NOT showing certain entries
In order to not show stuff on the radar, just add
- Code: Select all
show="false"
to any of the lines below, which leads to something like
- Code: Select all
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/tumbleweed" text="Tumbleweed" show="false" color="#885A06" />
Prospecting
- Code: Select all
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/minepoint-iron" text="IronPoint" color="#FFFFFF" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/minepoint-copper" text="CopperPoint" color="#BBBB22" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/wellpoint" text="WellPoint" color="#00FF00" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/bumling/bumling-granite" text="GraniteBoulder" color="#CA6700" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/bumling/bumling" text="StoneBoulder" color="#777777" />
Tracking and scents
- Code: Select all
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/leanto" text="Leanto" color="#000000" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/claim" text="Claim" color="#555555" />
<marker match="gfx/fx/clue" text="Scent" color="#00ff00" />
Misc
- Code: Select all
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/blackberrybush" text="Blackberry Bush" color="#7647B3" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/tumbleweed" text="Tumbleweed" color="#885A06" />
<marker match="gfx/borka/body" shape="square" text="Player" color="#FF4040" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/sled" text="Sled" color="#cc5555" />
Note that the "Player" radar will causes false alarms on NPC's.
Finding out new radar lines
There are several ways to find out new radar lines. I myself use the following tactic:
1) Create a new group in the radar called "hidden", with show="false":
- Code: Select all
<group name="hidden" show="false">
</group>
2) Add this line somewhere in a group with show="true":
- Code: Select all
<marker pattern="gfx/.+" color="#999999" />
3) This will cause ALL objects to appear on your radar. Now you can weed out the ones that are not of interest. As an example, I was looking for the radar line on scents, and had a scent available inside a townhouse. The walls kept spamming the radar, so I edited the group to be:
- Code: Select all
<group name="hidden" show="false">
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/arch/hwall"/>
</group>
This caused the walls to be hidden, so the scent radar hit was visible. I can assume the process is harder outside, but this should work as well.
Finding out new radar lines, option 2
If you fancy a bit of guessing and have a fast search engine, you can also search your computer for <name>.cached. The name will have to be the filename of the respective resource file (which is the one you put in the radar). It requires some guessing, and isn't always straightforward (for example, scents being called clues). Note that not all entities can be found like this, i'm not quite sure yet about which can and which cannot.

Ask here, we might know.
