Custom Map Marker Config

[nevbox 15]

I found out how to do this, unfortunately didn't see other addons before hand, but either way thought I'd share.

class CfgMarkers {
class b_unknown;	// External class reference

	class mrk_dickbut : b_unknown {
	name = "dickbut";
	icon = "\NVBX_UI\markers\dickbut.paa";
	shadow = true;
	scope = 1;
	color[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
};


//		class mrk_name : b_unknown { TEMPLATE
//		name = "name";
//		icon = "\.pboname\markers\name.paa";
//		shadow = true;
//		scope = 1;
//		color[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
//	};




};

Markers must be in arma format pixels 2^x and squares are best as rectangles will be shrunk to squares. I haven't tried other file formats, but they may work.

Enjoy.

EDIT: Sample pbo

Scope

scope = 1 usable in editor, not for players ingame

scope = 2 usable in editor and by players ingame

scope = 0 doesn't show up in editor or ingame, usable by editing the mission.sqm and putting the marker class name in.

eg

class Item0

{

position[]={14221.979,35.282413,18921.215};

name="marker";

text="Enemy";

type="mrk_dickbut";

colorName="ColorRed";

angle=-0.40435001;

};

Scope = 0 can cause errors to pop up for users.

Hi Nevbox.

I am very interested in this code here. Could you let me know where you put this packed PBO? And did you sign it?

I have tried using it in the server "Addons" folder. I signed it but it returns a error. \no entry config.bin/cfgMarkers.mrk_Cvehiclestore.paa

Is it best used in the mission PBO? That would be ideal!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks mate.

It's not signed. Should work fine with other addons. The sample .pbo is just to help you make your own. Can't be done in a mission.

Yup, so i have found out that this cannot be done in a mission. I would have to create an addon.

All goods, thanks for the reply mate.
