During the past year, I spent a great amount of time on getting into Arma 2 modding & scripting with the goal of creating a private server which comes along with some modern UI and gameplay approaches. The script I am showcasing in this post is a Server Menu which includes a lot of my favourite scripts while also looking as good as it is user friendly. However, by NO means was this script entirely made by myself. It can rather be seen as a visually enhanced repack of the best and most useful scripts from this community (that I came across). Working on this script was done to better understand scripting and learn from the experience of others and not to re-invent the wheel. With this post, I therefore would like to ask for some opinions and feedback (maybe someone can think of some nice tweaks or additional features?), but I will certainly not release any files at this point. If there should be an actual interest in my project, I would be more than happy to re-do all Icons and graphics which I have borrowed from other artists and ask for permission from all individuals, who´s codes I have used, so that I can actually publish this work.
The current features include:
o Crafting Menu, based on Stormz Menu
o Rules/ Info Screen
o Health and Money Display
o Integrated Group Menu
o Time & User Name
o Statistics
Distance travelled
Health in Percent and Blood,
Distance travelled
Money
Kills (Zombies and PvP)
o Basic reward system (based on NPC kills)
Supply drop
Trader drop
Guided Missile
Scan surrounding for Players or NPC´s
o Settings Menu
View Distance
Gras Settings
Ambient Sound
Colour Filter
Slider Menu to create own colour settings
All settings & stats are saved in ProfileNamespace and loaded when logging in
