I don’t deserve a halo

Post by Hub6Actual »

Thank you for the 337 update. Just one thing: how can I get rid of the vehicle halos in the subunit dashboard? Not really a fan of those. I hunted around, but nothing jumped out at me. Is there something in one of the .ini files I can change?

Both halos can be turned off or on from the Options menu.

Sorry, not seeing anything. Fiddled with various knobs, no joy. To be clear, please see the pic.

If this option is unchecked, all haloes on the map and in the dashboard disappear. You may need to reload the dashbaord to repaint the subunits, but it is working.

Initially, that option was checked as on but greyed out for me. I just figured out I had to turn off “Show NATO Unit Counters,” then uncheck “Show Unit Counter Halo,” then reselect “Show NATO Unit Counters.” All okay now. I had assumed that the setting only referred to the on map unit chits.

Thanks for your help and sorry for the time sink.
