Like a "look at the player, see their name and rank above their head" module?

More like "50 meters and you see the names" module

Ah yes... ALiVE has a similar feature although you can select display when < distance or only when looking directly at the player

[x39 101]

As im now at home

i can share the script (no module required) variant with you guys:

spawn
{
   if(!isDedicated && hasInterface && isNil "X39_XLib_ShowFactionNamesAndRank_EH_Draw3D") then
   {
       FONTSIZEBASE = 0.1; 
       X39_XLib_ShowFactionNamesAndRank_VAR_displayColor = [1,1,1,1];

       X39_XLib_ShowFactionNamesAndRank_EH_Draw3D = addMissionEventHandler ["Draw3D", {
           {
               if(side _x == playerSide) then
               {
                   if(!lineIntersects[getPosAsl _x, getPosAsl player, _x, player]) then
                   {
                       _dst = (_x distance player);
                       _size = 1 - (_dst / 100);
                       _pos = position _x;
                       _pos set[2, (_pos select 2) + 2.25];
                       if(_dst < 50) then
                       {
                           drawIcon3D [format["\A3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\Ranks\%1_gs.paa", rank _x], X39_XLib_ShowFactionNamesAndRank_VAR_displayColor, _pos, _size, _size, 0, name _x, 0, FONTSIZEBASE * (_size * 0.5), "PuristaSemibold"];
                       }
                       else
                       {
                           drawIcon3D [format["\A3\Ui_f\data\GUI\Cfg\Ranks\%1_gs.paa", rank _x], X39_XLib_ShowFactionNamesAndRank_VAR_displayColor, _pos, _size, _size, 0, "", 0, 0, "PuristaSemibold"];
                       };
                   };
               };
               false
           }count nearestObjects[position player, ["CAManBase"], 100];
       }];
   };
};

just throw this into the init.sqf and it is doing the trick ^^

to the customization of the module:

yeah ... probably it will also receive a cursorTarget solution ^^

Might be a good idea.. .with ALiVE there has been feedback with regards to this and some players found the floating names annoying and preferred the "only show when looking at player" option.

[Drifter 167]

Hello.

I have been testing this addon on our servers. Also in singleplayer and editor, the addon works fine, no problem. But when we try it on our servers, multiplayer with 2 or more players, the enemies are non-stop spawning in constantly unlike in singleplayer, (the enemies stop spawning when your in the grid or around buildings in singleplayer/editor and when your by your self in multiplayer), even when your right around a corner or in the same compound, and the grid won't turn green, we search for a while around the grid, all enemies are down, but again they respawn instantly in the same buildings over and over, and this only happens when theirs more than 1 person in the area in multiplayer. Not sure if this is a common problem, but I'm sure its a problem on my side, if anyone can help that would be great, I look forward to this addon. If anyone needs a video I can try to record us playing it.

Thanks

Currenlty?

No

but i could extend the module (or to be more precise, add another module) which makes that possible

Wow, this would be great. This feature would give us more individuality for running an Insurgency.

If you need a tester for this feature, i'll do that for you. :cool:

Hi,

That's surely a nice mod, but I must say I can't know it.

Actually, I try to use the XLib + XTactical Hud, but having always the same error at launch :

"Arma 3 include file X39_MS2_Scripting\Functions\HitZones\hitZones.hpp not found"

So, I can't even launch the game with the mods.

Too bad, the TacticalHud seems to be really usefull.

issue located

seems like i forgot to remove some XMS2 artifacts while updating the debug.hpp

im very sorry for the late reply on this issue (fix is currently being built and will be released today!)

I see that you find how to fix the problem I reported.

That I find strange, is that apparently, it happens to me but not specially to others, right ?

Even using the whole library of your mod, that I forget to informed you.

That's great, I'll download again and test this.

Thanks for your work.

as said ^^ it was XTacticalHud which is baerly used

if you spot another bug, simply report it to the forum or (better as i get a mail then and not checking the forum on a that regular base anymore) at the github page of the specific mod (visit https://github.com/X39?tab=repositories for the repositories)

[handsmahoney 10]

I'm having an error now when I try and start ArmA - it's saying "Include file X39_XLib_ModProperties\modPropertiesIncludes.hpp not found"

How do I correct this? I can't launch the game.

download the mod again

X39_XLib_ModProperties is a pbo in XLib

so either your XLib installation is corrupt or you use another mod using XLib as ref. but having an outdated installation

[handsmahoney 10]

Thanks. I completely deleted all my XLib folders and did a fresh install

Been a while but had a chance to play around with this again.. love the Insurgency module stuff. A suggestion - instead of a module to prevent INS objects from spawning in an area have you considered the opposite? A module that spawns INS objects ONLY in that area? I ask because for certain maps it would be easier to whitelist one or two areas instead of blacklisting a bunch.

Thanks again for this great mod!

problem with that idea is how the module has been created in its concept (it scans the ENTIRE map in first place ... so the "add" module can be kinda tricky)

((the funny thing is ... the module was just a "proove of concept" module :F also not many know about it so its kinda "insider" thingy ^^))

it will be rewritten in close future anyway ... tickets for that might be rased after next XMS2 release

[SavageCDN 231]

You're right about not many people knowing about it (compared to say XMS) I'm amazed it's not used a lot in missions.

Another question for you.. I noticed after a few squares spawn in the units seem to move to formation as if they were part of a group (the one I saw had 8-10 members in the group). So units spawn in the buildings but then move out to form up in a wedge behind the leader. It doesn't seem to happen all the time (or at least I haven't noticed if it does). Is this normal behaviour? It seems to me the units should be in 1 man groups instead?

edit: now that I think of it I may have had ASR_AI enabled as well... which might affect the grouping
