democore

Yea sure its MP compatible :) Thats the cool thing about it :D ---------- Post added at 19:02 ---------- Previous post was at 18:59 ---------- Yea :) I hope I'll find someone to help me with the design :) Thanks! I will!

Holy sh*t, does that mean you could provide images of the maps in that quality? That would be extremely awesome!!! Nice work man!

Update: Markers are kind of in. Not all of them are implemented and they flicker around a bit, but proof of concept so far :)

Update: I've created a server config. In this config you can now set which units are supposed to be seen by clients on the map. Simply edited by this: MV_ShowWestUnits = true; MV_ShowEastUnits = false; MV_ShowGuerUnits = true; MV_ShowEmptyVehicles = true; Theese values will be changeable in realtime (no need for server/map restart)

No, that would lead to different versions everywhere and since there's also a kind of security issue to this (imagine some troll spawning things like explosions everywhere on your map) that can lead to problems. But you will be able to implement a map on your website via reference (your page implementing the map so its displayed on your website). I hope I didn't upset anyone with this answer, but thats the way it's going to be, sorry :/

Thanks for the detailed responce :) - Yea displaying at least only friendly units will help alot. It means sending way less units to the server making it updating faster and as you said, make the browser shutter less! :) - Im not sure at all how the interface should look like in the end. Having a designer would be totally awesome, since my designing skills are limited to changing a color of a icon in photoshop :D - Sure, messaging between players would be no problem at all, even without connecting the real players with their characters.. I'd love to get voice in there.. may be possible with ts plugin.. but thats just playing with ideas in my mind :) still it's possible somehow I think. - displaying this on tablet should be easy too! :) Will work on that, if all the most important stuff is out of the way. - markers: good idea, will do monday maybe :) - Indeed, the possibilties.. ;) I'm really happy that all of this is possible! :) ---------- Post added at 14:05 ---------- Previous post was at 14:04 ---------- Thanks! :) I will! :)

Well, technically it would be no problem :) It's just a matter of programming theese features. I'm working on a login system, which links you to your ingame player, so theese features would definetly go in the direction I'm making this. Of course server admins will have the abillity to set up settings so each server can decide what to show and what not to show :) Also, Altis will be the next Map I add. :)

From what I expierienced there is none. Really the only ingame lag you get are the times that arma calls the extention. The maximum delay that I had in there is 15ms which is not noticeable :) The the only latency problem atm really is displaying the units fast in the web. Which is not affecting the ingame fps in any way :)

Thanks! :) Yep, I will add that to WIP, good idea! It will also be possible to only (or aswell) show markers. Atm. it's a little bit too slow to really work nicely with fast movers. (because of the huge data mess I'm currently sending) But once I get that problem done I will try to get the update speed down to 1 Second maybe even below that. (currently its around 3-10 seconds)

Sure! I'm already planing to sit down with a guy with knowledge about php/html to ma the page look clean and nice. :) Hehe, yea browser version just was a great idea :)

Browser development continuing here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?178364-Real-time-Browser-Map&p=2699092#post2699092

I just started the web implementation. For more Infos, see my last responce link: www.justdev.de screen: http://i.imgur.com/7bc0GZ6.jpg (195 kB) Hi, this is just supposed to be a little look at what I and 2 friends are currently programming for iPhone and Android. It's an App that connects to a self-made Server running next to your Arma 3 Server. By doing that, it is "connected" to the Arma 3 server and talking to it which means it's technically possible to do everything you can do normally via sqf with your mobile device! :) For the start and to have something to show, we implemented displaying positions, directions, inventory and some other stuff on a map on the mobile device. Here are some screenshots! :) more images Tell us what you think about it. If you have any ideas or criticism, go ahead and say it! :)

UPDATE: Yesterday I made some performance tweaks. Sending infos to the Server now takes less than 0.4ms. Getting the commands that the clients from the browser sent to the server takes about 15ms. So for now, this is okay to me. Once I finish clearing a bug that causes arma to crash, I will release the current version of the mod. Also you can now spawn units and teleport selected units around. For now it will only work on Stratis. Once I find some time to implement more maps, I will do so.

Thanks! :) Yea it would be cool wouldn't it? :D ---------- Post added at 15:44 ---------- Previous post was at 15:44 ---------- Yea sure, that would be no problem to implement!

Arma.exe calls a c++ dll with the callextention function (sqf). c++ dll then calls a C# server. The website now connects via Javascript with the C# server, wich has all the info needed. I'm sure this can be done in such a way that almost does not effect the performance, since arma itself has to do very little. The build that I currently have sends way too much info about uninportant things all the time and I can still play like normal. But I don't know how good it will work with multiplayer servers. I'm guessing that it will just as fine, but I just didn't test it.

Okay, so yesterday I started implementing this into the web, since thats easier to use for everybody. Here's a testlink (works on firefox so far. Also, I'm currently working on it and break it all the time :D) This is the first website I'm building and its really clunky and not smooth at all. So don't expect the holy grail atm. please :D http://justdev.de/ Please tell me what you think about this. Screenshot (195 kB)

People with designing skills (like App icon, Logo, Menu Design) or people with skills in at least one of theese: C++, SQF, C#, PHP, Obj-C

Due to our University stuff, we currelty are all out of time :( If anyone wants to contribute anything to our work, just post here and we will try to involve you! :)

It's not that epic, but the closest thing you can get I guess :)

Thats definitely possible! :) We're sadly almost not familiar with html5 or javascript. If someone with knowledge about webprogramming would like to help us, please contact me! :) If nobody gets in contact with us, we're gonna do it ourselves anyway. :) ---------- Post added at 11:18 ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 ---------- Yep thats possible and already on our TODO list! :) ---------- Post added at 11:31 ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 ---------- It is now possible to create Tasks via the App! (Screenshots added to album)

No, sorry we don't have one here, so we cannot develop for it :/

Added Waypoints! :)

Technically possible :) Awesome Idea! Its on our to do list from now on!

Are you asking if it is going to be open source? Sorry I don't get your question completely :) EDIT: Okay, sorry I get it now :D Yea thats possible. We're thinking about a web implementation. For now it will be for our App only. We're also thinking about releasing the protocol of our server, so you can build your own programs working with it which means, yea, you will be in the future. :)

We would love to implement diplaying the map as SVG (vector graphic) with data from the server. That would mean that we would not need to have each map as image. At the moment we can only display Stratis. We will of course download more images of maps than altis on our first release if we cannot implement getting the map data from the server. Which means Statis, Altis and a3mp maps at least. If anyone has knowledge about how to get map data from the server, it would be more than welcome! :)
