keeslingusarmy 17 Posted August 7, 2012 Everyone uses maps. Arma's navigation would be ridiculous without them. A lot of people will go and use separate maps for example dayzdb's map. Showing locations of Deer stand , Grocery stores , Fire Houses , Ect.I was thinking of changing the in game map , to a similar style. Once you receive your map , once you go to any Near Points of Interest say Deer Stands , Grocery Store , Ect. Its marked on your map as so. (maybe as if the charter circled the building or location in pencil) and now your map will be the ultimate reference guide to all the locations you've been to. Maybe you can have notes on your map for certain coordinates , or what have you.The catch is , after spending 5 days collecting all the points and everything , a bandit can kill you and take your map. With all of your information that you personally put on there , as well as see all the locations you've traveled to , and then know where some near land marks are. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BunnyHillPro 111 Posted August 7, 2012 This would be a cool feature. I don't see why it shouldn't collect locations of stuff you've been to if you want it there. As far as implementation goes, this would take too much time for what it's worth because there are 'out of game' maps that do this for you. Plus, I don't think the arma engine would allow for this. BUT, in a stand alone, im all for this. +1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CptSpank 19 Posted August 7, 2012 A little like the Fallout 3 / Skyrim maps, with the points of interest auto adding to your map as you travel about.I'm surprised such a feature doesn't already exist. But this is Alpha so much yet still to be changed and added. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RapturJesus 90 Posted August 7, 2012 You can already do that if you place down your marker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pod (DayZ) 10 Posted August 7, 2012 You can already do that if you place down your marker.The only problem is that anyone who has a map on your server can see everyone's markes 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
