Hello guys,

First of all, happy new year to everyone! It's been a while since my last update in mid December, missed my goal of releasing the new version in December.

I'll give the why for being transparent:

- 23rd december, I had a heart problem, huge pain, shortness of breath - Lot of medical appointments in January (Still some this month) - Since mid-January, I've also been in the process of moving house, which will arrive on the 22nd of this month

It's been pretty hard for me to make time for modding again with recent events, and I'm also very tired from it all on top of my work on the side.

I'd like to share at least some of what's been done, I'd like to show something other than models... Aside from that, I've started writing the mod's appearance with the idea of making it agnostic enough to be modified by other modders.

To the next one, see you!

Mod description

PartyMe is a mod that allows you to have a group with your friends. In the game as is, you don't have the possibility to know exactly where your friends are, or see their health.

With this mod, you'll be able to see your friends health, but you'll also have an icon that follows your friend telling you the distance between you and them. This mod aims to facilitate communication between friends, and not to spend hours looking for your friend who doesn't know the names of the cities!

For opening party manager press P

Credits:

Thank's for OP, Not A Banana and Axelander for testing the mod with me ! Huge thank's to Rak for helping me to sign files correctly. Also a big thank's for creators of RPCFramwork, life is easier with that.

Donations:

I develop this Mod in my free time, I create the content for myself, but also to produce content that would please the community! I was asked why I didn't have a donation section, so why not create it, if you want to help me buy in my external purchases of everyday life it would be appreciated! Make a donation here! Thank's for supporting me guys and using my mod!

Repack and others:

You are authorized to repack the mod. But, I like you to read my opinion on it. Also, if you repack, quote me, or at least the steam page of the mod.

Repacking mods will not improve your server's performance; using the excuse that it will reduce the number of mod names is slightly stupid.

Server hosts can create groups of mods to overcome this problem, or clients using the official or unofficial DayZ launcher can download mods before entering a server.

Concerning people wishing to make changes to the mod, if you only want to change a few values, I advise you to make a mod that mod PartyMe. You can find more details on the official DayZ wiki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/DayZ:Enforce_Script_Syntax#Modding

The main advantage, is that you change only what you need, instead of having all the code, rework a code, even a few lines, if you don't know where you are you can quickly get lost. Especially in the current mod code which is not documented.

That's all I have to say, having a little credit if you do repacking or modification will be a great pleasure!

Have a good time!
