mk4_hud_info - mikey - 01-08-2012
This addon does numerous things:
- Show unit's number and name for people in your group above their head
- Shows the group's name and person's name if you're looking at someone who's not in your group
- Shows who is sitting where in your vehicle
- Shows who is entering or leaving your vehicle
The addon is feature complete, but still in beta. Known issues are:
- The team colors can be a bit too bright. I need input on the colors or even your preferred color codes.
- The name tags tend to move around a bit when the vehicle you're in banks or pitches alot.

Re: mk4_hud_info - mikey - 01-08-2012
Hey stoops. Do it like how kenwort says. Also since you used a earlier version of this addon, you no longer need the mk4_hud_core addon for this to work.

I remember now, I think I have to use IE instead of Firefox since there is no Save As when I right click it currently
Re: mk4_hud_info - Rund - 01-21-2012
I'm using this now and I love it. However, I use it in combination with Blakes PRadar (see other thread here), because he has the awesome name-under-commandbar thingies. However I like the nametags above the players of this addon much more (and they dont go trough walls like blake's do).
So my question is: can you somewhat steal blake's idea (ask him nicely maybe or even collaborate
) and put the names under the command bar too (and only when the player is leader of a group)? Then we would have the perfect all-in-one hud mod!
Re: mk4_hud_info - mikey - 01-21-2012
Well, I was already kinda planning on removing the existing "leader HUD" in arma, and make my own. It would look quite similar to shacktac's ft_hud group list, but just more useful and it would show the selected units as well. Unfortunately I got kinda sidetracked by other addons, like the teamcolors thing and map drawing, but I'll put the list addon on a bit of a higher priority since people do keep asking for itÂ
mk4_hud_info - Variable - 01-21-2012
I'm in support of rund's request!
Are you planning to release that briefing map drawing tool?
Re: mk4_hud_info - Variable - 03-12-2012
Addon released front page on Armaholic!
Re: mk4_hud_info - Rund - 03-12-2012
Is this an updated version, or just an announcement of the old one?

Re: mk4_hud_info - wolfenswan - 03-17-2012
could you add a check to the addon to disable it in adversarials (as for example instantviewdistance does)?
Re: mk4_hud_info - mikey - 03-17-2012
You mean a global variable so you can disable the addon? (I'm not familiar with instant VD)
I can do that, I was planning on polishing a few things anyway in this addon.
Re: mk4_hud_info - wolfenswan - 03-17-2012
as far as I know IVD checks for the variable gameType that's set at the beginning of the description.ext and disables itself if it's anything besides COOP.

Re: mk4_hud_info - mikey - 03-18-2012
But why would you want to prevent the usage of the addon during a pvp? Afaik the addon does make sure to not show a tag or vehicle info when you look at an unfriendly object :
Code:
if ( ((side player) getFriend (side cursorTarget)) > 0.6 ) thenTbh I'd hate it if I couldn't use my addon in non-coops, but if you can show me a good reason for it then I'll consider it. If however you want to disable the addon on a per mission basis, then here is a way how to:
Code:
mk4_HUD_fDrawTags = {false};Put that in your init.sqf and it should break my addon.
