Craters, Crosses, and Contrast

Post by JPV511 »

Craters and Red Crosses are difficult to distinguish. It would help if the colors could be adjusted on either of these map icons. Thanks for "listening". Great game BTW. :)

The crater and crosses art files (simple .pngs) are in Modules\Common\Map Markers. You can clone the ones you want to change into the Modules\Common\Map Markers\Custom folder, and tweak the art file to improve contrast for you.
The game will prefer custom art from the Custom folder over the default.

That'll work, thank you WildCat! I appreciate how easy it was to modify those markers! No need to back up, program points to the mod at runtime. Nice!

I also posted a mod for the wrecks and crosses in the Mods sub-forum that improves the color and contrast of the kill markers, if you want to try it out.

Thanks for that, Capn! They are an improvement.
