Metis Marker

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.

• 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

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

Our documentation is available on the Github wiki[github.com]

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:
i: Arma already provides the ability to draw lines, so you can easily make them.
ii: 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: Where can I find more infos about this mod?
A: You can read our Wiki[github.com]

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.
