voiper 18 Posted March 15, 2015 Hi, I'm getting two weird white lines on the map, is it normal or it's just me?http://i.imgur.com/nXblepg.jpg Same problem here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/c2l5hxmlunthey7/2015-03-15_00001.jpg?dl=0 Definitely not intended.

subroc 4 Posted March 15, 2015 A feature request: Should be possible to add a small lightsource attached to the player when flashlight is used on map, this would make it possible for other units to detect him this could really be usefull in pvp to force people to conform to strict sound/light usage Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrSanchez 243 Posted March 15, 2015 A feature request: Should be possible to add a small lightsource attached to the player when flashlight is used on map, this would make it possible for other units to detect himthis could really be usefull in pvp to force people to conform to strict sound/light usage While reading through the page once again I had this exact same idea, and also I remembered that this already exists in ArmA 2 ACE, afaik. Although in real life you can cover yourself with a blanket or a rain coat, w/e, when checking a map/orders and since I have no idea how one would simulate that into ArmA 3, the best thing to do in case this feature gets implemented would be making this feature modular (changing a single variable for instance). Personally I like the map flashlight feature a lot but a lightsource when using the map appeals less to me, for reasons such as the blanket-example mentioned above. Toggle-able/modular things are always great though. Also, I know that this script is advertised with no addons required, but any way to place this into an addon? I'd love to add it to my group's mod collection. Kind regards, Sanchez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
subroc 4 Posted March 15, 2015 Although in real life you can cover yourself with a blanket or a rain coat, w/e, when checking a map/orders true, this might be more suitable in an addon, ie have objects "raincoat" in inventory, no light will be produced...

BryanBoru 10 Posted March 16, 2015 1680*1050 1920*1080 here and I have the same thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rxnxr23 10 Posted March 16, 2015 nice job. reminds me of the features in SLX for arma 2 i think it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Von Quest 1161 Posted March 16, 2015 Same problem with those lines. (in v1.0 anyway, guessing v1.1 is same though, not dl'd yet) Mine: 1920x1080 Its the whole screen resolution thing. SafeZone stuff, which drives me mad as well. Ugh! I ended up changing one value to get those lines to be minimal. No biggie. But it would really be great to get that fixed. What if you just used a single large .paa image instead of the tiles & code? Anyway, great work man! Going to dl when I get home and check out the new Red Light option. Yah!

zapat 56 Posted March 16, 2015 One more tweaking advice: I guess the moonintensity * 0.4 is too much. I don't think you can read a map this well even on a bright fullmoon night. I put 0.1 there for myself. 1680*1050 and getting the white line as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voiper 18 Posted March 16, 2015 Re: White/black lines: It's related to how to the engine calculates the 2D viewport size (if either of the dimensions are not round numbers, you get problems). Hold tight. I'm working on the solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

katipo66 94 Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) Hi Voiper, sorry wrong name :o What do you think about an option for automating the light once map is opened, I was thinking some people who download missions using this may not understand what's going when opening the map. Also I like the NVG effect but feel the white noise becomes a little irritating or doesn't feel 'natural', as if I know ive never worn any! but is it possible to add like a 50% alpha transparency too it so it's more subtle? Anyway great work, and the map light at least is one of those mods that could be added to the default game imo.

Hold tight. I'm working on the solution. Fixed for next update (release will come soon... promise). i.imgur. com/ PlY8mYq. png (remove spaces :/)Yeah I dont know what to do.... It's caused by the map you're playing on ("mapSize" not defined in cfgWorlds). Which map is it? If you find a map that the flashlight does not work on, let me know, and I will include a support fix for it in a future update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BryanBoru 10 Posted March 19, 2015 This might be obvious to most, but how would one use the input array to modify the useage? I really wish the Respawn parameter was just left off, most of us cover that part of things when we create missions in the first place. My whining aside, this is a great mission side script, good job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My whining aside, this is a great mission side script, good job. When exec'ing vip_lit_init.sqf: 0: Bool (optional); whether player can respawn during mission; default false (it's a good idea to set this to false if you use a spectator script).

Example (leaving the other parameters default): [0] execVM "vip_lit\vip_lit_init.sqf"; Thank you for your answer, but I want to clarify to avoid confusion (and anyone else's).. As often as I have dealt with arrays, I've never used them in a case like this,.. So using your example, I would assume this: [0,1,0,1,] execVM "vip_lit\vip_lit_init.sqf"; Means: No Respawn, Hide the "show player Button", Keep the texture button, large Flashlight size.. correct? BTW, I got to watch the new video, the glowstick effect is impressive, really great work! Means: Can not respawn, remove "show player on map" button, Keep texture Button on map, Large Flashlight size, and the rest as default.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Means: Can not respawn, remove "show player on map" button, Keep texture Button on map, Large Flashlight size, and the rest as default.... I misspoke (derp). Most of the elements are boolean (true/false). The fourth element of the array must be itself an array (first element being whether to have a flashlight, second being which size). Also, it's a good idea to avoid trailing commas. So for your example you need to use: [false,true,false,[true,1]] execVM "vip_lit\vip_lit_init.sqf"; Edited March 20, 2015 by voiper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really wish the Respawn parameter was just left off, most of us cover that part of things when we create missions in the first place. My whining aside, this is a great mission side script, good job. Am I correct in saying that the Respawn parameter just stops people from using the respawn button when they press Esc. It dose not affect respawn = 3 or any other respawn type? 1.2 Thank you!!!!!!!!! Some of our guys were asking if it would be possible to make it so when you use the map light, it illuminates the player slightly with a red glow.
