Map stuff.

[methr1k2dop3 323]

When you mark things on your map a player can pick it up and see it.

 

Your marked up map would be valuable information.

Maybe even set up a ambush?

 

Example scenario would be

  Kill someone, and loot his body.

  Find his map and he marked where a broken car was or his camp.

I also had in mind is a GPS system.

you can attach a GPS to stuff like vehicles or tents.

And this of course is info you will only have in your characters life.

A map will consist of things you mark and GPS cords.

Sounds good.

That's pretty cool, I don't know if it is do-able in the mod but this would be great for Standalone instead of people magically seeing the markers you put on your map throughout the whole server.

I like the idea of sending someone on a hunt for sasquatch or actually coming up on some ones camp they had marked.

Banditry could get a lot more interesting .

Always a favorite in my book.

 

Rather than some high tech gps gizmo, I'd like to see a tinkerer's radio transmitter that could be tracked with the proper gear and frequency.  Might make tracking down baddies interesting and give us older gents some Red Dawn flashbacks.

maybe this requires a pencil or pen to write on map and if in pencil can be rubbed off?

Something along the lines of destroying map. 

Don't drop a map with all your precious cords marked!

 

People would make their own little codes. and get creative. For instance i wouldn't mark exact location of something i would have every thing exactly 500 meters North of the location i was trying to map.

Having that mystery would be kinda cool to.

Someone has something marked who knows what they found or have there. could be a trap!

Didn't GPS get removed? I saw a reddit thread that said so.

It would have to be a pretty good map system to divert people from using RL pen and paper to write down notes. (or an out of game map solution), if people can steal your map and get their hands on all your goodies, this might just be all it takes for no one to use the ingame map seriously.
