[change request]: change the unit icons of the map intel events

[xetra11]

Description

Change the icons of units shown by the intel events to a NATO Icon without showing the ALiVE profile IDs. Actually they look the same as when I activated profiles debugging.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Module "C2ISTAR"
2. Set Option "Display Intel on Map" to Yes

Expected behavior: I expect to see unit event markers that look the same as the markers you see for units when opening CI2STAR tablet and look at the Intel menu and select "Units"

Actual behavior: [What actually happened] They look the same as when I activate the profiles debugger. For instance e13, e101, e32, etc.

Could someone comment on whether this is intentional? I'll look into this when time permits.

@xetra11 could you upload a screenshot of how the markers look in the CI2STAR tablet? Just for future reference.

@xetra11 you want some way to remove profile IDs from map intel events? The icons do not need to be changed?

[xetra11]

@the-star Those ID markers for profiles do belong to the debugging visuals in my opinion. The intel feature icons should therefore not be mixed with the ones from the debugging. It is just a little part to keep immersion up when checking intel information.

Well remove the IDs or make it the same as the CI2STAR Intel option where only red markers (without NATO symbol for armored, motorized, etc.) appear.

Does not matter what icon should be taken - I just would like to have those IDs removed because of mentioned debugging visuals.

Would you want an option to remove the waypoints as well? I think the profile IDs are mainly there for that reason.

I'm thinking of having a setting for the following:

• Display profile ID (Yes/No)
• Display waypoint (Yes/No)

[xetra11]

@the-star Nah wait. Are we talking about the debugging now?

The Intel Display does not have any waypoints as you mentioned.

Again:

• Open Module "C2ISTAR"
• Set Option "Display Intel on Map" to Yes

This will render Events on the map that are considered as Intel Events. They are displayed with IDs that are actually only known/visible when using the Alive Profile Debugging option in the Module Settings.

What I wished for was to disable those IDs only on the mentioned Intel Event display

@xetra11 sorry for the delay bud.

Let's discuss the waypoints using this repo mission.

1. Ensure the C2ISTAR module parameters are set correctly
2. Run the mission for a few minutes and wait for OPFOR to capture Charkia
3. Scroll over Charkia and let me know what you see

Here's some screenshots of my session showing the waypoints. They're the x markers with the profile ID.

Yea I know what you meant by waypoints. I see them every time I have ALiVE Profiles Debugger running. But these waypoint markers AND the profile IDs should not appear in the Intel Event View on the map because they are debugging information and not immersive intel informations

[the-star]

OK, I got sidetracked by your other response but we should be on the same page now.

To keep the terms straight, let's stick to the following:

• Intel tablet: this is the map view when in the C2ISTAR tablet. I will not be modifying this code.
• Map intel: this is the map view you get when pressing your map (M) button. This is the code we're concerned with.

Here's my original question

Would you want an option to remove the waypoints as well? I think the profile IDs are mainly there for that reason.

I'm thinking of having a setting for the following:

• Display profile ID (Yes/No)
• Display waypoint (Yes/No)

I will put in the parameter description that it only affects map intel. I think having these two options should work for you.

Sounds great buddy! Thanks for your awesome effort
