Customizable marker system
Our customizable marker system consists of:
- Frames: The geometric border of a symbol that provides an indication of the standard identity, battle dimension and status of a joint military object. Currently only ground symbols are supported.
- Icons: The innermost part of a symbol that provides a graphic representation of an object.
- Modifiers: A pictorial or alphanumeric component that provides additional information about the icon and are always located inside the frame area.
- Amplifiers: Optional text or graphics that provide additional information about a symbol and are always located outside the frame area. This includes:
- Echelon
- Reinforced or Reduced
- Higher Formation
- Unique Designation
- Additional Information
FAQ
- Q: Does the mod have to be run on the server?
A: Yes - Q: Can we get the option to draw control measure symbols (e.g. the attack arrow)?
A: No. Here's why:- Arma already provides the ability to draw lines, so you can easily make them.
- Creating such a system would be too complex because CMS are very customizable (they can vary in length, width, curvature, etc.). We would need to create a framework similar to 3DEN shapes (I mean the rectangles, etc.) and still add more (you can't curve 3DEN shapes).
- Q: Can I draw markers in the 3DEN editor
A: Yes, standard keybind applies (default: right alt). - Q: Can I draw markers in the mission planning screen?
A: Yes, standard keybind applies (default: SHIFT + LMB) - Q: I can't see markers placed in the 3DEN editor when I'm ingame?
A: The mission needs to be saved for the markers to appear ingame. - Q: Is there an option to change the color scheme of the markers to the Arma vanilla style?
A: Yes! In the CBA Settings you can set Metis Marker to use Arma colors instead of the APP-6(C) colors. - Q: Where can I find more infos about this mod?
A: You can read our Wiki
