Description
This mod gives you a new standalone map layer that your faction members can update from anywhere on the map, and the changes to it will appear on everyone else's faction layers IN REAL TIME!.

Don't be fooled by the name of the mod! This is not only for PvP and factions! This is a great mod for your PvE server with your friends!

It's finally time to stop wondering if your friends have looted that house over there or not. Now they have to mark it on the faction map!

And because the faction map is a separate layer, you don't have to worry about organizing your personal symbols and annotations; the faction layer stays separate!

Thank you to Tyrir for helping me during this modding adventure.
Thank you to the authors of Share Annotations and Share Your Map Symbols. Some of my code would not have existed without their previous work.

How do I use this mod?
It's simple in a multiplayer server:
- Create a faction,
- Invite your friends (optional, this also works if the faction is one man only)
- Open the map and click on the button to show the faction map!
- Start editing your faction map
- Profit!

Hello thank you for the mod. I'm trying to add this to my current MP server with friends but the option doesn't show up. Do I have to recreate the faction first? I do have Extra Map symbols and the UI do I change the order please someone help thank you.

My bad, I had a quick look into the code, and it looks like it *should* be real time.

I can't come up with a solution now as I'm quite busy IRL

So it's not real-time like the mod introduction and video says?? Since there's no red in the mod manager, it doesn't seem to be a mod conflict, and the server is only used by me and my friend...

If I recall correctly, the map synchronizes only AFTER you close the map. Or the server you are using is struggling with the player count or mods

There is a delay in my marking until my friend can see it, so what's the problem?

I'm just here to bump up the idea of compatibility with Map Symbol Size Slider

I think there is a way but it's currently a bit too complicated considering that B42 will change a lot of stuff, I won't be updating untill B42 comes out

Is there a way to ensure that the entries are transmitted immediately and not only when you close the map? As soon as you make entries at the same time, only those whose player closes the map last will be adopted.

Ooooh, I think this issue happens because the server is shutting down withouut saving the moddata. Try turning off the game using the console command in the PZ shell

Hey Mxswat,

we're booting the pz from a podman / docker container - when we're rebooting the server, we simply restart the container. After the restart, the faction and the faction's map content are gone. Do you have any idea? Thank you for your feedback!
