WD Warhawk BFT 3.4.0

- New: CENTER ON ME. Lost your arrow after panning around the map? Click the CENTER ON ME button under the grid panel at the top of the map, press Home, or on a controller click the Left Stick (L3). The map slides back to you and keeps its zoom. Change the key or button in Settings > Controls > WD Warhawk BFT, under Map.

WD Warhawk BFT 3.3.0

- Smoother frame rate: the friendly tags, the mini map, the map and the casualty list now share one list of friendly AI, refreshed 4 times a second, instead of each going through every soldier near you every frame. The tags also check line of sight to far-off friendlies less often (up to about half a second past 300 m, where a tag appearing a moment late is hard to see) and no longer create new objects every frame.
- Removed: the Shaded mini map terrain. Redrawing and turning its shaded ground as you moved and looked around cost frames. Map (the map's own picture) and Off remain. If you had Shaded picked, the mini map now starts with no ground; pick Map on the tablet's BFT tab if you want it.

3.2.1

WD Warhawk BFT 3.2.1

- Fixed: the game's own squad markers (the boxed squad flag with "Squad (Callsign) (Role)" text, and the squad member markers) no longer stack on top of BFT's player icons on the map. BFT already shows every friendly player, with the SL box on squad leaders.

- New: every BFT action works on a controller. Lase, and CONTACT after it: tap D-pad Left + Y (Triangle on PlayStation) together. Holding them is still the game's dismiss-hint and never lases. Everything else is a button on TALON's BFT TOOLS tab. Keyboard keys are unchanged.
- New: TRACK CASUALTY on BFT TOOLS, and /bft track. It tracks the nearest downed friendly on your compass with the red heartbeat diamond, no map or mouse needed. Press it again to stop.
- New: MINI MAP OPACITY on the BFT tab: 100, 80, 60 or 40 %. Starts at 100, so nothing changes until you pick one.
- Changed: while BFT's friendly tags are on, the game's own name tags are hidden, so a friendly's name no longer shows twice. Turn BFT's tags OFF and the game's own come back.
- Changed: on the BFT tab, FRIENDLY TAGS and the compass rows now sit under one TAGS AND COMPASS header, so every row fits on the screen.
- Guides: getting started, and every button on keyboard, PS5 and Xbox, at warhawkdivision.com/bft

3.1.1

WD Warhawk BFT 3.1.1

- New: MINI MAP TERRAIN on the tablet's BFT tab shows the ground under the mini map. MAP uses the map's own picture (woods, roads, sea), on any map that has one, modded maps included. SHADED draws hills shaded from the terrain, and the sea. With either on, every dot and marker sits on a small dark disc so it stands out. OFF by default, so nothing changes until you pick one.
- New: downed friendlies show a red diamond with a heartbeat instead of the red cross, on the map, the mini map, the friendly tags and the compass. The line draws across and the diamond pulses outward until they get up or die. Suggested by MoreLikeRock.

WD Warhawk BFT 3.0.0
- Changed: BFT now needs WD Core, a small shared mod that holds the field tablet. It downloads automatically with BFT; there is nothing to install. The old BFT settings panel is gone: press ' for the TALON tablet from WD Core. Click the side buttons, or use Q and E, to switch tabs. Left and right (D-pad) step a setting, a click or right goes to the next value.
- New: BFT adds three tabs. BFT (mini map, friendly tags, compass), BFT TOOLS (map, reports and action buttons) and BFT ADMIN (admins and Game Masters only).

- New: MARKER SIZE (small, medium, large) for the map markers, and CASUALTY PANEL on or off.
- New: LASE LINE 5, 10 or 15 seconds.
- New: buttons for POSITION REPORT, MARK BEARING, MILS / DEGREES and TAGS RANGE, so they work on a controller or when another mod has taken the key.

- New for admins: BFT ADMIN tab, /bft set <key> <value> and /bft reload change the server limits live. The server checks admin or Game Master on every change and every player gets it at once. /bft set rewrites WD_BFT_Server.txt, so comments added by hand are dropped.
- Moved: NIGHT PALETTE and DIM HUD IN DARK are now on WD Core's TABLET tab. Players keep their earlier choices.
- Note: under the night palette, the BFT HUD is capped at 70 percent opacity.
- New: settings panel redesigned as a rugged field tablet on the right. Its screen is see-through, so the HUD stays in view and you see each change live. Settings grouped into MINI MAP, FRIENDLY TAGS, COMPASS and DISPLAY. Left and right arrows (D-pad) step back and forward. ' closes it again.
- New: NIGHT PALETTE (AUTO, ON, OFF). At night the compass, tags and mini map switch to dim night-vision greens so they don't glare over your goggles. Casualties pulse. AUTO goes by the game clock.
- Changed: map markers are about half the size (32 to 56 px instead of 72 to 128), with smaller callsigns.
- New: the mini map shows E, S and W as well as N, in your compass colour.
- Fixed: friendlies on the mini map showed as black squares instead of blue and cyan dots.

1.3.1

WD Warhawk BFT 1.3.1

- New: friendly AI get a tag too: a blue diamond marked FRIENDLY. They show as blue dots on the mini map as well.
- Changed: the compass sits closer to the bottom of the screen and is softer, so it is less bright at night.
- Fixed: the pointer on each map marker's ring was cut off at the tip, and the view cone at its edge. Both now show in full, with their outline.
