I've been working on this today and figgured I'd post my progress. The goal is to create a map that all the members of a clan can log in to (via password and server name) and it will be a consolidated tool the clan can use in real time. Currently: Can zoom and move map. Can place pins. Movable tools (top bar lets you drag them). Can connect with friends online and edit a map together. when not online you can save pins and should be able to load them after restarting the program. Goals: delete pins. Add more placeable icons (camping tent, chopper crash site, vehicles). Better Resolution map (use vector mapping). Display gps coords when hovering over a pin. Better Network Support (passwords, whitelist icon placers, etc). Android Support (would require unity pro). ability to save network map. Pen Tool. https://dl.dropboxus...an Map Beta.zip (as is, it's semi use-able) feel free to mirror. also, would rather wait on a mod to say if its alright to put a tipjar on this forum? (money would go towards hopefully getting unity pro or to commision somone to draw icons). Screenshot

would love to see it as a feature in standalone along with a group system. Heh heh.

either way, with starting from 'scratch' like this I get to build it the way it needs to be and through unity I can get a way to post a to a masterserver without having to host one myself.

you make a good point, I'll upload a screenshot to the original post in an edit. also, I hope to add a feature to let people upload their own images/maps to the program so it could be useful for other mod variants and possibly even other games. So strictly working in SQF is not an option (and I'm pretty sure running a SQF script ingame and in DayZ would get you banned by BattleEye as it would look like the ESP map hacks).

would still work for the lone wolf but only as a tool to store the locations of things you have found.

exactly, its meant to be a tool, not a cheat. I imagine servers might host a password-less map and allow anyone to put pins on it but that would be pretty much the same thing as the in-game map.

no, it strictly only shows information that players enter into it.

No.
