  PRADAR 1.2 by Blakeace Addon release    
blakeace has informed us about Blake's PRADAR (Player Radar) v1.2 release on the BI Forums.

... One of the things I found frustrating at times was my situational awareness, involving both my group members as well as my ability to interact with other groups effectively. The more visual clues that are available help reduce the critical communications channels to more important transmissions. Rather than the usual who's that or where are you etc. This was even more valuable to me when leading a group.

Knowing quickly where players are helps you to quickly issue orders more effectively. Espessially in time critical moments.
Using mods that highlighted names helped, but generally required you to focus your cursor over them. That is if you have one visible.
I like a minimal information display ideally, the more data presented constantly makes me feel more like a terminator visual interface than a basic grunt on the ground. Bright red names like neon signs really didn't help the immersion for me personally. ...

1.2
Added: Code to check if the name command is returning "Error: No unit"
Changed: Removed the large dot displayed of the players vehicle when the player was in that vehicle.
Added: A list that displays current players who are in the vehicle you are in if you hold space and don't have the cursor over any objects. It also lists their position in the vehicle.
Changed: Colour scheme for the lists. Personal lists e.g. Current vehicle occupants or current group loadout list are green with black text. Cursor lists which detail other vehicle occupants or a single units current loadout are displayed black with green text.
Changed: How closet units are found from nearestobjects to nearentities. This fixesthe issue where pausing occurs since the Arma 1.62 patch.
Added: Code to not display a label for one cycle of code if it is switching objects it is labelling.
Changed: Optimised the code more to help fix the Arma 1.62 patch issue.
