    Ah, this may give you more insight into what the tacticsboard system is:-

    http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?p=1499985#post1499985

    The tool is used to create realtime strategies with your team mates (or yourself of course for single playing)

    The way tacticsboard works is you basically create your own team and you are assigned a secure online tacticsboard where you can apply tactics packs you want to use.

    I hope this helps explain what this is for.

    if not then drop me a not on our site and i'll be happy to give you a run through of how it all works. :-)

    I've posted the release notes in the addons forum here:-

    If you can think of anything we should add to the stratboard then please let us know so we can make this work how you want it to. We'll credit you on our site.

    Hi,

    Weve put the world map onto the demo battlefield 2 tacticsboard for now to see how the realtime engine performes with the large map. (performance is excellent btw)

    The map file is called "[ARMA2] - WorldMap" and is seen under the user maps by click file/load map.

    if u want to check it out, all you have to do is click on the battlefield 2 public board image on the right hand side of our home page. www.tacticsboard.com

    once on there you can play around with the views. (bear in mind the battlefield tactics pack is only a skin for the battlefield game) If this is a goer, then we'll build a front end just for arma.

    similar to this:-

    OF2_Proto1.jpg

    OF2_Proto2.jpg

    OF2_Proto3.jpg

    Other people may be connected to the demo board while your on there so if u see objects being draw then dont worry.

    If you tell us what type of images are beneficial then we'll get them mapped out.

    let me know your thoughts.

    Millzee.

    Thanks sbsmac,

    we can place a map of any size into the app to be roamed around in on the tacticsboard.

    You also have the ability to upload your own images as well. As an example, if u are a team leader and you upload an image onto the your team canvas it is presented on the screen of all your members connected to your tacticsboard in an instance. if you (as the leader) then pan around the map or zoom into the map area then again, that is shown on the screen of everyone else connected to your tacticsboard.

    basically, what you see as a leader the rest of the team see.

    We can create a quick demo tacticsboard for you to play around with if u want?

    re pvp, absolutely. sounds very interesting what you are doing!

    Firstly, thankyou for your response,

    In terms of multiplay. you and your team can stay connected to your tacticsboard for as long as you need to be while you are playing your game. Performance isnt hindered because your only using your web browser. (IE/FF/GC)

    We are also working on a playxpert widget right now to enable the tacticsboard to be viewed in game on an overlay. We've had great feedback from xfire (matt gillman) who is also keeping me posted on xfire's in game browser developments.

    we are releasing a multipage strategy builder into the engine as well, this is in Q&A right now and should be released in the next cpl of weeks all being well. What this does is allow you to build multi page strategies into a single strategy file so you can flick forward and backwards as you advance in the game (or retreat) which is purposely built for OF2. The feature will be available to admin/leaders only so they can stay in contro of the scenario.

    hope this answers your question Freerf.

    Hi everyone,

    we've been getting lots of requests recently over at tacticsboard.com to create an ARMA2 tactics pack to work with our web based solution for the arma2 community.

    i'm just following this up atm, and want to understand if the requests are valid enough for us to spend our time and effort in devoping this.

    Our solution today enables teams/unite/squads (not clans bcos i understand that word is banned here! :) ) to create a secure online team tacticsboard to develop strategies and tactics for use on the battlefield in realtime.

    Its being used very effectively in many games by many many teams across the world right now so i thought our 1st port of call would be to ask the community who play this awesome game properly weather you think its a worthwhile exersize?

    any thoughts would be great.

    thanks for reading this and i hope we can learn from your comments.

    regards
