[edit] I updated da file with a readme and have everything with da prefix LCD 2 upload dis into da ed dept :D
i spent my last 8 hrs at work doin da next script (4 of it was just getin da dialogs 2 show in da right order :P)
dis is basicly BIS strategic map... but usin map type dialog instead of da pic... its still not finished... but i run outta ideas 4 new functions... so list ny ideas u got... in da meantime here is da stuff u got
instalation...
1)create a folder in ur mision called LCD_map
2)2 da folder copy da 3 files (LCD_map.sqf,LCD_map.hpp,m1_icon.paa) 2 da LCD_map folder... im not yet usin da last file... but im gonna find somin 2 do w/ it soon... in da meantime it will just show st00pid pic in da midle of da dialog :P
3) in ur description.ext have da next line #include "LCD_map\LCD_map.hpp"
Usage :
2 start da map dialog u need 2 input da next line["init"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
in case u wanna use ny of da functions at da start of da map u cud use[[function array],"init"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
e.g [[veh,0.1,"stick"],"init"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
note : u can put as many function arrays in da init exec so it cud b [[function array1],[function array2],....,[function arrayn],"init"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
available functions
1) "stick"... sticks da map 2 an object
syntax : [VehicleName,Zoom,"stick"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
eg [player,0.1,"stick"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
zoom standes 2 da scale da map is on....
2) "singleclick" a quick onMapSingleClick option... resaults in exactly da same thing
syntax : [_code,"singleclick] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
eg ["hint ""hi""","singleclick"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
3) "RSCtext" helps u manage da dif RSCtext ctrls da dialog has
syntax : [control,fade,committime,[i][text,color[R,G,B,A],font][/i],"RSCtext"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
note : italic text is optional
eg ["Intel",1,0,["helo world",[1,0,0,0.5],"TahomaB"],"RSCtext"] execVM "LCD_map\LCD_map.sqf"
control = name of da control u wanna manage
fade = amount of transparcy control has
committime = times it takes changes 2 occur
names of difrent controls

May you try to attach a mission with more of the listed functionality working ? ;)

Well, i'm kinda "virgin" when it comes to dialogues. It looks really good...but...i don't get it, what is it good for? What can i do with? Actually it shows me my position on the map...nothing else.
Some more info what i can do with would be nice because it looks really interesting as far as i can judge.
Myke out :D

@LCD
i surely do not lack of imagination but for sure of knowledge :D
As i said, it looks really good and i can imagine a lot of useful stuff for it....but my prroblem remains (which is surely not your problem) that i can't do dialogue stuff for my life.
And, but this is no critic and surely not intended as offence, you style to write makes it not easier for me to understand what you explained.
Don't take it as offence, i did read the post about your so called "leet" speak (which is incorrect, should be called LCD-speek) and i do agree with those wh say "LCD is LCD and if he would write proper english, it wouldn't be LCD anymore", so keep up your style. Just saying, as i'm not native english (german i am) i might miss some points and the lack of dialogue knowledge makes it for me even more complicated to handle.
As i saw you uploaded a new demo mission, i'll give a look at it, hoping to see clearer with this.

One example of using this map resource is you could combine it with my findnearesttowns/findnearestairport function and you could place an arrow/marker pointing to the town on the map.
