System Overview

Tasks Overhaul is name for project targeting UX and visual improvements to Arma 3 task framework.

The 1st batch of updates was released to development branch on March 2016. It goal is to:

• update visuals of task markers in both 3D environment and in map
• improve diary panels UX and visuals
• improve map & task interaction - direct task assignment/unassignment from map
• allow simultaneous display of multiple tasks in 3D environment
• implement 'Shared Objectives' through new generic feature called Custom Data

Current implementation state:

• Tasks Overhaul system is currently available in the development branch and it is still in development.
• Engine implantation is almost done, although some aspects and behavior details can change depending on feedback.
• The core of the data part is done, but there will definitely be changes and tweaks based on internal and external feedback as well as internal tests.
• Changes to the data part will most likely be visual - color, transparency, scaling, positioning.
• One of the most noticeable changes will be implementation of the new icon set for task types.
  • Currently all task types use default icon, proper icon set is in production.
  • Expect task types and icons to iterate rapidly.
