Mod Settings (CBA)

You can adjust mod behavior using CBA settings.

CONFIGURE > CONFIGURE ADDONS
Select "cTab" from the ADDON dropdown
  • Synchronisation rate (ctab_core_sync_time) :
    Time required for new devices to be discovered. This setting is always enforced by server or mission.
    • 30 seconds by default
  • Blue Force Tracking (ctab_core_bft_mode) :
    • Disabled
    • Real time (default)
    • At each synchronisation (more realistic)
  • Helmet Cam (ctab_core_helmetcam_mode) :
    • Disabled
    • Enabled (default)
  • UAV feeds (ctab_core_uav_mode) :
    • Disabled
    • Enabled (default)
  • Compass unit (ctab_core_useMils) :
    • Mils
    • Degrees (default)
  • Default map mode (ctab_core_defMapStyle) :
    • Topographic
    • Satellite (default)

All settings can be enforced by mission or server.

Class Names

ItemcTab // Commander Tablet
ItemAndroid // Android based Blue Force Tracker
ItemcTabHCam // Helmet Cam
ItemMicroDAGR // MicroDAGR GPS

If ACE3 is used, you can also use

ACE_MicroDAGR // ACE MicroDAGR GPS

You may disable ACE MicroDAGR support usings mods settings (ctab_core_useAceMicroDagr).

Add items to a box

Place this in the initialisation of an Ammo box to add 10 of each item:

this addItemCargo ["ItemcTab",10];this addItemCargo ["ItemcTabHCam",10];this addItemCargo ["ItemAndroid",10];this addItemCargo ["ItemMicroDAGR",10];

Add item to a unit directly

Place this in the initialisation of a soldier:

this addItem "ItemcTab";

Note: This will add the item to the actual inventory, but not assign it to the GPS slot. The unit will have to have enough space in its inventory to fit the item, otherwise it won't be assigned. addItem assigns the item to the next best inventory container that fits the item, in the order of uniform, vest and backpack. The Tablet (itemcTab) for example won't fit in most uniforms, so there has to be space in either the vest or backpack. Use addItemToBackpack to add the item directly to the unit's backpack and addItemToVest to directly assign it to the vest. To assign an item directly to the GPS slot (it has no space restrictions, but will still count towards the unit's total load), use ´linkItem´ instead.

This will for example assign the MicroDAGR to the GPS slot and place the Tablet into the unit's backpack:

this linkItem "ItemMicroDAGR";this addItemToBackpack "ItemcTab";

Set cTab side-specific encryption keys

If you wish multiple factions to share cTab data, you will have to set their encryption keys to be the same. These are the variables that hold the encryption keys with their default values:

cTab_encryptionKey_west = "b";
cTab_encryptionKey_east = "o";
cTab_encryptionKey_guer = "i";
cTab_encryptionKey_civ = "c";

Note: It is advised to keep the encryption keys as short as possible since some actions use them to exchange data across the network, so by keeping them short, there is less data exchanged.

So if you want to have for example OPFOR and GUER share cTab data, put this at the TOP of your init.sqf:

// set GUER encryption key to be the same as the default BLUEFOR encryption key
cTab_encryptionKey_guer = "b";

Note: If GUER is set to be friendly with either WEST or EAST, GUER will by default have the same encryption key as the friendly faction. Set cTab_encryptionKey_guer = "i"; to override.

Override vehicle types that have FBCB2 or TAD available

If you wish to override the list of vehicles that have FBCB2 or TAD available, put this at the TOP of your init.sqf:

// only make FBCB2 available to MRAPs, APCs and tanks
cTab_vehicleClass_has_FBCB2 = ["MRAP_01_base_F","MRAP_02_base_F","MRAP_03_base_F","Wheeled_APC_F","Tank"];

// make TAD available to all helicopters and planes with the exception of the MH-9 Hummingbird and AH-9 Pawnee
cTab_vehicleClass_has_TAD = ["Heli_Attack_01_base_F","Heli_Attack_02_base_F","Heli_Light_02_base_F","Heli_Transport_01_base_F","Heli_Transport_02_base_F","I_Heli_light_03_base_F","Plane"];

Override helmet classes with enabled helmet camera

// Only have BWmod helmets with a camera simulate a helmet camera
cTab_helmetClass_has_HCam = ["BWA3_OpsCore_Schwarz_Camera","BWA3_OpsCore_Tropen_Camera"];

Change display name of a group

Groups are displayed on cTab devices with their groupIDs. To define custom groupIDs, add the following code to the group leader's initialization:

// Change the unit's groupID to "Red Devils"
this setGroupId ["Red Devils"];

Change display name of a vehicle

By default all vehicles will be shown with their group names next to them. This can make it difficult to distinguish multiple vehicles of the same type when they are in the same group. To change that, use the following code in the vehicle's initialization:

// Change this vehicle's identification displayed on all cTab Blue Force Trackers to "Fox"
this setVariable ["cTab_groupId","Fox",true];

Server only settings

Define vehicle types that have FBCB2 or TAD available

To configure the list of vehicle types that have FBCB2 or TAD available, edit the cTab_vehicleClass_has_FBCB2 and cTab_vehicleClass_has_TAD arrays in the configuration file on the server, which can be found in the ArmA 3 folder ...\Arma 3\userconfig\cTab\ctab_settings.hpp.

class cTab_settings {
    cTab_vehicleClass_has_FBCB2[] = {"MRAP_01_base_F","MRAP_02_base_F","MRAP_03_base_F","Wheeled_APC_F","Tank","Truck_01_base_F","Truck_03_base_F"};
    cTab_vehicleClass_has_TAD[] = {"Helicopter","Plane"};
};

Note: This is a server-side setting, i.e. whatever is set on the client-side userconfig will be overridden by the userconfig on the server.

Define helmet classes with enabled helmet camera

To configure the list of helmet classes that enable helmet cameras, edit the cTab_helmetClass_has_HCam array in the configuration file on the server, which can be found in the ArmA 3 folder ...\Arma 3\userconfig\cTab\ctab_settings.hpp. It needs to be within the class cTab_settings (same area as above).

class cTab_settings {
    cTab_helmetClass_has_HCam = {"H_HelmetB_light","H_Helmet_Kerry","H_HelmetSpecB","H_HelmetO_ocamo","BWA3_OpsCore_Fleck_Camera","BWA3_OpsCore_Schwarz_Camera","BWA3_OpsCore_Tropen_Camera"};
};

Note: This is a server-side setting, i.e. whatever is set on the client-side userconfig will be overridden by the userconfig on the server.
