Sweet markers system

Description
Feel free to use, copy and modify this mod as you want.

Sweet markers system v.2.1:

1) Client-server logic has been rewritten, and the addon is now working faster.
2) Versions for Arma 2 and Arma 3 with the same functionality. (CBA:CO required for ArmA 2 version).
3) Compatible with ACE/AGM/etc except the several hotkeys on map. (If you have any trouble like black lines, just delete the Maptools pbo)
4) Logging system: now you'll always know who was drawing markers on your map.
5) Ability to draw ellipses. (2000 m. in radius max).
6) Ability to change line thickness. (100 m. max).
7) Ability to change marker position after drawing.
8) Only marker's owner is able to change direction and position of the marker.
9) Vanilla flags, ranks and location markers have been removed from the list of available markers. (Only A3).
10) Ability to place marker on the nearest road.
11) Path finder was disabled (Path finder is disabled now until I deal with some performance issues).
12) In order to function properly, the addon needs to be present both on the server and on all clients.
New hotkeys:
Shift + Alt + hold LMB — draw ellipse.
Ctrl + Alt + hold LMB — draw lines (Thickness: Ctrl -, Alt +).
Shift + Ctrl - put marker on the nearest road.

5) Ability to quickly place markers without opening/closing interface.
6) Ability to save markers placed on the map and load them in other missions.
7) Ability to enable/disable some functions of this add-on in map maker settings.
8) English and Russian languages.

No way to change hotkeys? CTRL+ALT draws a Sweet Markers line, and an A3 freehand line behind it at the same time, so all my plans are backgrounded by black scribbles- because i also cant change the default color. The UI is lovely, but functionality is lacking.. Ill use again if this stuff is fixed. I just want a way to make nice fat lines (the ctrl+alt sweet marker lines are perfect) without all the other extra crap, any suggestions?

Как сделать чтобы рисование маркеров и линий через сочетания клавиш Ctrl + Alt + LMB не совмещалось с рисованием тонких линий из ванильной армы на Ctrl + LMB?

there is no edit marker option and this mod disables the native marker functionality from top right hand corner

Приветствую, отпиши пожалуйста в ЛС. У тебя твой мод перепаковали и даже не отписали тебя автором.

@Skier, Its my understanding it should be loaded on Server and Client. I have it installed on my dedi server, thus also requiring all clients run it, and so far it works great with no issues. I also have key verification enabled, so the Bikeys work okay as well.

Does the mod need to be signed by the server to work? I tried in single player and it was working great but when i got onto a server It wouldn't let me put any markers down

Hey there sweet!
This is an awesome mod that we've been using for quite some time. But sadly there are some "quirks". Drawing vanilla lines with modded ones etc.

Adding functionality that will allow you to place markers into side channel only with long range from TFAR would also be awesome!

The question I got is if you would be ok with me rewriting and adding the functionality we would like to have to this addon and upload it to workshop, ofcourse crediting you properly.

Thank you for your answer and this awesome mod!

Starting with a savegame and the function is gone. Plus several other problems with lines.
Looks nice but in practice ... it's better to use zeus an set Nato marker there.

If i get it good, you can't EDIT marker which you put on map ? you can only move it on map and remove it after u put it
