No Respawn Button & Auto Map Tools

Description
This mod does the following things:

  • disables the respawn button in the pause menu after your first shot

  • automatically adds ACE Maptools to every player as default (needs ACE mod)


*Note this addon will still work without ACE mod, however map tools won't work.

FAQ

Q: why disable the spawn menu?
A: Some of my friends have a playing style that is too 'gamey' - they are more likely to die and respawn than try to avoid being shot. This mod takes away that incentive - so now they have the pain of waiting for incapacitated countdown timer before respawn (or revive).

Q: why after the first shot is fired?
A: this means if you respawn in a bugged or bad place, like inside a rock, you can still respawn again. I figured a good event handler to disable the spawn menu is when the action starts, usually after your first shot.

Q: Why add ACE Maptools automatically?
A: The vanilla compass in Arma is terrible for use on map. It does not scale to zoom so you cannot measure distance, and you cannot use the edge to draw a line. Now we have Ace Maptools by default. Works for any mission, including any in the workshop.

Q: Is ACE mod required?
A: No longer required, however it means only respawn button function will work - the map tools will not.



*update. maptools didnt add for some missions in the workshop, this is fixed now. The tools are added when you first open the map now. .
