Hello Guys,

I would like to know if it is possible to block mod on a dedicated server. If you know how to do it, please let me know. Personally, I like this mod, and we use it a lot, but every once in a while we would like to cut it but some of our members are trying to cheat us and for the moment we have not found a solution.

I'm searching the same solution for another client-side mod (because they switch)...
Btw Keep working on it !!
 

Best Regards

For DUI, you can add the cba settings to disable its features inside the mission. Then just set it for the mission to overwrite the settings of the clients.

What are the pros and cons, comparing to sthud?

I see that you can choose how compass looks like, and that is all the difference? Or I missed something?

Essentially, there are no cons as STHud has stopped development and refer to DUI Squad Radar as a replacement. 

So you're only shooting yourself in the foot by sticking with STHud.

A slightly more detailed answer is: DUI seems to have fixed a lot of smaller issues from STHud, has the same features as STHud and more to boot, and is highly customisable compared to STHud.

This is one of those mods you have to just get in and play with. There are different compass styles, font sizes for names, whether or not you want the names, the options goes on and on.

 

Just as @klima said, DUI is supported, STHud isn't any longer. Supposedly DUI has less impact on performance, so there's another plus. As Arma players, we all come across mod that we feel should be part of the vanilla game, DUI is one of those.

Hey everyone,

 

As Arma 3 2.04 just dropped it also added sqf byte code support. That means the sqf code can be packaged precompiled into the mod.

Well that sounds alright so far but why do we want that anyways? It also means the code itself can run a little faster. In general a boost in ~10% performance can be expected. 10% does not sound much, but as DUI has components that run every frame, that is kind of a huge deal.

 

SQF bytecode is still pretty "new" (testing was already done last Arma 3 version on the profiling branch), so I am cautious to just throw the update directly to the stable branch. So I am running small RC for DUI version 1.9.2.

 

Downloads are here, as usual the mod is signed with the same key, so you can join any server that allows that key and is not running DUI itself (pbo file hashes are also checked to ensure same version):

Not sure what this has to do with DUI, the CBA setting for this should be "ace_nametags_showPlayerRanks = true;"

 

Icon gets retrieved here:

Apologies for the delay. Seems like people created pull requests for features, fixes and translations. For this I will post a second release candidate. This time with those changes + sqf bytecode support. Another reason for a second RC is simply recompilation with latest fixes from the sqf script compiler.

 

DUI - Squad Radar 1.9.2 RC 2

 

Changelog:

Added:
General - SQF Bytecode support
Radar - Added setting to change priority for icons (#191) by @johnb432
Radar - Add an option to show bearing only if the player has a GPS (#186) by @Malbryn

Fixed:
Nametags - Fixed nametag display inconsistency (#190) by @derbismarck

Translations:
Japanese translations (#187) by @classicarma

Clarification for "Fixed nametag display inconsistency":
Whenever the user looked a unit, and their "cursor" was over a weapon no nametag was shown. This is now fixed in an MP environment, this fix sadly does not work in SP.

There is basically fuck all.

Arma tools Bisign has support for it as well now. HEMTT does not atm.

I dont want to spam your modpage with this but do you know the benefits of it or what did you observe in your mod after switching to it? Gives better FPS?

In general, each script has roughly 10% faster run time. If you use a lot of "params" it helps even more. It basically is "free performance" if your mod has to run each frame. If your mod is just running a script each few seconds then the run time benefit is not as much in the grand scheme of things.

Hey diwako

 

we are experiencing an odd issue.

 

After some point everyone in a group has "Error: No Vehicle" on the names list and we don't see anyone in gps any more.

It seems to happen when people re-spawn, then it starts to bug out.

We are using Base respawn with a timer, CBA, ACE, CUP / RHS plus F3 type of system to re-equip loadouts on respawn.

It is an issue I have seen many report but I have yet to figure out what causes this. In my unit I do not have the issue throughout many different mission makers.

 

So can you answer me a few questions?

Do you have DUI running on server?
Which namelist sorting mode are you using?

when it happens can you exec this ON THE PLAYERS MACHINE and tell me what it returns?

[(group player) getVariable ["diwako_dui_radar_syncGroup", "nothing"], units player]

DUI is running in normal mod string on server

 

Our setting is "force diwako_dui_radar_sortType = "none";"

IDK if it plays any role but we set "all" settings for DUI. CBA settings are basically just an export of one guy clicking everything together how they think it's best, many settings are default it seems, few have been changed.

 

// DUI - Squad Radar - Indicators
// DUI - Squad Radar - Main
// DUI - Squad Radar - Nametags
// DUI - Squad Radar - Radar

 

If it happens again - it happens almost every time we play, we'll try to get hold of that variable for you.

DUI has 2 modes. First and default is it will auto calculate where to put things. Second is use with conjunction of the Arma3 layout editor.

 

If you wish to use a custom position, first go into the Addon Options (you may need to load into the editor for this), go to the DUI Squad Radar - Radar drop down and check the checkbox called "Use A3 Layout Editor Position".

Now you can open Arma's regular options menu. There you can use the UI editor to either resize or put UI elements where ever you want. Once you have done that, restart the mission and it should apply.
