Add a CBA setting to allow user and/or mission maker to choose unit of heading.

Create an option to integrate ACRE2: Transmit data between unit/vehicle only if both has a radio, and ask ACRE2 to determine if transmission is good enough (-100dbm minimum).
Use a predefined/hardcoded frequency.

acre_sys_signal_fnc_getSignal can be used, but is not public

My group has been running a modified version of Riouken CTAB for some time, I had a list of changes I wanted to do but never had the time, and then I found your version on steam,

Any change or addition made in our forks you would be welcome to incorporate back into the main branch.

Our major changes currently are.

• CAS Menu and icons
• All items are inventory items and not locked to the device slot
• Lots of additional icons in general
• On the to do list i we have new models for the android and tablet, ( just not had the time to convert them to p3d)

Improve immersion by using a real mobile or a real tablet

Baseline

• Create an extension to send data to a SignalR endpoint, with full asynchronous behavior
• Create a local self-hosted SignalR server, with a Web Frontend
• Support "real time" player position
• Adapt features to user inventory devices

Support Blue Force Markers

• At each synchronisation
• At "real time" if option is selected in cTab (maybe every 2 seconds to limit performance overhead)
• Transform all markers to milsymbol

Support User Markers

• Display markers on map (as soon as they are added)
• Transform all markers to milsymbol
• Create markers from Web Frontend

Support messaging

• Read messages
• Delete message
• Compose and send message

Configuration

• Choose server
• Enable/disable
• Generate key if none
• Support cTab setting for degrees/mils

"Cloud" hosting

• Steam sign-in
• Key to pair with Arma3

• Use https://github.com/synixebrett/HEMTT for build process
• Use CBA function caching
• Move all functions to dedicated .sqf file (=split player_init.sqf)
• Move init script to core file

Key bindings are not listed in CBA list. It's likely done too late

1. Connect to cTab and view map in browser
2. In Arma create a ORBAT symbol on the map either using vanilla icons or METIS marker
3. Icons not visible in browser map

iOS web experience is not good :

• We have to find a way to have full screen experience on Safari or adjust buttons position
• Prevent sleep with nosleep.js - https://github.com/richtr/NoSleep.js/

Currently using this functionality in Arma3TacMap

Does not work if usage of the global channel is disabled in description.ext
I propose a drop down CBA setting in which a player/admin can select which channel cTab should stream the markers into.

I'm getting the following error when trying to host my own version of ctabirl

systemd[1]: Started kestrel-ctab.service - cTabWebApp.
(abWebApp)[5572]: kestrel-ctab.service: Failed to locate executable /var/www/ctab/cTabWebApp: Is a directory
(abWebApp)[5572]: kestrel-ctab.service: Failed at step EXEC spawning /var/www/ctab/cTabWebApp: Is a directory
systemd[1]: kestrel-ctab.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=203/EXEC
systemd[1]: kestrel-ctab.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

I followed the guide exactly so I am confused as to why I'm getting errors

Allow metric precision with a CBA Setting

If used with ACE3, access should be possible with interaction menu

Create CBA settings to

• Enable/disable Blue Force Tracking
• Set Blue Force Tracking refresh rate
• Enable/disable Helmet cam feed
• Enable/disable UAV feed

The icons of the webapp are named totally different than the icons of the PBO addon. In the webapp you use names like "/img/preview/10061000001211020000.png" while in the addon scripts you use much better readable file names like "o_infantry.paa". I suggest same naming for webapp like for addon. Thus for example o_infantry.png for web and o_infantry.paa for Addon.

Sometimes while opening the map view in multiplayer the whole game will crash.
Have created a ticket on the Arma 3 Feedback tracker with crash dumps in the hopes that a dev can give some insight.
https://feedback.bistudio.com/T172503

is there any chance you can make it so that we can edit the 9 liners for medevac and make it to our on 9 liners

Using CBA_MiscItem instead of ItemCore + simulation = "ItemMineDetector"; should fix this

As request by @DE-Schmitt in #33, add the ability to move a user marker.

On a technical point of view, that likely should remain a remove + add operation, to ensure notifications and timestamp update.

SIT 1erGTD (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262009445) has TIC (Troops In Contact) feature but in-game cTab does not have this feature at all.

SIT 1erGTD (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2262009445) is usable when your character enters ACE unconsciousness and that should not be possible as you cannot use cTab in-game when you are ACE unconscious as well.

I want to modify and play around with a clone of your repo. More precisely: The ctab webapp. Thus I installed Visual Studio Code including github and C# extension and also installed .net 7. I have some trouble compilating this repo because a simple click on run/debug leads to errors like \cTabIRL\cTabWebApp\Hub\CTabHub.cs(7,7): error CS0246: Type- or namespace name "Arma3TacMapLibrary" not found. I also see stuff like \Arma3TacMap\Arma3TacMapLibrary\Arma3TacMapLibrary.csproj was skipped because it was not found. Is there some documentation on how to compile your repo? Is there another repo "Arma3TacMap" I have to download in order to compile cTab webapp?

