Job blip notes

  • Zooming in on a job blip on F11 shows the job name.


Factory and job markers

F11 shows named world job markers and factory blips. Use the map filters to show or hide factory markers. Press F11 again to close the map.

Named factory labels

Zoom in to see names beside factory icons. Visible labels include Chemicals Factory, Electronics Factory, Engine Parts Factory, and Nitrous Factory.

Police Chief law blips

Police Chiefs can use /lawblip map to place a blue shield law blip through the F11 map. /lawblip delete removes their law blip.

Player blip colors

Police blips are blue (#1E90FF), Civilians yellow, Criminals red, and Gangsters purple. Wanted Criminal blips are brighter red; wanted Gangster blips are darker purple. A group blip uses that member's job color. See side blips and overhead labels.

Restore the map key

Open /sbinds, find F11 Map Key under Function Keys, and assign F11 or another key. This is the CIT world map bind.

Map image, font and radar controls

Open /settings and go to Interface > RADAR / MINI-MAP / F11 MAP, then use F11 Text Font. A supplied font is gtav.ttf. For another font, place its file in your MTA installation's mods/deathmatch/resources/CITradar/fonts/ folder and enter the filename. Leave the field empty to remove the selected custom font. The default is an empty field.

Radar Image in /settings under Interface > RADAR / MINI-MAP / F11 MAP changes the image used by both the minimap and the F11 map. The default is map-hd.png; map.png is another supplied image. Enter the image filename and press F11 to refresh it.

For a custom image, place it in your MTA installation's mods/deathmatch/resources/CITradar/images/ folder and enter its filename with the extension.

Open /settings and go to Interface > RADAR / MINI-MAP / F11 MAP. Radar Disc selects the minimap border image. Supplied choices include square.png, disc.png, vdisc.png, gdisc.png, and bdisc.png.

For a custom border, place its image in your MTA installation's mods/deathmatch/resources/CITradar/disc/ folder and enter its filename. Leave the field empty to remove the border. The default is an empty field.

Personal, team and group waypoints

Right click the F11 map to add a waypoint your team can see; the F11 help text says To add waypoint visible for your team right click. A normal left click places only your own personal GPS waypoint, which is not shared. Group destinations are a separate system:

  • /mgd, then choose the destination on the F11 map, sets a group destination blip; your group rank needs permission to manage it.
  • /mgd name attaches a destination blip to a group member and follows them as they move. To make yourself the MGD, use /mgd <your nickname>; if you lack the permission, ask an authorized group member to mark your nickname.
  • Groups can create multiple destination blips.
  • /mgd remove <number> removes one numbered blip, and /mgd remove is the basic group marker removal command.
