doveman 7 Posted August 8, 2012 I've searched here and on Google but can't find out an explanation of what these do: Extended HUD info Permanent extended HUD info HUD show group I tried toggling them myself but couldn't determine what they were doing. As the screenshots below show, the mission I was playing had some cool overlays showing the names and specialities but I think they may have been added by the mission as I've never seen them before. I also couldn't get them to work consistently and sometimes got them as well as the green text, sometimes just the green text and sometimes even that wouldn't show. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3531/arma2oa2012080722425162.jpg (320 kB) http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/7775/arma2oa2012080722425982.jpg (297 kB) http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/3862/arma2oa2012080722430164.jpg (256 kB) http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4143/arma2oa2012080722405439.jpg (291 kB) http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/9867/arma2oa2012080722405943.jpg (286 kB) http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9628/arma2oa2012080722410539.jpg (269 kB) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kildar 1 Posted August 8, 2012 I could be wrong, but ext HUD among other things shows your group members locations with the green diamonds, and permanent makes this well...permanent (as opposed to only with command bar open). HUD show group provides the panels of other squad members status (bottom left of your screen), which when off will only appear for the squad leader. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do the "other things" that ext HUD controls include showing the green text over AI when pointing my sights at them? I'm hoping to find a way to show the new text and the green diamonds without the green text as well, although if the green text and diamonds go together I guess if I could have the new text on permanently (when looking at the AI) and the green text and diamonds only appear with the command bar open that would be OK. ---------- Post added at 11:14 ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 ---------- The names and class look like it might be the 3Dcredits function. So would that be something the mission creator's added? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah. Extended HUD info = Seems similar to the Permanent version. It's kinda confusing. :) Permanent extended HUD info = With this on your ammo count appears when you fire. With it off only when you reload. HUD show group = Displays a green > on the sides of a screen when group members are out of view and a green <> around a unit when they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
