Icon Options - Is this possible - Plane icon Only Nothing for Tanks

[DD_Friar]

Salute

Over at the DangerDogz (www.DangerDogz.com) we have for quite a while been using a mod that just puts a coloured square (or triangle, players choice) above the players plane. No names, no ranges, just the dot.

 

We have just started getting into Tank Crew and thoroughly enjoying the mixed equipment scenarios it presents.

 

The problem we have is that playing with icons on is fine for the planes but gives away the tank positions too much.

 

We can get a player navigation icon only on the map (we get lost a lot!) but no one else (prevents "radar") This can be done with server settings.

 

Does anyone know if it would be possible to have plane icons only when flying, but nothing for ground units? (to prevent tank positions being given away from the air and to other tanks.)

 

Any suggestions  / thoughts

 

Regards

Friar

Yes, it's possible, you have to modify the alpha layer in the objects.dds file of the mod you use. (Normally it's a white rectangle in the top row. Fill it with black.)

Or ask for it here if you can't do it yourself:

Salute Sir and many thanks for coming back to me.

What you are saying that is possible is going to make a fantastic amount of difference to the enjoyment / playability of our squad.
