I would suggest trying it in a blank mission. if it works there then its a mod/script incompatibility on your end. if it doesnt work there, let me know.

I placed the [] execVM "scripts\QS_icons.sqf"; higher up in the init.sqf and now it seems to work ok. Great script BTW...much better than having nametags enabled for server. Reminds me of a script I used back in the OFP days (The good old days)) Thanks for your replies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earthnut 0 Posted June 11, 2017 Hey, nice script of course, but somehow it don't get it to work like I need it. It seems like everyone gets everyone to see on the map at any time. I configured the diplomacy as I need it, but it seems not to have any influence. Basically I want Opfor and Blufor not to see each other, but everyone should be able to see independant and civilians. Any idea what I might have gotten wrong? Thanks for the support! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have to pick all the in-script options and parameters you want prior to packing it up though. I have never created an addon version of it for publication for this reason, but it is possible. I dont have arma or arma tools at the moment so cannot help you do this, but im sure you will be able to find the help you need on the forums or in the arma discord.

NemesisRE 27 Posted October 27, 2017 Hey @fn_Quiksilver would it now be possible to include the team colors for own group members from CBA, ACE3 and STUI? We used ACE3 BFT but it still misses an option to show group members only in addition to groups and since I can not find which BFT/FFT @dslyecxi is using your script seems to be the solution, but I would love to have those team colors like in shacktac's BFT. Anyway thanks for your work :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NemesisRE 27 Posted October 27, 2017 I was playing around with different situations now I have some questions: 1. Do you draw the icons in special way on the map? I can't see them with the tao folding map or the MicroDAGR (ACE3), it worked for both with the ACE BFT this is why I ask. I noticed both get the group (but not the unit) icons as long as the full map is open. 2. Is it possible to disallow BFT without a GPS, MicroDAGR (ACE3) or NaviPad (BW Mod), so if you only have a map no BFT and if you loose your GPS no BFT anymore until you get anotherone. 3. Is it intended that a Zeus remote controlled unit does not have the BFT, except for ACE injured only on GPS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTW_Der_Kroi 24 Posted November 30, 2017 Hi fn_Quiksilver, foremost thank you for your script I use it for 2 years on my mission and it is great. But however, I have 2 problems: _ When I host a multiplayer game I can not see myself on the map (but I see myself on the GPS). _ Exactly the same thing if I log on as an admin on my dedicated server, if I logout it back to normal.

Is it intended that a Zeus remote controlled unit does not have the BFT, except for ACE injured only on GPS? 1. (finddisplay 12) displayctrl 51 is the map control used. if microdagr or tao folding map use different control they would not have the BFT. If you have a link where i can review these systems I can see if support is feasible. 2. yes it is possible. not in vanilla script but if you want, i can show you where to insert a couple lines of script to make it behave this way. 3. It should depend what faction the unit is in, and whether "show AI" config is enabled. It does not check AI for remote control state, and it doesnt sort through enemy units for remote-control either. 5 hours ago, MTW_Der_Kroi said: Hi fn_Quiksilver, foremost thank you for your script I use it for 2 years on my mission and it is great.

Are you running a map mod? Can you further describe the situation? I cant quite understand it at the moment. There are 3 main environments in arma: SP, MP hosted (where client is also server), and MP dedicated I'll look into it, we do evaluate for whether player is logged in as admin so I have some ideas of where to start looking. If the GPS is working then the map should be working as well, unless there is some mod conflict or another issue i dont know about yet. im working on another release at the moment so won't be able to actively address the above until probably mid december.

MTW_Der_Kroi 24 Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) I dont use any mod. The first case appears if I create an MP Hosted (where client is also server, NO dedicated server). The second appears when I log admin on the dedicated server of the same mission. In both cases the GPS works but not the map. I hope this can help you, do not hesitate to ask me for details, I do what I can with Google Trad, sorry: / You can test the 2 cases on my mission in my signature.
