^{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?
  A: You can read our Wiki
