Spooner has released v0.3.0 of his SPON map script for Armed Assault. The script allows players to make freehand drawings, as well as place markers in a more manageable/intuitive way. The choice of exactly who to send this information to is extended from the "vanilla" ArmA options.

v0.3.0
- Added

• Introduced "Pen" mode of drawing.
• Introduced "Ellipse" mode of drawing.
• Introduced "Rectangle" mode of drawing.
• Added simple digital clock display to show current time (HH:MM:SS).
• Added a timestamp (HH:MM) on all placed markers and lines
• many many more

da12thMonkey released some info on how things are looking with the UKF mod.



So what has been going on in the last few months behind the doors at UKF? Well, we've made progress with quite a number of projects, mostly still in O2 and buldozer however. Among these is a completely reworked and remodeled infantry pack by Chris, who's fighting the joys of organic modeling to bring us a comprehensive set of British infantry units for ArmA. Jeff is playing with MAN trucks, and Swift and Benny are continuing their sterling work on the CVR(T) series of vehicles. Orson, as ever, is working on his Warriors, and he's continually impressing us with how far they've come since the OFP release.

However, a few major addons recently begun their life in ArmA, with help from RKSL with the configs, and have been seen roaming amongst the villages of Sahrani. Amongst these are Messiah's Land Rovers. It is certainly early days, as we have planned a large and quite ambitious pack, but we feel these will introduce a varied and useful selection of British vehicles into ArmA. Currently planned are:

- Land Rover TUM (Wolf)

• Desert, Green, Green/Black, BATUS Versions
• Soft and Hard Top Versions
• FFR (Fitted for Radio) Version

- Land Rover WMIK

• Desert/Green Versions
• GPMG, HMG, GMG Weapon Systems
• 'TELIC' Version (Older model with older kit)
• 'HERRICK' Version (Current EWMIK model with current kit)
• LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) Version

- Land Rover Pulse Battlefield Ambulance

• Desert, Green, Green/Black Versions- Land Rover Snatch
• Desert/Northern Ireland Versions

Please bear in mind that these are only just BETA status. They are extremely naked and clean, and still have a lot of things to be added and altered. The troops and the weapons are our old DPM 2 pack from OFP and the ported UKF weapons. Don't get too excited.
