Excellent! I've always thought it would be good to have a live 'pointer' when briefing.

I just updated the first post with a new version (1.2) of FHQ MapDraw. New features in this release:
  • Deleting of lines. Hover the mouse over a line and press the delete key to delete a line. There is a 10% border around the line segments to facilitate better hit rates Smile
  • Mouse cursor broadcast. Hold down the right shift key and move your mouse. This will show the cursor position as a triangle marker on all clients. Good for pointing out terrain features, directions, or other things.

Enjoy!
Absolutely devilish! Looking forward to trying it tonight!

I'll have to give credit to Vara on for the mouse pointer idea... :-)

Actually, blame dyslexci. I saw a video where he briefs his guys, and even though they can't see it, he's waving his mouse cursor around along the path they wish to take, so I thought it would be nice to be actually able to see that

You thought right Wink I actually thought it would be something that BIS would have to code into the engine, so I'm amazed that it's been done in a mod  8)

It's just a marker being moved. Nothing spectacular, but looks like a laser pointer on the map :-)
