Post subject:  Supply truck delivery points.

I know what You are thinking... "Can't you just shut up Modest already?!". Sorry ;) Not going to happen, as i have yet another small suggestion.

On invasion you can steel enemy supply truck, and deliver it to your armory in order to get 400 RP. Great. But I was having (and not only I, some new guys as well) problem to find where exacly you need to go with truck in order to complite delivery. So I wan't to suggest that insted of mystical "next to armory", we should have cargo truck delivery points (which of course could be next to armories - I do not see reason why not). Those delivery points should be marked well, so they are visible easily. How to mark them? How about by "painting" road just like we do in real life when we want some place to be reserved for certian type of vehicles.

Like here: http://g.gazetaprawna.pl/p/_wspolne/pli ... 28094-.jpg

That would make things much less troublesome, and nicer. And moreover it would help new players a lot I suppose... I remember my own irritation when I was for the first time riding with supply truck around armory with no effect for like 15 minutes... Such scenarios would not have place if this suggestion would be implemented in every map.

As mentioned in viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1190

It goes without saying that the game needs to seriously step up the usability area and offer better direction on what to do and where to go (but not too much, mind you), and we're slowly but surely getting there. So far we haven't paid much at all attention to this area as we've got our hands full on other (less boring) stuff :lol: Now that we've finally reached 0.90, we can start to look into usability too.

Anyway, currently you can deliver the cargo truck to armories, or the hangars and camo tents that actually look like something you should drive a vehicle into, armories are marked on the map. 0.89 has several serious bugs related to cargo truck delivery objective, so chances are it didn't even work most of the time.

HAHAHAHAHAHA :D I was like hundreds times thinking "Hey! Maybe I should park it in that camo net, where usually tank spawns?", but afther that I was like "Oh, don't be stupid. That is no armory!" :D

Ehh... I looked at Your "Roadmap" plenty of times, but... I am sorry - I should have connect this with objective marker. I just though that objective marker is only marker on minimap. Thank You for fast reply :)

I'm not entirely sure what the marker will end up looking like, but currently I'm seeing it both as map marker and a variation on the squad command marker to be put on the field. Hovering on the marker should display some more info about it, e.g. for how long the objective has been on going, what to do, and if it's multistage (like item delivery could mean delivering x amount of somethings, the usual stuff) it would need to show progress as well for instance.
