1. Installation and system requirements.


system requirements - any version of Armed Assault

To install, copy folder @DK in a folder, where your ArmA is installed, for example, "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA", and demo missions from folder missions to your ArmA/missions folder. ÏAfter that, add to your Arma shortcut mod=@DK. If you have some mods already installed, then it may look like this "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\arma.exe" -nosplash -mod=@Gloria;@MatoVirgo;@RealArtillery;@BWC;@STUFF;@DK

Or you can just put dk_znaki.pbo in your ArmA/Addons, folder, and missions in ArmA/missions:-)

2. How to use.


In an order to place markers in an editor press F6 and choose a sign you want from a list.

In RA it is accepted to use next colors of signs on a map:

Red - all what belongs to Friendly forces – subdivisions, armored vehicles, positions, actions, HQs and etc.

Black - designate the Friendly artillery, air defense forces, contacts, engineer and mine-explosives barrages.

Blue - mark all information about Enemy – subdivisions, positions, character of actions and etc. Including his artillery, air defense and other.

By default, colors are proposed for Friendly forces, but the color of marker can be changed by opening his menu.

Remember (!), that signs can be scaled. Some markers(such as “battle-order”, ”squad in defense”", minefields and other "long" signs) must be set on a map in scale not 1:1, but 1:2 or 2:1, they must be stretched in length or in width. Scale is choosing in the menu of marker.

Addon contains built-in support of the Russian and English languages, so they can be used for creation of multiplayer missions.

3. Realism in addon.


Unfortunately there is no possibility to inflict the signatures of different colors to signs. Except for it, I didn’t include possibility to plot the bars of fire and sectors of fire on a map – on Arma map it won’t be pleasure to watch on it.

In other, the set of markers ideally befits for creation of realistic missions, based on tactical tasks, which can be given for subdivisions of RA.

Field manuals of military forces or Russian Federation for motorized infantry and tank subdivisions foresee two types of action – offensive and deffensive. The enclosed demo missions contain the decision of two tactical tasks of motorized infantry subdivision with given and support forces.

They, except for it, can be used as example of making “commander’s work map” and brifieng.

Briefing and map contains:
  • Information about a situation on the area of action.
  • Known information about composition and character enemy’s action, available data about the location of his points of management and fire weapons.
  • Composition and task of our subdivision.
  • Information about neighbours and interactive subdivisions.
These information is also plotted on map as conventional tactical signs, whereupon, a stage-by-stage standing before subdivision task follows in a kind "objectives".
