Editing the in-game map.

[Jacob Lane]

items=13; should be items=25;

Why is that? Thought they were supposed to be sequential.
Also, am I supposed to add a semicolon after each "item=#"? The previous ones that were already in my mission.sqf didn't have them.

 

[Rossymond]

You have 25 items in total, so items = 25

If anyone needs it, I can post the list of which markers work in DayZ. I went through and tested them all.

Wow, you tested them all? Definitely post your findings so others don't have to. THX.

 

[Jacob Lane]

They're all labeled by what they're called. Tested in DayZ and active in my server so I can confirm these all work. Enjoy.

 

[Dusty Nuttles]

'Supply' doesn't work. Nor does 'Repair'...not in Chernarus anyway. Just tested them.

[Dusty Nuttles]

Why would it work in a separate file and not in mission.sqm?

I tested a bunch of them. In the link below I made a list of the ones that worked.

http://opendayz.net/threads/adding-map-markers.11753/

This is my updated list from the other thread.

Working
CommandTeam
Move
Faction_US [looks nice with ColorWhite]
Attack
Vehicle
Camp
Headquarters
AirTeam
SupplyVehicle

Not Working
Faction_USMC
Faction_RU
Faction_CDF [really wanted that one to work]
Town
City
Flag1
hd_flag
FOB


EDIT:
Just realized Jacob didn't put the real class names so I'm retesting. My error, shouldn't have use the names from the pics posted. SupplyVehicle does work.

 

[Jacob Lane]

These are all labeled by there class name (minus a space on some). I've gone through and tested all these and can confirm they ARE working (at least on Lingor).

Not sure you can use a negative value in the X or Y position? I'm not confident in that but it would make sense.

hmm ill try and take it out?

 

[gopostal]

Panda it may just be a limitation of the marker code. Negative numbers probably freak out the computations.

 

[sadpanda]

nope... stays in the same spot :/

 

[sadpanda]

well i got diff coord that didnt contain negative, and tried and still didnt work , :/

 

[gopostal]

That actually semi-confirms my suspicion. I'll bet it discards the negative and reads it as a positive number no matter what.

Is it placed where it would be had the negative been written as a positive number?

BTW, dropped into TS to discuss this but couldn't wait very long. Got to get some sleep for tomorrow. I'll catch up after work.

[sadpanda]
