.

Even when we both enabled and disabled the symbles anyone know why? :P

Hi! Can I use this mod on my server's modpack? I'll wait on your answer. Thanks.

@[John] @LordVoynor
In Vanilla, you can go in C:\Users\USERNAME\Zomboid\Server\SERVERNAME.ini, edit it and go to "MapRemotePlayerVisibility" (line 305).
it set the player position on the map : 1=no one, 2=friends only, 3=everybody.
So no need mod for this now ^^

@Mx what mod is that?

@【John】there are many mods that do this already.