Looking at this commit (e99dd0b) to remember the commands for different marker channel I noticed you uncommented DISABLE_COMPILE_CACHE in

(Instead of green circle)

It would be very handy to enter a custom text when adding a "dot with label" (general category) via SIT. Instead of timestamp, there should be a pop up asking for some text to be typed in by the user. Currently only ingame you can create markers with custom text. This functionality is missing in SIT. There is currently no way to enter a custom text using the SIT web app.

à quoi bon essayer de rendre la carte plus réaliste si le GPS Vanilla permet de torpiller tout cela.

Some mods "additionally defines the cTab items as inventory items instead of GPS items to get rid of the vanilla GPS functionality, akin to the cTab."

To avoid breaking changes, we should duplicate items as CBA_MiscItem and ensure that they are supported by all codebase (along existing items).

@jetelain If you need more icons for your wonderful mod, feel free to add/use our ctab icon set from Titan Platoon which we have created to enhance the ctab experience: https://ludwig-software.de/uploads/titan/20230311-titan_ctab_icons.zip

Contains 33 icons in all formats needed by ctab GTD and SIT, for example:

• o_aircraft_rotary-wing_utility.paa (half transparent white)
• o_aircraft_rotary-wing_utility.png (half transparent white)
• o_aircraft_rotary-wing_utility_red32.paa
• o_aircraft_rotary-wing_utility_red32.png
• o_aircraft_rotary-wing_utility_red64.png

We have adapted the enemy menu by exchanging the current ctab enemy markers with our markers.

ACE MicroDAGR is more feature complete that cTab MicroDAGR. It would be great to be able to use it with cTab.

• Consider ACE_microDAGR as a cTab device (for tracking only)
• Draw cTAB BFT on ace_microdagr (using ace_microdagr_miniMapDrawHandlers)
• Make it optionnal

One thing that I always found missing with Ctab is the, gap it has when it comes to CSAR missions. Granted it is almost there but, I always wanted to have something close the AN-PRC112G Pilot emergency radio.

Granted the radio feature is not for this mod. However the 112 has an extra ability that other Blufor radios don't have. GPS transmission, the 112 has the ability to send encrypted GPS location data to any friendly network in the world.

What I am asking is to add a portable GPS transmitter that can show it's location to any BFT computer. The best part, I already have a solution.

I suggest using the ACE DAGR, not MicroDAGR. As the transmitter. It doesn't weigh much, and it shows GPS data. A bonus feature that would be nice to have, but would probably require some more work. Is the ability to just receive BFT messages.

Anyways just an idea for us pilots, should we ever find ourselves with some canvas over our heads.

As requested by STyx2909

la tablette est pauvre en markers, en avoir plus serait un must ainsi que de vrais outils (éventuellement).

Reported by Q on Steam Workshop

I t would be great if you could make the font color of the distance text (lower right screen) change if you go to map topological view. Currently its not readable with Topological mapview.

How to install the cTab SIT on an own server? I don't find any configuration options. I compile the SIT code, works fine locally in my browser. But now how to connect it to the ArmA Server? (In my scenario the ArmA server and the SIT server are different servers)

• Full localization support (stringtable, etc.)
• French

Hey @jetelain !

What is the difference between your project and the original https://github.com/Riouken/cTab/tree/master/%40cTab/addons/cTab ?

Your projects splits the ctab into ctab_core.pbo, ctab_ctab.pbo, ctab_main.pbo while the original only has ctab.pbo. Why do you split it into three pbos?

I want to integrate https://ctab.plan-ops.fr/ into my github. Thus it seem I need yours instead of the original ctab. But I am curious whats the differences.

Greetings!

Error is in the metis marker functions but I suspect they error out because they're getting the wrong arguments.

1. Create basic mission on Fapovo
2. Host as local multiplayer directly in the editor
3. Open up cTab IRL in browser and select "Load tactical map". I'm selecting this PLANOPS map https://maps.plan-ops.fr/ViewMap/5039?t=anvQLU07RyU_USh4PMdXg-95QozGC0gjvxllvmRArXQ
4. Error pop up
   
5. Lines are created correctly, all metis markers are missing.

Using the latest version of cTab, SIT and Metis Markers
The one time export in the editor does include Metis Markers.

Allow user, and mission makers, to setup Communication Technical Data:

• Group callsign
• Group parent unit
• Group icon : Kind + Size
• "Frequency of data transmission" (5 digits)

Arma markers are not displayed on mobile device.
The @ctabIRl mod should send data to hub, the hub boardcast it, and the javascript to display it.

Arma 2.02 provides events to make it real time.
