REQUEST: Return mini-map, JUST to find corpses Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Not having a minimap seems one of the biggest "immersion-features" and i fully accept it, BUT it makes finding lootable corpses pure pain.

IF POSSIBLE: When equipping DETECTOR, show minimap, but only show grey the dots - as in dead enemies OR if possible, lootable muties. Im not sure if its possible but if no loot is found on a corpse, dont show it. Basicly turning the detector into a loot-finder and thus fitting in the "theme" of the mod and keeping the immersion.

This is a good idea but instead of the detector maybe its possible to have our own pda and have to equip that to find the corpses. If I remember correctly the Pda was used to identify and give information about the Stalkers around you (Rank, Faction, etc.). If this breaks the immersion then simply make it use the UPD to balance it out.

I really like not having a radar. Having to remember where people/mutants died in order to get their loot, or having too many people shooting at you so you start to forget where everything is, is something I really like.

Agreed STALKER!

It is not really so hard is it?

Now that Google glasses are out, maybe this could be added back in. Maybe only if wearing an advanced helmet as the Sphere M08 and M12. I doubt you can make it so that you toggle it on and off, but if so, you could add battery use. It would be a nice addition, besides, one of the technicians special upgrade was the detection on the tactical helmet, upgrade which is now useless because you couldn't see where enemies are. Or can someone tell me what this upgrade got replaced with.

I saw a show on Discovery once where they were talking about adding this kind of HUD for soldiers sometime in the future.

For the very least, a compass to help with navigation, especially when it is foggy and you can only see 15 meters ahead.

PS, sorry for reviving an old thread.

Yeah a compass would be cool! Really up the immersion in the early stages before getting a UPD, like the wind up torch! Maybe even scraps of maps on dead stalkers or in stashes. Really phase out the pda into a higher spec.

Don't know if the compass could go mad during emissions :-P

Having this implemented as in implemented with no option to get rid of it like in vanilla would truly suck. If this ever happens I sure hope they make it optional.

Hate to say it, but I turned on the minimap as I didn't like not finding the bandit I just committed several rounds to to loot.

I just turn the grass density down all the way, it helps a lot.

Not as pretty though

True, but the whole world just seems a little brighter with some change in your pocket I turned it down for exact same reason; sometimes it's awful hard even by the cranes to find some bodies. Especially when you snipe them from 200 yards away then have to run over and find them from an entirely different vantage point. A heads up display like that would have to come with a significant additional battery drain which might offset any benefits...

How to bring back grey dots that are showing dead bodies pls?

I imagine it is just pushed off the screen somehow, but I don't know how to undo it. Turning down the grass density and using the "f" or whatever your custom use key is will highlight the weapons they dropped and help you find the corpses.

I don't know why but it worked with misery mod few days ago
On GOG version I tried something and it worked now I play steam version bot it do not work
What piss me off the most is that i forgot what I changed

Try the link in the other minimap post and remove the spaces in the name, it might work.
