Very nice! Can you add an option to disable the gridreference/texture independently atm I can just disable both...

Your are right. -still not fixed inverted y coordinates (like on Chernarus)

Version 0.3 released please inform me about bugs and needed features DOWNLOAD Changelog: 0.3 - fixed inverted y coordinates (like on Chernarus)(Maps using letters in coordinates will not be supported in near future) - fixed offset x/y coordinates (like on Chernarus) - fixed hints were displayed for every player - fixed mortar had multiple times an action attached when reassembled - removed burst modes from artillerycomputer - added support to use observervalues - fixed (hopefully) errormessage concerning serialization - changed gui - added userconfig, module forces settings, userconfig runs clientside and can be different for every client - added small guide to add custom addons yourself - tested a different ui with additional 8 targets (within x meters) but it was much too full Known Issues: - problems with ui sizes - problems when shooting from slope (bug in Arma, not mine) - mission will be dependent on the mod if the missionmaker has the mod activated while creating a mission

Ok, for all addons that are wished: I need classnames of the vehicles that should be supported. Also I need the CfgPatches name of the specific addon. (can be found in editor >> configviewer >> CfgPatches >> search for something looking right) I dont want to download all those mods. RDS Static weapons will definitly NOT supported. In the evening I will do a complete test of the current snapshot and hopefully realease it in the night or tomorrow. BTW: I will add a small guide, what you need to edit to support a specific addonvehicle as long it is configured similar to default artilleryvehicles in arma.

the version does not work... use this one: //============================ 'onPlayerRespawn.sqf' and 'initPlayerLocal.sqf' player setVariable ['QS_seated',FALSE]; //============================ 'sitdown.sqf' /* Script Made By MacRae Modded by [KH]Jman Tweaked by Quiksilver for the addAction shit and MP compatibility */ private ["_chair","_unit"]; _chair = _this select 0; _unit = _this select 1; _chair setVectorUp [0,0,1]; [[_unit,"Crew"],"switchMove",TRUE,FALSE] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; player setVariable ['QS_seated',true]; _unit setPos (getPos _chair); _unit setDir ((getDir _chair) - 180); [[_unit,"Crew"],"switchMove",TRUE,FALSE] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; // again! standup = _unit addaction [ "Stand Up", "scripts\standup.sqf", [], 10, true, true, "", "(player getVariable 'QS_seated')" ]; _unit setPos [getPos _unit select 0, getPos _unit select 1,((getPos _unit select 2) +1)]; //============================ 'standup.sqf' /* Script Made By MacRae Modded by [KH]Jman Tweaked by Quiksilver for MP compatibility */ player setVariable ['QS_seated',false]; [[player,""],"switchMove",TRUE,FALSE] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; player removeAction standup; //============================ On the chair in editor init field this addAction ["Sit Down","sitdown.sqf",[],10,true,true,'',"(!(player getVariable 'QS_seated')) && (abs(speed player) < 1)"];

I am working on it actually. I think there will be a release on ~monday It should run stable in SP

Thanks, will be fixed in next version (hopefully)

Assuming you shoot from a slope != 0° if you change the shooting direction will also change the shootdistance and vice versa I will think about and maybe redo the gui... Sounds like a quick & dirty fix... I will add it if it is possible with addAction, enableSimulation and setVectorUp. Everytime feel free to ask! I will add an optional pbo for custom weapons like rhs M119 27.2. is my last exam and then I will continue to produce code ;)

In my opinion a mortar is controlled by 2 men and therefore I decided by default the gunner should not be able to use it. For people with other opinions I created a module to adjust such settings. I will never ever make it default to have access to artillerycomputer as gunner. As mentioned I am working on a userconfig...

Sure. By default an Asst. Gunner (Mk6) B_support_AMort_F can use the arty computer. Btw you can place a module in the mission (non real time).

Nope sorry. Which weapon/mod you want? Maybe I'll add it. Why the hell you cant place modules in the editor? But I am working on a userconfig. Yes, I will care for other screenresolutions and settings but I can not guarantee it will be good. @all atm I have exams in university. as soon as they are finished I will make a new version.

Thanks!

Can you provide a video? What is a "flickering"? Maybe a script is executed globally (unwanted)?

Ok, you convinced me. Will be implemented. ---------- Post added at 18:36 ---------- Previous post was at 18:31 ---------- Thanks for the bugreport. I know what the problem is but atm no idea how to fix it. Seems to be the y coordinate is inverted... This will cause more problems as thought.
