This mod replaces the 'hand and finger' cursor with traditional cursors:

- White for most things
- Red for unit move destinations

This doesn't seem to work when placed in the Graphic Override folder, so I placed mine in the main game install graphics/cursors folder.

When viewing the folders, the cursor images might not appear to have changed, but once you restart the game, you should have your new cursors.

White cursor

Red cursor when unit move path is active

Nice one. I retrieved the TOAWIII cursors from the ObsoleteCursors folder. That little finger in TOAWIV is too small

These are much better. Thanks.

The obsolete ones look... well... obsolete, so I decided not to use them.

Same here!

What's really strange is that when I accidentally deleted the files and re-started the game with no cursors in any of the folders, there were still OPART-style cursors in the game... That's after a full restart.

I'm from the TOAWIII old guard, consider me a traditionalist[:D]

Thanks, nice improvement. [:)]

Made a slight change; in the game 'graphic/Cursors' folder, took a copy of the arrow file 'northeas.cur', renamed it as 'cursor1.cur' (overwriting the original), so now I get the mod white cursor image to search the map, but whenever the cursor touches something where an action is possible, like a stack to shuffle, a button that can be used, the cursor changes to the larger red arrow, as a prompt that an action is possible.

If there is nothing to be done, then the cursor stays standard white and this works in all game screens.

thanks for your work!
