How to Make personal map notes

[Dustfallen 2]

Ok, so this came up between myself and the guy I play with last night. He is a veteran of ARMA 2 itself, and I had mentioned I wished there was a way to make map notes for myself, and he told me there was.

If you switch to the vehicle chat channel, and you are not currently in a vehicle, the map notes you make will be visible to yourself only. It seems to be a coding thing within ARMA 2 itself.

But in any case, for all of you others out there that wished they could keep notes for yourself, now you can.

is this for real or some trap or sumthing???

No it's for real. I was glad to learn it, and figured I would share is all.

Also having it in group chat before placing markers should also work. Seeing as there are no groups.

Wow nice tips, thanks.

Thanks for the tip. Now we just need the map notes stik to the map itself; so if you loose it, the finder will be able to read it.

OK Dust, thanks for sharing :D

Not sure if you're trolling or not. But everyone in the server is in one big group. You'd be broadcasting to everyone all your secrets and loot points if you did that. :P

You can also change the shape with the up and down Arrow keys and the color with Shift + up and down.
