ATG Displays

ATG Displays puts a live map on a device a player carries, rather than on the paper map alone. Two devices ship with it, and what they show is a set of displays, each on its own tab. This mod ships one, the map; other mods add their own - logistics, vitals, messages, objectives - by registering a tab, with nothing to configure on this side. THE MILITARY ISSUE TABLET A ruggedised handheld, carried in the gadget slot and raised like any other gadget. The map is read off its own screen, with everything around the character still visible. It takes quick slot 0 as it is picked up, and it can be raised from any vehicle seat. THE ATAK A folding map terminal worn against the chest. It never enters the character's hands: tap the ATAK key (comma by default, under ATG in the controls settings) to fold it open or shut, hold it to go full screen. Everybody nearby sees the lid move; the screen is drawn only for the wearer. It is light and takes little room. This mod ships the device, not the carrier. Which chest slot it clips to is declared by the mod that supplies the vest, so a faction mod of your own can inherit the device and name its slot. FULL SCREEN, AND ONE DEVICE AT A TIME Either device can be thrown up full screen under a cursor, to pan, zoom and move between tabs. Each device remembers the tab it was last left on, and its full-screen view shares that memory. A player carrying both has only one of them up: raising the tablet folds the ATAK shut, and opening the ATAK puts the tablet away. There is one map in a world and only one surface can draw it, so this is what keeps the device in front of the player live. The map is borrowed rather than owned. A Game Master opening the editor Map takes it, and every device belonging to the GM goes blank until the editor map closes. That is intended rather than a fault. TABS OTHER MODS ADD A tab can be offered on some devices and not others: the ATAK is treated as a phone and the tablet as a screen. ATG Signals adds a Sign...
