Possible to use Shacktac's fireteam hud?

My friends and I would like to use this mod to keep better track of each other while we slink around the countryside, but I'm not too familiar with how mods work. Would we be able to just install it and use it, would it need to be whitelisted first, or would the servers need to install it as well to be used?

Pretty sure that mod requires you to be in a group, currently there is no grouping system.

It would need to be signed by the server, which the devs have said won't happen at the moment to keep the test as clean and as easy as possible.

It also comes with a digital compass (of sorts) if memory serves correctly which would sort of spoil part of the game and so is unlikely to be added unless the compass component is removed.

Although.... looking at a few pictures of the mod, it looks like it can be turned off. I'm not sure whether that's at a client level and can be monitored by the server though. I know I've only ever used it with the compass on. Food for thought for the future but unlikely to occur during Alpha.

Would effect immersion for me as im struggling enough with all the chat in my face.

I don't think you can run it at the moment as it relies on groups and probably won't be signed by any servers running DayZ.

I think this would be a good feature to add once group management/factions are added into the game. Also with regards to the compass, its only available if you have a compass in your inventory and no it is not digital on the shacktac hud.
