[Release] PVP Map Markers

[geekm0nkey 144]

This mod creates a circle marker around all players online that meet the criteria (explained below). The marker radius and refresh time are adjustable. The purpose of this mod is to encourage PVP action on your server especially during low pop times. There is now a config.sqf in the root of the PBO with adjustable options. Here is a list of features.

• Markers only appear when players are actively holding a weapon, not in a territory, not in safe zone and not in a vehicle.
• Markers change color depending upon number of pop tabs on player. Blue = < 10k, Yellow = > 10k and Green = > 50k
• Adjustable markers update timer, default is 5 minutes.
• Adjustable marker radius defaults to 300 meters.
• Adjustable minimum and maximum players online to trigger markers.
• Adjustable marker icon.
• Adjustable marker text.
• Ability to exclude players from being marked.

Happy PVP'ing

SCREENSHOT:
(note this is how i see myself, players do not see player marker inside the circle!)

INSTALLATION: Download the file - pvpmapmarkers.pbo or pvpmapmarkers_dow.pbo (Ducks of War version) [USE ONE OR THE OTHER NOT BOTH!]

Just drop the PBO file into your @ExileServer/addons folder, and your done.. UnPBO the file if you want to make any changes. Config file will be in the root of the PBO folder after it has been uncompressed.

Disclaimer....!!!.... This has been somewhat tested.. There may have been conditions and situations I've overlooked. Anyone care to help be my guest..

SOURCE CODE: ( for those untrusting types... )

UPDATE #1:

• Added some RPT  logging.

UPDATE #2:

• New user markers are created 10 seconds after connection.
• Markers are removed immediately upon disconnect.
• Markers are removed 30 seconds after death.
• Lots of logging to RPT for those who like logs.
• Added config.sqf for user options.
• User customize-able delay and radius for the markers (see config.sqf file)
• User customize-able minimum and maximum player online trigger.

UPDATE #3:

• Adjustable marker icon.
• Adjustable marker text.
• Change math that is used to calculate random placement of marker.
• Added toast messages to let players know when they are marked.

UPDATE #4:

• Added a ducks of war version, changes are... Update marker every 30 seconds, must have a duck on person or in vehicle they are in. Otherwise they will not be marked.
• Goes without saying, you need to have Ducks of War installed and working before this version will work.

UPDATE #5:

• Added ability to exclude players from being marked.

 

FUTURE?

• Someone suggested I modify the code, to create a marker only when you have fired a weapon, and make it last say only for 2.5 minutes, or until you fire again..
• Add code to activate markers only when a minimum and maximum number of players are online. ADDED!

@geekm0nkey Interesting script, will definately give this a shot once I get my PvP server up and running.

[StokesMagee 871]

@geekm0nkey 

try
{
	if (true) throw "to use";
}
catch
{
	diag_log (_exception + " this");
}

 

[geekm0nkey 144]

So, after hours and hours and hours.. I finally have a much more robust version to offer.. See the OP for update details..  And no stokes, didn't convert to Try/Catch as the If/Then seems to work just fine.. Lol.

[geekm0nkey 144]

More updates, OP updated.

[GolovaRaoul 221]

Nice work man! Much appreciated

[geekm0nkey 144]

Ok, so this is pretty much done, no more glitches, seems stable, notifications work (and have limits as to not spam players) Log entries are clean and efficient.  So on to the important question... Is this mod to OP, ESP whatever the kids are saying these days?  I had a few players come on and yesterday and immediately started complaining. So I'm looking for feedback opinions, suggestions to improve...

Thanks.

[geekm0nkey 144]

Added a Ducks or War version. Only players who have killed and collected a duck will be marked as active PVP.

[parsec 23]

Prett ynice idea. This should help on pvp focused low pop servers. Thanks

[aussie battler 282]

Love the script @geekm0nkey reminds me of the Wasteland "High Value Target" script.

I changed it so you have to carry money for it to activate markers:
markers.sqf

Spoiler

                        if (_PlyrMony >= 10000) then { _markerstr setMarkerColor "ColorBlue"; };
                        if (_PlyrMony >= 50000) then { _markerstr setMarkerColor "ColorYellow"; };
                        if (_PlyrMony >= 100000) then { _markerstr setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; };

If I change:
                _PlyrWeap = currentWeapon _y;

to
                _PlyrWeap = primaryWeapon _y;

Will that make it if you are carrying a primary gun the markers activate?
