This mod from Lux adds names to certain points on your PDA and mini-map.
Readme File:
Mod name: PDA map with point names - Yantar v1.1
Author: Lux aka LuxZg
Version: 1.1
Date: 15.10.2008.
STALKER CS: 1.5.0.5
Description/Changelog:
--v1.1--
This mod adds names of points to the Yantar map in your PDA, as they are shown when you get quests.
Points included in this map are all those that are valid smart_terrain points for use in current game (1.5.05)
If you ask - there was no v1.0, I have made this one 1.1 directly because it is made in the same way and with same improvements as my other maps which are also v1.1. It has properly compressed texture, and contains mipmaps as well, so it's almost the same thing as original texture.
This is work in progress, and goal is to have all levels mapped like this.
Preview:
This is how the map looks.. raw texture (converted to JPEG) - I259.photobucket.com
Overview on whole Swamps map in the in-game PDA - I259.photobucket.com
Zoomed in to part of level - I259.photobucket.com
Minimap shows the markings as well (and you see I'm at the correct spot; 2 pictures) - I259.photobucket.com ; I259.photobucket.com
Tested:
Tested in 1.5.05, works fine, and no problems at all.
Future of this mod:
This is probably final Yantar map and will not be changed anymore, unless game devs make more smart_terrains in future patches.
Next will be other level's maps.. most probably Red Forest..

Other PDA maps by me:
I am also including overview of all 6 maps that I've made so far: Swamps, Cordon, Garbage, Dark Valley, Agroprom, Yantar - all v1.1, and you can find them all in STALKER FileFront and GSC Game mod download sections! (it's in 3 parts since I couldn't fit them all in a single view anymore :D ) :
BOTTOM (Swamps and Cordon) - I259.photobucket.com
MIDDLE (Garbage/Agroprom/Dark Valley and partial view of Swamps and Cordon) - I259.photobucket.com
TOP (Garbage/Agroprom/Dark Valley and Yantar) - I259.photobucket.com

There was already map of Swamps when I've started this, made by Lobstris! Check it out here!

Styles are different, but idea is the same. Ofcourse, you'll probably want to stay with my version so you have all maps in the same style, but I've been including his map from the start in my readmes, and I won't stop now.. Cheers man, and thanks for helping me around with Gimping these textures :)
