what do you mean by marker?
Hey folks,
just thought I would update you with the solution I found. It was quite simple in the end.
First you need to grab your misson.pbo, extract it and open up the mission.sqm file in a text editor. Go to line 1165 (or close to it depending on how much editing you have done to the file) and look for this code:
Now, to add your markers you need to create new Items within the Markers class. The format for the additional Items is as follows:
You will also have to update the:
Hope this helps,

First you need to grab your misson.pbo, extract it and open up the mission.sqm file in a text editor. Go to line 1165 (or close to it depending on how much editing you have done to the file) and look for this code:
class Markers
{
items=7;
class Item0
{
position[]={7839.6055,381.33774,8414.7324};
name="center";
type="Empty";
};
class Item1
{
position[]={-18697.58,379.53012,25815.256};
name="respawn_west";
type="Empty";
};
class Item2
{
position[]={4932.3345,0.39950246,1989.1094};
name="spawn0";
type="Empty";
};
class Item3
{
position[]={2236.0391,0.63119155,1923.3735};
name="spawn1";
type="Empty";
};
class Item4
{
position[]={8738.1328,0.45720705,2122.1082};
name="spawn2";
type="Empty";
};
class Item5
{
position[]={10909.267,0.57597214,2422.3096};
name="spawn3";
type="Empty";
};
class Item6
{
position[]={13510.764,0.44504455,5249.3027};
name="spawn4";
type="Empty";
};
};
};
Now, to add your markers you need to create new Items within the Markers class. The format for the additional Items is as follows:
class Item7
{
position[]={11479,317.29391,11263};
name="TheLastStand";
text="The Last Stand";
type="waypoint";
colorName="ColorRed";
};
Breaking this down, we have:
position[]={11479,317.29391,11263}; or position[]={Xpos,°Rotation,Ypos};
name="TheLastStand"; The unique marker name, no spaces.
text="The Last Stand"; The displayed text on the in-game map.
type="waypoint"; The type of marker, no need to change this unless you know the codes.
colorName="ColorRed"; The marker colour.
You will also have to update the:
items=7;
at the top, to reflect the new number of markers, as a tip this will always be the last Item number +1.Hope this helps,
b

thanks for that Lazyink. Do you know where I can find the other codes like "waypoint"?

Never bothered looking this up until now, pretty awesome how many types there are. Imma have to modify my servers markers now!
most of them are banned in DayZ, just to save you some confusion while trying it out

Yeah, I noticed that. I was really hoping to use the "Heliport" symbol to mark my AI helicopter transport stops but that is one of the banned symbols apparently.
I ended up settling for the "Move" symbol which still looks alright.Manatee Hunter

blue is where they are currently at and black is where i want them to be

blue is where they are currently at and black is where i want them to be
position[]={354,[13651.8,3052.63,0.001}; This is your pos in the dayz format. x,y,z (z being distance above GROUND) The standard Arma format is x,z,y (z being distance above SEA LEVEL)
The distance above sea level shouldn't matter for this so all you have to do is switch y and z around
position[]={354,[13651.8,0.001,3052.63};
