Simple Radiation
This mod adds radiated areas similar to toxic zones introduced with DayZ 1.14. The complexity of this mod is held on the same level as the toxic zones and can easily be integrated in any server.
The added gasmask and filter are cross compatible with vanilla gasmasks and filters! The Geiger counter requires a 9V battery for operation! Some Geiger counter can be attached to the canteen slot on the civilian and military belt or radio slot.!
Detecting radiation
Radiation is invisible. So are the radiated areas. You wont notice if you are entering a radiated area until you are getting sick from the radiation exposure within the zones. In order to detect radiation you should keep the geiger counter with you and turned on at all times. The needle will start to move and it will emit clicking noise when it detects radiation.
Radiation protection
In order to be fully protected against radiation you need the exact same setup required for toxic zones. This means entering a radiated area is only completely safe if you wear a full NBC outfit with a gasmask + filter. For each missing piece the accumulation of radiation will be faster - with the gasmask + filter missing being the worst.
Radiation poison
Radiation poison has two stages. (Indicated with the sickness notifier same as other diseases)
Stage1: Low radiation poisoning. Coughing blood, light groaning and general exhaustion. Stage2: High radiation poisoning. Fever, Puking and Bleeds. (In addition to Stage1)
Radiation poison can be treated using Potassium. The higher the poisoning the more pills it requires and the longer it takes to fully cure the poisoning. Only take one pill at a time. Taking to many will cause puking and negating the effect of the pills! (Radiation poisoning also decays very slowly over time)
Gasmask hotkey
If you put your gasmask on one of the quickbar slots you can put it on/take it off by holding the according quickbar key.

For server owners
Install this mod as any other mod. No additional steps and or serversided mod needed!
Enableing even simpler radiation
Even simpler radiation (that only requires a working gasmask for full protection) can be enabled throug a config option added to your serverDZ.cfg:
srMaskOnly = 1;
Adding a radiation zone to your server
Adding radiation zones to your server is a simple as adding toxic zones to your server introduced with DayZ 1.14. The zones are added and controlled using cfgEffectArea.json in your mission folder. It is the exact same file that is used for the toxic zones!
The following template can be used to add a static radiation zone to your server: (For now only static zones are supported!)
{
"AreaName": "Radiation Zone XYZ",
"Type": "SR_RadiationContaminatedArea_Static",
"TriggerType": "SR_RadiationContaminatedTrigger",
"Data": {
"Pos": [ 13920, 0, 11170 ],
"Radius": 60,
"PosHeight": 20,
"NegHeight": 3,
"InnerPartDist": 100,
"OuterOffset": 20,
"ParticleName": "graphics/particles/contaminated_area_gas_bigass" <-- this is ignored anyways
},
"PlayerData": {
"AroundPartName": "graphics/particles/contaminated_area_gas_around", <-- this is ignored anyways
"TinyPartName": "graphics/particles/contaminated_area_gas_around_tiny", <.-- this is ignored anyways
"PPERequesterType": "PPERequester_RadiationContaminated"
}
}
Adjust Pos, Radius, PosHeight and NegHeight to match the location your server!
