blakeace has informed us about Blake's PRADAR (Player Radar) v1.1.01 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. ...
Version 1.1.01
- Added: Ability to switch between Side and friendly factions. So if you have a player who is civilian or independant you have the ability to have them show up on PRADAR. - Added: Ability to display the compass cardinal points. Action menu toggles them on and off. Visible only during depression of space. - Added: Popup list - If you hold your cursor over a unit or vehicle a pop list will display details of that unit.
- Vehicle - Displays who is in which position in the vehicle, including the cargo area. - Man - The units primary and secondary weapons.
- Added: Made the popup list text box size dynamic so it alters depending on how many lines of information are displayed. - Fixed: Issue where names were intermittent when players were upstairs in buildings. - Fixed: Ability to change groups which broke in the last update. - Changed: The checks for screen limits to cater for Multi monitor setups. - Fixed: Arma patch 1.62 issue where the labels and dots stopped updating properly by slowing the loop down slightly.

TPW has released an updated TPWC AI suppression system v 3.01 by TPW, -Coulum-, Fabrizio_T and Ollem on the BI Forums. TPWCAS comes as a script version and an addon version (both in the same download). CBA (community base addons) is required for both versions. Now TPWC AI is a Singleplayer, Multiplayer and Dedicated Server Compatible AI Suppression System. TPW has also released a TPWLOS 1.02 "Bonus addon", this addon improves AI response and realism in closer engagements.
One of the things sorely missing from Arma2 is reaction to passing bullets. An AI unit will often stand quite happily whilst bullets whiz by. This makes effective suppression of AI enemies difficult - you basically always have to aim to kill them since you can't make them keep their heads down by shooting nearby.
This addon aims to address this problem by making AI units react to passing projectiles. If a bullet snaps by within 10m of an AI unit, it will crouch/kneel (depending on movement), and if more than 5 bullets pass by a unit in 5 seconds, the unit will drop/crawl. After 10 seconds without bullets, the unit will return to its previous stance.
Additionally, suppressive fire can alter the aiming shake, accuracy and courage of the suppressed unit. The more fire directed near a unit, the lower its skills will become. After 5 or so seconds without bullets, the skills will gradually return to normal.
Currently there is no "suppressed" eventhandler in the game engine, so TPWCAS aims to mimic one by using CBA to set up a per frame eventhandler, which checks whether there is currently an active bullet/shell projectile object, and if so then checks whether each unit has any bullets within a 10m radius. This allows TPWCAS to work for any opfor, blufor, independent or civilian on the map, whether editor-placed or spawned, without a crippling CPU overhead.
TPWCAS significantly changes gameplay, allowing for longer engagements and more thought required to survive them.
3.00beta 20120714 - Bullet detect, supression and debugging framework now works in SP, MP and Dedicated (Ollem and Fabrizio). - Significant code overhaul (!) and cleanup. - Text debugging scales with distance. - bDetect 0.72 (SP/MP/Dedi).
3.01beta 20120716 - Additional pistol and subsonic magazines added - Fixed colour error with debugging map markers. - MP and dedicated server debug ball colour handling improved. - Units with stances set to crouch/prone by other AI mods will not be forced to "auto"" position when unsuppressed. - Fixed already prone units crouching under suppression, when using ACE (thanks Robalo). - Reveal shooter is disabled if using ASR_AI. - Highly skilled units will suffer lower courage reduction under fire. - bDetect logging off by default, may be toggled on. - bDetect 0.72 3.01 20120717 - Fixed debugging locality issue
Bonus addon TPWLOS 1.02 This addon improves AI response and realism in closer engagements. It is based on SaOk's excellent line-of-sight code which implements the new lineintersects, terrainintersect, eyepos and eyedirection commands introduced in OA beta patch 94103 (and simply won't work on earlier versions). TPWLOS works well with and nicely complements TPWCAS.
TPWLOS scans for enemies near each opfor or blufor or independent unit, determines if they have line of sight to the enemy (no buildings or terrain in the way), runs a few more visibility checks based on light level, movement, camouflage etc, and if the enemy is determined as visible then the unit will face towards and shoot at the enemy. Reaction time should be well under a second, which greatly enhances squad response and aggression in CQB situations.

2.07 beta release
Given the rapid pace of MP development by Ollem and Fabrizio, this may well turn out to be one of the last SP releases. Changelog: - Added floating text based debugging. - bDetect start hint now correctly not displayed if TPWCAS hint is not displayed. - Courage is only decreased if there are nearby friendly casualties. - bDetect 0.67.
So I've had these textures lying around for a long time( I have been going through all my old projects and theirs alot I've started but haven't had the skills to finish :\ ) And I found this ready to go except for a config issue. I've thrown it together knowing its in a pretty raw and as far as I can tell unfinished state, but still should be acceptable by most.

Martin has informed us about Taviana Island Beta 2 release on the BI Forums. ArmA 2 or ArmA 2 : Combined Arms needed, not compatible with standalone Arma2 : Operation Arrowhead. Finally after 6 months of hard work the second BETA version of Taviana Island for ArmA II has been released! Apart from major bug fixes, the second BETA of the island is loaded with tons of new features such as a football stadium, ports, oil rigs, highway, train station and more! The island also gives the player more than a half more playing area than the first BETA, including Lepestok, which is another city, nearly as big as the capital Sabina.
So a while ago I decided I didn't like the lack of diversity in the standard Arma unit markers and decided to create my own. However the sheer amount of markers that would be required would be staggering and probably completely fill up the marker list in the editor, so I decided to create a modular set of graphics and a script to create several layers of them to compose the desired marker.
Current features include a wide variety of available graphics allowing you to create a marker for any* kind of unit you want. Markers can track a unit or vehicle's movement or be placed wherever. The addon's been tested for a while by the United Operations community and I haven't been told of any problems so far. * may not actually be 'any'
