Icons Question

[BP_Lizard]

I have downloaded a dogfight multiplayer mission where icons were disabled. They remained disabled even if they were ticked in my server realism settings. 

Can they be enabled on the mission editor? How do I go about with it?

Thanks for the help.

Post the link to the downloaded mission...

Maybe there are other reasons...

 

But usually if you set the realism settings to 'show icons' they should be shown

Icons have an Enabled checkbox in the advanced properties. Some of the icons could be disabled. You can disable/enable them in a running mission using the deactivate/activate trigger MCUs. See "Example: Create a Moving Front Line" on pg. 151 of the editor manual.

Thank you very much. It’s Tx_Tips’ Operation Market Garden mission at the bottom of the first post.

Had a short look at the mission...

 

I guess the 'icons' you talk about are the 'unit descriptions'

located in 'Lines July 6th' (subgroup of 'July 6th Lines w 2TC Units')

 

There are a lot of icons, some of them are 'named', and some of them also contain a 'description'

All of them are 'enabled'

But none of them is an Icon that will be shown as a symbol.

You should only see the 'name' on the map and on mouseover on the map the 'description'

Okay BP_Lizard.

Not sure why you're having this issue. Object Icons are not disabled within the mission. 

 

I downloaded the latest version and played "Phase One" of Operation Market Garden using the Games DF server software with Object Markers set within Realism: Custom.

This would be the same as an Independent D_Servers settings of:

<Manage SDS>

Dialog <Presets> "Custom"/Object Icons checked.

 

Icons both Informative and Objects themselves are visible.

@[DBS]Tx_Tip and all the others who rendered their help, thank you very much for taking the time to look into it. 
After spending much time and having no resolution, I have reinstalled the game which fixed the issue. 
Many thanks to all.
