### 1.2 BlueForceTracking
*Part of: ace_map*

When adding the "BlueForceTracking" module to your mission it adds map markers to every group on the players side and refreshes them in certain configurable interval (in seconds). The module takes the group type into account and uses the proper NATO icon for each marker.

### 1.3 Check PBOs
*Part of: ace_core*

If you are worried that players haven't updated ACE or other mods to the version you're using on the server, you can place the "Check PBOs" module on your map. You can choose one of three posible actions that are being executed when a player joins that has a wrong version of ACE or an other mod:

* Warn once
* Warn permanent
* Kick

**Settings:**

1. **Action (Option)<br>**
What to do with people who do not have the right PBOs.<br>
`Default value: "Warn once"`

2. **Check all addons (Boolean)<br>**

`Default value: "No"`

3. **Whitelist<br>**
You can make a whitelist of addons that don't have to be on the server. If you want to use the "Check all addons" option of this module and allow the usage of client side modifications like Blastcore or JSRS, you have to list them here.  
The list must be in the following format: `["ADDON1","ADDON2",...]` where the addons are CfgPatches references to all PBOs of the optional mod. To figure these out, you can use the scripting command `activatedAddons` in the editor while those mods are enabled.  

Example 1: @Blastcore-A3:<br>
```sqf
["warfxpe","blastcore_vep"]
```
Example 2: @JSRS:<br>
```sqf
[TBD]
```  
Example 3: @JSRS + @Blastcore-A3:<br>
```sqf
[TBD, "warfxpe","blastcore_vep"]
```

### 1.9 Rallypoint System
*Part of: ace_respawn*

This module was introduced with 0.94 and enables Mission Makers to specificly enable units to move a rallypoint. Every unit that is synced with that module is able to move a rallypoint.

**Note:**
It's important to mention that this doesn't work for player who join during a mission (JIP = Join in progress). That's something we can't change because that's the way Bohemia has implemented their module framework. To enable JIP players to move rally points have a look at [3.1 ACE Rallypoints](#31-ace-rallypoints).
