Guys,

I'm an old Karma server player, and one thing I've always struggled about โ€” given it's a missing feature in Arma itself โ€” is the possibility of knowing mid-game which roles are occupied, and by whom, in our very own faction at least.

Whether I'm just a squad member, or even more so if in a leadership role, at some point mid-game, It's just NECESSARY to know if a certain role of the CoC is actually occupied by anyone;
And I'm not talking about a situation where someone doesn't respond on radio and you wanna confirm if he/she is unconscious or not... It's just that you really don't even know if there's anyone there, or if that person crashed or something.
So no metagaming goals here.

Until now, the only way to known that was to: "Abort" and check the lobby, which is unviable on Karma's Lib given the need for reinsert and realism sake

...Well, those days are over! I give to you the ORBAT Script:

  • Creates a ORBAT diary on map screen for every connected player, showing ONLY:
  • Joinned players and their given roles and groups;
  • AI ocupying roles, if Enable AI is true on mission file.
  • Updates the ORBAT, for all players connected, whenever:
  • New player joins the mission (after lobby screen);
  • Player Aborts and come back to game (changing roles or not):
  • Player disconnects from server (vacant role)
    See pics below

โ€” Uses only local init.sqf and Server EH to trigger the changes via remoteExec;
โ€” No side scripts or scheduled environment running;
โ€” Works on SP and MP;
โ€” Can be set to show all Factions that has playable slots, or only the side of the player (default).

This is my personnel gift to the Karma Community and I hope y'all can enjoy. ๐Ÿฅณ ๐ŸŽ

DEVs may feel free to use it on the next Campaign and make changes as needed. No need for credits or mentions ๐Ÿค™

Anybody else who likes it, feel free to use it too. ๐Ÿค

#

but if you can get it to feed into a UI, I can add it as an ace interact when the map is open

Oh snap, Watergard condoned, let's go

#

does it support scrolling

#

that'd work if so

#

I just figure it'd be pretty big on high pop

tame cloak
#

No but I think it supports structured text

#

Lemme see

#

Actually itโ€™d probably be easier just to use a cutRsc with it from addaction. Iโ€™m at the hospital atm but it should be quick when I get home

I hope you/the person is alright

Im sorry, do you people not check the messaging tab on your ctab / android? You can see everyone and what slot they're in..

#

Ahhh yeah that makes sense..
Here i am just realizing the 1eGTD version has integration with RL phones, so you can use your actual phone/tablet as ctab.

#

And it has integration with ACE tools like the rangefinders for accurate marking in ctab

What you can do is go in your Ctab and then go to messages and you can see who is on what in your team
