Mod name: PDA map with point names - Swamps 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 Swamps 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) - http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh302/LuxZg/map_marsh.jpg

Zoomed in to part of level - http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh302/LuxZg/swamps_zoomed_in.jpg
Minimap shows the markings as well (and you see I'm at the correct spot; 2 pictures) - http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh302/LuxZg/swamps_minimap_2.jpg ; http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh302/LuxZg/swamps_minimap_1.jpg
Maximum zoom-out in PDA, showin parts of all 5 currently made maps - http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh302/LuxZg/5map_overview.jpg

Tested:
Tested in 1.5.05, works fine, and no problems at all.

Future of this mod:
This is probably final Swamps 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 Yantar, than Red Forest after Yantar labs..

Other PDA maps by me:
I am also including overview of all 5 maps that I've made so far: Swamps, Cordon, Garbage, Dark Valley, Agroprom - all v1.1, and you can find them all in STALKER FileFront and GSC Game mod download sections! (it's in 2 parts since I couldn't fit them all in :D ) :

Styles are different, but idea is the same. Ofcourse, you'll probably want to stay with mine to 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 that I've made my own version of Swamps map... Even though he is the one I'm making this Swamps map in the first place :D ;) Cheers man, and thanks for helping me around with Gimping these textures :)

me - ofcourse, for making this map
