More map markers.

Post by Serious_Michael »

/home and /dropcar and /address are useful as they show you on your minimap where something is with a nice red dot.

This should be extended to /mark bank, /mark airport, /mark fishes, /mark pd, /mark pigpen, /mark transfender and maybe /mark families [#] (to show faction's HQ) and so on and so forth, for the major landmarks in Los Santos.

Simply put, if you need to get somewhere quick, the map screen is inefficient.
Maybe you can only mark the bank or whatever if you have an address book.

This would be especially helpful for new people and people who don't really know the map.

By the time you are level 2 or 3 your will have them all memorized anyways, but not a bad idea for the n00bz

Yep, a lot of people ask for locations in /n. Just tell them to look up the map in the Newbie Forum [I think that's where it was..]

But more markers would definitely be helpful [Like Unity Station, Fishing Spot and SANews :bunchies: ]

I kinda like this idea, but dont just make it a command ready for noobs. Make it "gps" that you buy at the store. This will help alot if your a noob. Plus asking directions is really hard at /n especially if your a super noob.

How about an updated map in the Newbie Forum? If you want, I could do it [but let me warn you, my picture editing skills are very basic].

There we go: Looks like shit, but at least it's current. [There's a better looking one in the newbie forum already, but it's from 1786.]

Well, im atleast trying to get out of this rangeban.
How's this sounds:
Your nabo got banned and rangebanned becouse he is a dumb idiot that hacked peoples (John Torino) and this is also a offical Network where everyone can be, which i use. But im rangebanned becouse of my nabo. Thats Awesome! Dont you think?

Maybe if it could be moved to the Newbie Forum Section.

But, on the other hand, the original idea was to add more markers to SZR. Would be pretty useful, since not every Tom, Dick and Harry can be stuffed to visit the forum.
