GetTactical - a tactical-RTS interface
Arma 3 is about freedom and depth
The GetTactical Interface is about taking these to new levels
by enabling you to decide if you want to play:
a full-fledged top-down tactical RTS,
your well-known FPS enhanced,
or the hybrid of the two
all with a single keypress.
FOLLOWING FEATURE IS ALREADY AVAILABLE (post v1.8)
"Not gonna lie. This looks fucking amazing." - MacScottie
"This "GetTactical View" looks like what would be needed to make SP mission were you command a team fun again." - Wiggum
"In other words a game changing enhancement Like ACE was for ARMA 2." - Dr@gon
"Holy crap zapat! This is wonderful mate!...I think I just 'gizzed in my pants'" - Kremator
"such kind of team management should be BI's vanilla IMO. Very promising." - Rydygier
"This seems to be one of the greatest for arma so far!!" - spangg
"Wow, this is awesome, no, it is a true revelation! Very intuitive! " - Brainbug
"This new command system is insanely awesome. Huge props to you man." - froggyluv
"Love this project, Zapat! this solves exactly why I stop playing ARMA..." - Daabear
"GetTactical makes Arma a whole new game for me....a thinking game." - sttosin LIMITATIONS SINGLE PLAYER ONLY! The mod supports 10 units maximum It may or may not work with a specific mission: I can't foretell. (There is witchcraft included in the sripts: you've been warned) It all depends on how [unit switching] and [changing the player unit] is handled in the mission. > The mod disregards unit-switching limitations within the players group. > The mod creates a hidden player unit and attaches it to your last real-player unit when in top-down view. (so you can command all units yet the triggers trigger) These can be enough to break a weaker mission. You shall note this: so you don't come crying. Vehicle handling is still WIP. Infantry works well. REQUIREMENTS The mod requires CBA. TUTORIAL Visit, download and play THE BLACK RAIN PROJECT mission's tutorial. WARNING! Mission itself is broken, but tutorial is fine.
MANUAL A quick-manual for the reader types:
Team Management Layer MANUAL NEW IN V1.8
SETTINGS Your default GetTactical Key is CapsLock.
Press it the first time you enter a mission with this mod. Then you'll have a settings panel to customize your cam-controls, with persistant, global settings.
THANKS To every member of this forums who've been helping me for the past 4 years. Especially:
Rübe (he showed me that the editor is really for sissies only)
KillzoneKid (I'd be nowhere around without his site)
Das Attorney (The helpful smart man)
Larrow (The other helpful smart man)
iceman77 (The father of every UI orphan)
kylania (One more helpful smart man)
demonized (Another)
deadfast (And another)
Kremator (The great admirer of new releases. THE feedback giver) To my family and my two kids who were born in the meantime BIS for making not a game but a canvas you can paint on. Such addon wouldn't be possible in too many games. DOWNLOAD v1.12
Changelog:
