Nice idea, I like the simplified icons describing the units' roles :)

A plain white crosshair would be nice for OFP nostalgia :)

Also, could you check if it's possible to change the color of hud and dots in the vehicle radar? it would be great if they could all be turned completely transparent, thus easily removing the stupid vehicle radar, :D

Recent advancements in modding have created more realistic vehicle HUD systems, thus making the virtual radar appear even uglier and more irritating than before. I'm hoping for even more radar mods before ArmAII turns one year old, so ways of getting rid of the old hud would be nice.

On the config error, maybe you have one too many of these at the very end:

};

That's the only explanation I can think of.

never thought about a plane white lol, will add.

removing the hud all together will see about as well. once the config error is fixed i can do that, that what that config is for (i hope).

try it. didn't help.

Could be the extra comma on this line:

requiredAddons[] = {CAUI, "CAFonts", "CAData",};

Lose the last comma and add quotation marks around the new required addon dependency:

requiredAddons[] = {CAUI, "CAFonts", "CAData",};

change to:

requiredAddons[] = {"CAUI", "CAFonts", "CAData"};

still get the error

but i want to say its in here somewhere but i can't see it

	class RscHint {

	class Background {

		colorBackground = {0.188200, 0.258800, 0.149000, 0.760000};

	};

	class Hint: RscStructuredText {

		colorText[] = {1, 0, 1, 1};

		class Attributes: Attributes {

			color = "#98d577";
		};
	};
};

class RscTaskHint {

	class controlsBackground {

		class Background {

			colorBackground[] = {0.188200, 0.258800, 0.149000, 0.760000};
		};
	};

	class Controls {

		class Hint: RscStructuredText {

			colorText[] = {1, 1, 1, 1};
			colorBackground[] = {0, 0, 0, 0};

			class Attributes: Attributes {
				color = "#ffffff";

			};
		};
	};
};
};

well i tryed taking it out and still get the error.

class CfgInGameUI {

colorBackground[] = {1, 0, 0, .25};

colorText[] = {1, 0, 0, 1};

colorBackgroundCommand[] = {1, 0, 0, .25};

colorBackgroundHelp[] = {1, 0, 0, .25};

};

};

Last }; delete it

Also, here

class RscUnitInfoAir: RscUnitInfo {

};

};

Delete one of the };

And delete the last }; on your config.

Try the notepad++, it's much easier to create those files with it :)

that did it. you guys will see a preview tomorrow i plan on

the thing for me is the icons, I use BC6Feeling icons but they are not all complete and I keep getting missing errors, do your icons cover most/all situations and units or are they limited?

If not, im in on this, simple and effective ... you will have a "don't leave home without it" mod on your hands sir! :)

i have not fond a icon or missing thing yet. but still in early stages of this part. but i would think if it is not working as it should it something not original with the game.

but if you or enyone esle at that maghter want to help test/help with this you can get me on xfire: tjgamer32

emails and PM's most likly wo't get you far with me. xfire and teamspeak is the only things i really run

PREVIEW!!!

only need to hind the code for the top right. when your on foot work fine. get in something and back to default.
