The different chat-channels

[Matze (DayZ) 23]

In the game there are different chat channels.

Like "Side Channel", "Direct communication", "Vehicle Channel", "Group Channel". Do I missed one?

Can somebody explain who can see what I write (or mark on the map) in which channel?

What I know:

Side channel

Readable all over the server. But what if I do a mark on the map? Is it also visible for everyone?

Direct communication

Readable in a certain area around you (40m?!), same with VoIP.

Marks on map visible for everyone? Or just when one is in this certain area?

Vehicle channel

Just visible/readable for people who are in vehicles?

Group channel

I have no idea.. :D

So thanks in advance and please correct me when I'm wrong :)

Edit: Oops, I think I got into the wrong section of this forum. Should be posted in "New Player discussion", sry for that.

if you mark the map, everyone can see it

Group channel is for chatting in the lobby.

Mh, when my friend marked a place on the map on "Vehicle channel" I couldn't see it.

But we didn't tested it out for all channel and ranges, so I decided to ask for help here ;)

By double-clicking the ingame-map you can place marks on the map. You can also write a little describtion next to it.
