In-game player slots viewer

[SirPetri 15]

Hopefully this makes sense - I'd love to have a way to see what player specialisation/class slots are in-use/available when I'm in-game. Two examples to help explain:

1. "Is there a UAV operator on"? If the UAV operator doesn't respond on TS (could be there is none, they're not in there or they're not listening), it would be helpful to be able to open up map, or maybe a window via the Home key and see if the UAV slot is taken (without having to go back to the lobby).
2. "Is there a spare X slot"? If I'm in-game and thinking about swapping to another specialisation it would be nice if I could see if that's possible (or if it's overpopulated and thus I might pick something else or stay as-is) without aborting the current game and going back to the lobby.

I understand this probably isn't the highest of priorities but I thought I'd throw it out there to, hopefully, add it to the list :)

I tried googling this concept to see if there was anything out there about this but couldn't find anything. Not sure if that's because I don't know enough Arma modding/dev/server/hosting terminology, no one else wants to do this or this isn't possible. I'm happy to research some more but I'd need a bit of a help along with regards to what I'd be looking for.

 

P.S. @=S.N.A.F.U.= might say this is his idea, but I totally voiced it first :D

It was copyrighted by me a few years back... You'll be hearing from my Lawyer soon. 

The reason for this is the way the API passes info to the game. They are 2 separate entities & once the chosen slot is passed to the game, the list ignores the game until you drop out, then the game passes a kill message back. This is why there is a delay. It would require a constant back & forth, that would take a lot of resources arma just doesn't have.

what?

The concept itself is very simple and wouldn't require any more back and forth than what already happens. I can't say if its easy to add to I&A though, I don't know how I&A is set up.
