|
## Transmitter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Craft a transmitter and place it in the world. Right click on transmitter to open configuration dialog, then set frequency and RDS message.
|
||
|
|
- Empty frequency turns transmitter off.
|
||
|
|
- Transmitter information is displayed as info text when player points at it.
|
||
|
|
- RDS message and frequency can be set via digiline. Also, you can read transmitter configuration via digiline too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Beacon
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Beacon is a simplified transmitter. After placement it automatically tunes on a random unoccupied frequency from predefined range. Beacon frequency range is determined by `beacon_frequency` setting.
|
||
|
|
- Beacon frequency is displayed as info text when player points at it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Receiver
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Handheld receiver is a wielded tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Left click opens configuration dialog to set frequency. Empty string turns receiver off.
|
||
|
|
- Right click toggles reception of RDS messages.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When receiver is tuned to a frequency where at least one transmitter is present, HUD signal meter bar shows signal power. The signal power depends on distance and direction to the transmitter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If RDS reception is toggled on, the RDS messages from all transmitters on this frequency are enqueued and will be send one by one as a chat messages to the player with 10 seconds interval. When RDS message queue becomes empty, it refills and starts over again.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What's next?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Place beacons or transmitters anywhere in the world, give frequency to other players and let them search for them
|
||
|
|
- Pick a frequency which all players can use for their announcements to organize radio bulletin board
|
||
|
|
- Operate your transmitters with digiline to receive notification on radio
