Map Tools

So, in developing procedure to simulate realistic artillery FO and FDC I am realizing how limiting the compass in the map is.

I have a couple questions.

Is it possible to develop say a compass that you can manipulate in the map, by being able to spin it around in the map mode so you can get accurate lines with out having to leave the map and spin your character?

Also I would like to develop a ruler that is able to scale with the map so you can easily measure ranges on the map (for finding grid spaces to call fire on a grid coordinate, or to do polar adjustments as FDC).

Another thing I would like to add is the ability for the ruler to draw lines on the map, so you could draw a OT line or other things needed to help orientate yourself.

if my memory serves me well there was a mod to spin the compas in the map for arma 1 and also there is a script called SPON map which alloed you to draw lines and allsorts on ur map

yey found them

so mabey you might beable to port them over withe the correct permission ofc

unless they work ok now that is.
