Editor Markers in-game

[f2f_bho 10]

Okay been wondering about this for awhile, But how would one make better or add to the in game marker system, the finger paint style makers do the job , but i feel are not as in depth as they could be as far as map markups go.... what i need answered:

1). do i need BIS's permission to try and do this?

2). What PBO(s) do i need to locate and open?

i have seen Some mods that have editor placable markers, i do not want to do that. I want to be able to place and erase as the mission changes, with better markers than those already present.

I'm kinda confused about what you really want. You don't want editor markers, but you do???

Have you checked out Vking's APP-6A (NATO) Unit Markers?

here is an image of what i am looking to do , But in MP, in game editing(NOT) mission editing in the editor. there is a difference , i want real time mission map mark up with a better array of symbols.

This would further build upon unit control while in multi player- and organized CooP missions such as Insurgency , DOM and specialized squad missions

Gotcha, you're referring to what's posted in this thread:

Map overlays -couple of different links in there

Only one I remember was SPON Map, but I don't believe it was ever updated for ARMA 2

does this still work in Arma2 ? http://forums.unitedoperations.net/index.php/topic/8335-the-overlay-maker/page__view__findpost__p__110695

Those programs are very intresting, they do exactly what we are looking for.... if anyone has contact with spooner still i would like to speak with him or someone on that team on a port over from Arma to A2/OA.
