I do dig new icons

HMG emplacement is not really representative, maybe some generic looking turret thingy?

wont work due to the small formfactor of the icon making the entire image blurry if there are details. look at radio tower for example, without the background the entire icon suffers a blur effect which make the icon look bad.

wersal454 · 2026-03-09T13:04:55Z

I like the idea about having different icons for each side

As I said in dms "gives vibes and helps with distinction" imo

If most agree that one for all will do, so be it, no biggie

Also HMG emplacement icon suggestion (not an actual suggestion, just a makeup)

I already explained all the issues with the suggestion you provided.
It's way to thin, too many details. If bits will be added it would look bad and blocky. Which will make it roblox.
Further more using a weapon icon will suffer no matter what due to the same reasons.
Currently happening with the antitank marker

The different Seaport markers were a left over test for the design. If you notice details get lost yet again between each marker, which makes have 3 different versions useless.

 private _milAdminPositions = getArray (_mapInfo/"milAdministrations");
+private _milAdminMarkersToUpdate = [];

Just FYI: this is a prime example of why code convention three exists.

Also, question: this code will now hide markers of miladmins whose building is destroyed; this might not necessarily mean that the miladmin is cleared, though. The officer might still be alive...

mil admins are weird, at least for me.
right now mil admins dont get hidden at all, but the functionality is different, an alive mil admin wont have the hover option but a dead one will, and i cant get the hover to work on both....
