Personal markers

Post by Vakaris »

Playing PR I've needed a personal maker one too many times, including yesterday when my SL went AFK and I needed to fly a full chopper to three diffrent locations. I had to quit the squad to make my own "Pilot" squad to place my own marker becuase it's too hard to fly and look at the map's grids at the same time.
Here is what I suggest to add:
  • Personal move marker which doesn't replace the already palaced ones by the squadleader/commander (if that issn't possible then a button to toggle the ordinary merker view and the personal marker view)
  • Range coutner (just like the one under the usual markers)
  • Ability to add it with a comm roze and on the squad-map (just like the move marker)
  • Different color so that it wouldn't be mixed up with an other marker
  • A line to the marker from the player's current position on the (mini)map (just like the move marker)
  • Only visible to the player (compeletely client side?)
This would come in handy for grenadiers, snipers, pilots, etc.

Believe been suggested before, most/all things in minimaps are hardcoded. And pilots need to learn to read their terrain, gosh, most basic thing is to fly without markers.

All resuggestions.

From what I read in the previous suggestions, these kind of map changes are hardcoded anyway.

Try the search function. :)

I did, didn't find any posts and manual checks ended up seeing 3 threads in total (not on the subject)...

Next to the 'members list' at the top of this page, you should see another search button. That will allow you to search the entire (limited) PR archive.

Trust us, this topic has been discussed several times and the main response coming back from the devs is that adding markers like your suggestion is not possible due to hardcodedness.

Plus, it's in the *** thread.

That may be a problem, I don't paly *** (*** is an ***), only Insurgency or skirmish.

Old suggestions are put into a archive folder as to not clutter up the suggestion section. This is why we ask people to check A.S.S(Already Suggested Suggestions) and search before suggesting anything. This was listed in A.S.S so even if you didn't find it in a search you should have found it there. Please check A.S.S first in the future along with searching.
