Is there a way to switch our radar icons back to the ones before? These new ones look good but they're too bulky for my taste and they blend in a bit too well with the landscape. Makes it hard to actually see what is around me.

There should be a few posts around the forums that talk about editing your radar files for custom clients etc.

I haven't seen a cougar yet on the map, but I'm thinking it won't resemble crickets as strongly as before. That's nice.

This can be done in a matter of minutes, I just don't have a fresh copy of the radar before the patch.

i know a bit about it... but i don't know how to enable/disable individual icons.

there is a way to enable/disable all icons tho...


wish i knew how to change the icons... i would also like the old grass icon for the set up i am using...

a nice idea for a Tech guy, write a small tool that has checkboxes for every item that appears on the minimap and you can select what you like or dont and its written to a text file

you can just add show="true" or show="false" to individual entries, it's not that hard.
That said, I'd have to look into removing these icons again, as I don't like them - they blend into the minimap too well and they're pretty big.

yah the show true/false is for the entry it's self... not for icons as far as i know.

example:

<group name="Rattle Snake" show="true" shape="down" tooltip="true" color="#FF5050">
<marker pattern="gfx/kritter/rattler/.+" text="Rattler" />
</group>

or

<group name="Rattle Snake">
<marker pattern="gfx/kritter/rattler/.+" show="true" shape="down" text="Rattler" tooltip="true" color="#FF5050" />
</group>

lets you see the Rattler on the minimap.. but doesn't effect if it uses the icon or not.
