No annoying ship symbols mod

Post by fruitgnome »

Because they annoyed me I made the ship symbols invisible. It's a difference to pressing 'd' ingame, because the shield status is still shown. Have a look at: not allowed to post a screenshot

Think on backup folder & paste the "shipsymbols" folder in images/ui.

I'm working on another thing which annoys me.

Edit:
URL of the screenshot: pic-upload.de/view-23431569/2014-06-04_163646.jpg.html
I hope this is allowed. (thx @Locarnus 4 this opportunity)

Edit2:
It has one disadvantage the shipsymbols are also invisible if you zoom out, but this is wayne for me ;)

Edit3:
Solved the problem.
Deleted the old download.
Uploaded new file, now the symbols are visible if you zoom out!

If you forgot to backup your files I uploaded in my next reply the mod inc. the orignal files to repair my mod.

It looks good, I think I prefer no markers. What weapon mod do you use?

I downloaded all weapon mods I found and I took the best in my opinion. After taken the screenshot I changed two weapons.

Hmm Im still getting some invisible fleets for some reason? Anyone else getting this? I put the old fleet symbol back and it all works fine. Why does it even need replacing?

Also is there a way to get rid of those flashing cirles around your ships when clicking on a whole fleet?

@Tanaka I don't know what you mean.
To the flashing circles I already postet in the Master Wishlist that they should be modable.

I still get some invisible fleets. Put the old fleet file back in and they reappear. Why does the fleet symbol need to be changed since it is just for the galaxy map?
