Requires the latest version of CBA A3.
**Metis Marker** brings you the opportunity to create NATO joint military symbols according to *APP-6(E)*. It allows to build symbols from components, including frame, icon, first modifier, second modifier and amplifiers, rather than pre-define all possible symbols. ## Features: - Full customizable marker - Moveable marker - Editable/non-editable marker - Copy & paste marker - Save & load marker presets - Build in preview - Full 3DEN support - Full Briefing support - Communication channel support e.g. Global, Side or Group channel ## 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 - Date-Time Group (DTG) - Operational Condition - Direction of Movement Arrow - Headquarters Staff Indicator ## 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: 1. Arma already provides the ability to draw lines, so you can easily make them. 2. 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 colors. - Q: Where can I find more infos about this mod?
