Does this addon work with the UnusedAnimations mod? The old NoIdleAnimations mod didn't seem to work with UnusedAnimations (which got rid of that annoying pimp walk where apparently you can hold a 20 lb saw with one hand).

[beazley 34]

Beazley could you remove the red line and coordinates in visual map??

Do you mean the grid lines and numbers from the in-game map? Yeah, they could be removed, but why would you ever want to?

Without looking at their config, I'm going to say yes. Certainly there's no reason why it shouldn't. Most incompatibility between mods is because the addon author redefines lots of things that they don't need to at all; I make sure that I don't. As long as they've not copy-pasted large swathes of the vanilla config and left it as-is, our mods will work fine in conjunction with each other.

I reckon he means the square red mouse cursor on the map, which displays a dynamically updated grid reference as you move it about.

Disabling the grid reference on that would force people to actually read coordinates from the map itself. Perhaps a realism improvement or just a training tool?

I'd upvote that feature.

Ahh, of course, that makes sense.

I'll have a look. I'm not sure how magic things like the constantly updating grids are done.

By the way - nice mod Cyprus. Very good idea.

[BL1P 35]

If your gonna remove the map crosshair grids.

might be worth "thinking" about removing the top bar of the GPS and the vehicle and gun Radar grid ref.

If you are looking at making people actually read and understand where they are :)

[beazley 34]

I'm not sure I even can yet ;)

It does make sense that the GPS tells you where you are; that is the whole point of them after all. They're accurate to what, 5m in real life?

[A.Cyprus 16]

Reading a map grid ref isn't always to find out where you are yourself. You may want to relay coordinates other than your own location for any number of reasons, such as reporting an enemy sighting, calling in CAS or artillery support, designating a safe LZ, waypoint or POI.

The server or mission maker could remove GPS from load outs if they wanted to go that far. I don't see any mileage in stripping the grid ref from that.

By the way - nice mod Cyprus. Very good idea.

Thanks :)

Hi, thanks for the nice mod.

Just the key dont work.

Edit: Key works fine (was my fault);)

Here you go - stops user from getting position from that annoying button. I'm using it for a mod I'm doing but it's cool to share:

class RscControlsGroup;
class RscActiveText;
class RscDisplayMainMap {
access = 1;
class controls {
	class TopRight: RscControlsGroup {
		class controls {
			class ButtonPlayer : RscActiveText {
				onbuttonclick = "((findDisplay 12) displayCtrl 1202) ctrlSetTooltip '..then you would know where you are.'";
				style = 48;
				color[] = {1, 1, 1, 0.7};
				idc = 1202;
				text = "\A3\ui_f\data\igui\cfg\islandmap\iconplayer_ca.paa";
				x = "13.5 * (((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 40)";
				y = "0.2 * ((((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 25)";
				w = "1.1 * (((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 40)";
				h = "1.1 * ((((safezoneW / safezoneH) min 1.2) / 1.2) / 25)";
				colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 0.7};
				colorActive[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
				tooltip = "If only you could move map to player position...";
			};
		};
	};
};
};

I don't think he was talking about the move map to player pos button.

I think he was talking about the map crosshair grid numbers at center of crosshair on map ?

Could be wrong though, Usually am :)

PS. We use this from Larrow to do what your doing above but yours is funnier :)

h = [] spawn 
{
	disableSerialization;
	while {true} do {
		waitUntil { visibleMap };
		_display = uiNamespace getVariable "RSCDiary";
		_ctrl = _display displayCtrl 1202;
		_ctrl ctrlEnable false;
		_ctrl ctrlsettextcolor [0,0,0,0];
		_ctrl ctrlSetTooltip "";
		_ctrl ctrlCommit 0;
		waitUntil { !visibleMap };
	};
};

Correct. Remove the 6 digit grid ref but allow the elevation display. Might have a look at this myself when I have time.

};
};

Oh shit...I remember seeing this button and getting frustrated at it in the alpha, but I'd completely forgotten about it.

I think I'll go for:

class RscDisplayMainMap {
access = 1;
class controls {
	class TopRight : RscControlsGroup {
		class controls {
			delete ButtonPlayer;
		};
	};
};
};

I could then move the other UI elements over so there's not a button-sized blank space, but I'm not sure it's worth it.

No, I don't think the guy was talking about this originally - but it's definitely still a step in the right direction for ArmA.

[das attorney 858]

That's much cleaner than what I put up :)

[beazley 34]

Well feel free to use that if you prefer. I do quite like the sarky button though ;)

[BL1P 35]

I have been looking into something else and I thought that you might be interested in it for Uicorrections.

The problem :-

When all group Icons (the hexagons) are disabled on a server. Some vehicles still show the leader hexagon and distance to Leader under the hexagon when you are driver/pilot.

This happens even when you disable everything in difficulty settings on Elite.

So far my approach has been to remove all group hexagons, which I have done after looking how st_gi worked. but I can't figure out how to remove the distance numbers below the Leader.

I was thinking you might have a more elegant approach than me or know how to remove the distance numbers as well.

Heres the code snippet so far.

class CfgInGameUI {
class Cursor {
	select = "#(argb,1,1,1)color(0,0,0,0)";
	leader = "#(argb,1,1,1)color(0,0,0,0)";
};
};

[beazley 34]

The above is essentially why I'm not sure how to/whether I can get rid of the printed grids by your cursor on the map screen. I have absolutely no idea how ArmA does its constantly-updating text fields like those.

I did start to have a look, but I confess I got distracted by the markers for explosives; I've been meaning for a while to get rid of those, along with the placement sound, the 'minefield' marker on the map when they're placed with Zeus, and an icon on the map whenever someone of your side spots them.

[redarmy 422]

Beazly...

would it be possible in a future update to remove the door open/door symbol icon?

Was in a building yesterday which resembled a dormitory(not sure from what object pack,but arma2) and there was a hallway,at least 10doors about a meter away from each other,the entire time i had that god awful open door message in my face and a symbol of a door pop up every two seconds.

BIS im not blind ok?

The above is essentially why I'm not sure how to/whether I can get rid of the printed grids by your cursor on the map screen. I have absolutely no idea how ArmA does its constantly-updating text fields like those.

They're updated via a "mousemoving" ctrlEventHandler. So in theory, you could redefine that and return true to override the default behaviour.

Edit: looks like you also need to include the below, else the initial grid and contour level gets stuck on the map.

_map = _this select 0;
_text = (ctrlparent _map) displayctrl 1016;
_text ctrlsetfade 0;
_text ctrlenable false;
_text ctrlcommit 0;

Alternatively, you can update your code example above like this:

class RscDisplayMainMap {
   access = 1;
   class controls {
delete CA_MouseOver;
       class TopRight : RscControlsGroup {
           class controls {
               delete ButtonPlayer;
           };
       };
   };
};

Both the above methods would remove both grid and contour figures from the cross hair.

Tired now, so going to bed, but should be able to use the EH to include just the contour level.

Disclaimer: I'm still new to all this, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

Yep you are right. Key works fine.

[beazley 34]

Not sure if that's sarcastic or not, but - using a just downloaded version:

[Muecke 114]

Nope Iam sorry. Was not sarcastic but my fault.

I used the old key before forgot to change it with the new one on the server....

Everything is fine plus thank you for sharing this with us.
