Arma 3: Sweet markers system. WIP

[swatsteam 15]

This system fully changes the BIS's marker system.

Features:

1) Simple and easy-to-use interface, which is also fully customizable.
2) All changes are saved in your profile.
3) All interface elements are clickable and have hotkeys if needed.
4) Easy change of type, colour, direction, size and channel of the marker.
5) Ability to quickly place markers without opening/closing interface.
6) Ability to save markers placed on the map and load them in other missions.
7) Automatic route drawing. (Wip)
8) Ability to enable/disable some functions of this add-on in map maker settings.
9) Unique maps module: each unit has its own map with specific markers placed. A unit can pick up a dropped map and see the markers of the map owner, but they are not updating. (Wip)

More information - soon.

The APP-6 symbols are not correct, you cannot have OPFOR shaped icons in blue as that would compromise its "side".

SgtH3nry3, Did you watch the video? This addon not adding markers or colors. It's UI+ system like bis, but without some bugs.

I did, maybe this interface then exposes a flaw in the vanilla setup because I don't remember being able to use incorrect APP-6 symbols in vanilla ArmA 3 before.

[swatsteam 15]

In vanilla (and also in my addon) you can changing color for ALL (including APP-6) markers with shift+up arrow. If needed, I can make modul "Force real color for APP-6"

Wow, that looks great. The current marker system is ridiculously barebones and frustrating to use when you want more than a bunch of dots. Nice work!

[Kushluk 21]

This looks really great! I have two questions:

1) How robust is it in regards to multiplayer and JIP? What happens when 50% of a server do not use this mod whilst the other 50% do?

2) Are the keybinding going to be customisable?

1) It's works with JIP, and also with respawn, but in multiplayer some functions avaliable only to group leaders. I will be testing this with over 100 players on dedicated server. If server have this mod, all users should have mod too, but I will check this.

2) Not yet, but all elements clickable.

Nice work. Been looking at making something like this in the past.

[Colossus 2]

This is really cool, would have loved to see something like this outside the mission editor of any ArmA game. Especially rotating markers and having a quickbar for markers. :)

[gac_guardian 10]

Actually using dots is the frustrating one because it's all the way down the list!

You probably haven't used markers for a while because dot is the first one now.

How soon can we expect a public release?

How soon can we expect a public release?

Week or mb few weeks. I'm testing addon now.

[bad benson 1733]

this, as the title suggests, is indeed very sweet. it's on of those addons that make you want BI just take it and stuff it right into the game as is. keep it up man. we need more people improving the clunky ass UI.

[keeway 287]

Would like to see whole APP-6 in game :)

[tupolov 520]

Congrats on the mod! We have a similar system in ALiVE mod, supports map draw, persistence, customization of markers, add SPOTREPs, place markers with key press etc.

Great idea/implementation however the mod crashes Arma constantly. If I push ESC/ENTER Arma crashes 100% of the time. I'm playing on a public dedicated server.

Send me your RPT file, please.

Send me your RPT file, please.

Ok I'll get you the reports.

[XianGrim 73]

My group all installed your mod and when we tried using it, the markers disappear after hitting Enter to place them. Worked fine in the editor/SP but when we tried using it on our Dedicated, nothing appears.

XianGriM, send me server and client RPT, please
