Positions black and white in MP?

[Flashy]

Hi All,

 

I am having a bit of trouble trying to get the positions type 0 translators working properly in an MP mission. In SP, they look fine and are properly coloured red and blue as follows:

 

 

but in MP they are always black and white, regardless of RGB values or coalitions:

 

What gives? Is there any way to change this translator to be in colour? And , if not, what other methods do others use for displaying front lines in MP? I have drawn them out and used a border line, and it looks okay, but there must be an alternative that looks a bit better than this:

 

 

Thanks!

Is it a dogfight multiplayer mission?

If yes, you need to select a side first.

Yep, dogfight. But selecting a side doesnt seem to change the colour, its always just black and white...

Thats odd. I have a little example mission here, try it out. The colours of the positions type 0 lines will change depending if you select the german or russian 109.

Edit: The example mission is a Dogfight Multiplayer type.

If you allow me to do a wild, uneducated guess.

The Airfields are set to german, russian and not neutral?

Ah! found the issue - the RGB value has to be set to 255,255,255 for each translator icon or else it wont work. I had mine set to be slightly darker and that breaks the functionilty of the icon. Thanks again Leon!

Confirmed - I was having the same issue for a SP mission and I set up a simple test with 3 icon translators and a lone P38 parked. Without setting a country for the P38 the line generated by selecting "Positions 0" was black and white. Once I set the P38 to U.S. and tested the line was now Red and Blue.
