Guest Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Suggestion Name: Map to show where friends are Suggestion Description: There is a map that can be used with the admin panel to see where reports are (saw on clarkinators stream), what if we could have a map similar to that one but one that tells us where our friends are. Any example images: Why should it be added?: It should be added because then we can open the map (in-built into mod) not the SCS one and can see on the map where are friends locations are and can come and surprise them It could update based on how the user wants or it can be constant real-time. For example, every 10 minutes update the map automatically, there could also be an option to manually refresh the map to show where your friends are. If no friends are online it will just say that no friends could be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User_175326 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Looks... The idea seems to be very good, but I think it would even more lagged the multiplayer. Every dlc they put, like accessories for example leaves the multiplayer more lagged, and sure will come many more dlc... And this will delay more multiplayer being already lagged More if the developers think that this will not affect lagging the server, I support this suggestion PT-BR / PT / ESP / ENG *Recent suggestions* Smart GPS: Click Here A more practical report system: Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baymax. Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 There is a map already, the link is ets2map.com But unfortunately, for me this map hasn't worked since the Vive la France DLC, They should put it up again tho, it was really handy.

Mirko9 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Would be easier to send 1 message on steam to your friend ,then like 3 months of developers job to add your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordBenji Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I could see potential abuse for it... I'll say -1 but let me explain why. It could cause more lag for people who has crappy PC/Internet It'll be easier for Mr Creep to follow you regardless if you want it or not It might be a source of distraction when driving, hence potentially causing a wreck when used inappropriately I just don't feel it would fit in, but that's just me.

And should a function give to see only hisfriends. It is very helpful for the virtual forwardingagencies, one always has to do questionswhere the people are z. b.

fidget3306 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 It will create more lag, also if you are friends on steam they will appear a different colour. If they are further away you could just ask, but from my experience if I am playing with friends we drive together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 For that purpose, the ets2map can be used. It is not really hard to find out where your friends are and unlike the reports, there are only a few friends. Not the entire server population is on your friend's list and should that be the case, you will have to ask yourself whether they are really true friends. Rejected.
