Extras

In addition to commander tags, the addon also supports the mentor tag, squad markers, party target, and the chat background texture.

I'll add any low hanging fruit that benefits from the existing outline / recolor pipeline as long as I deem it not to provide a competitive advantage.

FAQ

I don't want to use Nexus or Arcdps, can I still use it?

Yes, follow the Standalone DLL Proxy installation instructions.

Can I make the commander tag bigger?

The addon allows for a 20% increase in size, it isn't possible to go any larger as the game doesn't allocate enough space for it.
