DESCRIPTION
MGI TACTICAL PACK V3 is the follow-up of the HUD TACTICAL GLASSES V2.3… with major changes.

Now, the add-on comes with an interface board in a versatile manner. You can choose what you need but also what you want in action menu. Then, to avoid a too long scrolling list of actions, just adapt it at your convenience.

Furthermore, all your settings, icons on or off, auto-repack or not… are persistent. You can leave Arma 3 and retrieve your choices (see below) at further start.

This add-on is "player" sided. I mean, most your actions and settings are for your local environment. Very few need a dialog (a remote execution) with the server.
– Totally unrestrained options for SP and for mission maker tests (SP or 3DEN multiplayer). Feel free to try all you want. Switchable unit compatible.
– With restrained possibilities while playing on hosted servers, coming from difficulty level on server, but you can choose harder settings.
– With major restrictions or disabled options when player on dedicated servers (some differences for admin).

1 – Tools with difficulty settings or restrictions (see above):

FATIGUE – Instead of enabling/disabling fatigue, weapon sway… I decided to graduate all these parameters from almost zero to Arma engine. The add-on manages the "overloaded" backpack.

TACTICAL ICONS (action in menu is optional) – depending on distance, direct line intersect (along with side), and even knowledge of enemy for hardest skill. (See documentation)

ENABLE PRISONERS – This tool was already in Tactical Glasses V2.3. As it was for SP only, I modified it to make it possible on servers, with very drastic conditions when playing on a dedicated server. For mission makers, these parameters are far easier and you can test your mission quicker than killing enemies! I often use it.

MANAGE GROUP – Already in Tactical Glasses V2.3. – Make units join or dismiss if your rating is better than his.
Attention: You must enable GROUP Situational Awareness before. This option was available after enabling Unit data in previous versions, I changed for GROUP S.A.
Then, right click (temporary zoom) on it and you toggle join/dismiss for this unit.

ALWAYS LEADER – I mean "become the leader of your group". (see conditions)
Work also in SP while switching unit.

2 – Tools available in SP, 3DEN MP only (mission making)

TELEPORTATION (add action in menu) – clearly, in SP or testing your mission, do what you want. But there is no chance to get this tool in MP! (Even if you enabled it in a previous SP mission…)

ARSENAL TEST (add action in menu) – same consideration as for teleportation. In SP, mission testing, you can open arsenal anywhere.

3 – Tool available in hosted servers, not dedicated ones.

ENHANCED CAS / NAPALM – (see readme.txt)

4 – H.A.L.O. – enable HALO jump with Jump and safety altitudes (and your exact amount of ammos in magazines). You need to place an object called MGI_HALO on the map (not a marker!). Then the player has to enable the HALO jump option and close to the object.

5 – Tools with free usage
(see comments)
