drill 1 Posted October 19, 2014 Hello. After publication of "Sweet markers system" by swatSTEAM, I decided to publish my old markers system too. //////////////////////////////////////// // DMap_Adv_Markers v5 URL for downloading 5th version of the addon: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fc6556murplsld7/dmap_adv_markers_v5.zip?dl=0 //////////////////////////////////////// // General description This addon provides enhancements for the ArmA markers system for multiplayer. Main advantages are: Markers type/color are stored between inserting - no need to set it every time new marker is placed. Added new "marker" type in form of jugged lines. Ability to assign hotkeys for marker type and color change, hotkey to send marker to particular channel (through userconfig). Ability to show/hide channel and creator of existing markers. //////////////////////////////////////// // Installation The dmap_adv_markers.pbo should be placed in appropriate addons directory. Userconfig file "config.txt" must be placed in directory: "<ArmA installation directory>\userconfig\DMapAdvMarkers" Userconfig is cheat-free because it's handled by the addon as a plain-text, not executed. The addon must be activate both on server and on clients. //////////////////////////////////////// // Usage description The addon mimics default ArmA behavior where it's possible. To add jugged-line marker the one should press Ctrl key and left-click by mouse somewhere on the map. That would start the process of placing the jugged-line marker. The next segments of the marker then could be placed by just left-clicks of mouse. The last segment could be removed by pressing Backspace key, the whole process could be canceled by pressing Escape key. Left/right cursor keys change the color of the marker, Up/down - its thickness. After all needed segments are placed, Enter key must be pressed to confirm the marker creation and sending it to the current chat channel. The addon provides the possibility to use hotkeys for switching color and type of markers (both ordinary and jugged-line markers). The hotkeys are assigned through userconfig file: "<ArmA installation directory>\userconfig\DMapAdvMarkers\config.txt" The description of the config format is provided as comments in file itself. The default config is: Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2, ..., Ctrl-0 set color of marker. Ctrl-Q, ..., Ctrl-T, Ctrl-A, ..., Ctrl-G, Ctrl-Z, ..., Ctrl-B set type of marker. [*]The marker types available in-game and their order could be set through userconfig by command markerslist. The default config enables 16 standard marker types. [*]The colors of marker available in-game and their order could be set through userconfig by command colorslist. [*]Pressing Alt key on map temporary shows/hides channel of existing markers on the map and/or their creators' nicknames. The actual behavior could be changed through "Options" entry in notes list. The behavior then stored in user profile namespace. [*]The addon provieds the possibility to user hotkeys for sending the marker to a particular chat channel. The actual hotkeys are configurated in user config. Default combinations are: Ctrl-L - send to vehicle channel Ctrl-; - send to group channel Ctrl-' - send to side channel Unfortunately, the addon doesn't support the loading of saved game at the moment, thus has limited support of single player game mode.
