How to disable plants on minimap

Postby benjaminy » Sun Apr 26, 2015 5:06 pm

Hi, my minimap is cluttered by all these honeysuckle kudzu, is there a way I can disable the purple triangles (or yellow squares or ...) on my minimap? I have a hard time finding forageables this way. :) thanks in advance!

Your options are 1) use the default client
2) search the forums before posting to find the very recent and very explicit description of how to do just this
3) search the forums and find Judaism's radar.xml download that removes all the spammy stuff.

But yes good advice for the long run would be to get used to searching at least a good few minutes for a solution, as most of the time it's already been asked and responded to :) I say this because with the release coming up, there will be a flood of new players and if everyone makes a new post for the same issue, the mods' heads might explode having to merge/moderate all the repeats is all.

Thank you for the quick response, I'm sorry I didn't look it up in the forum first, won't do it again, I promise :)

If you feel you can safely edit your radar.xml file (found in your salem folder) manually, then adding this at the end of the groups will sort everything out:

<group name="hidden" show="false">
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/autumngrass" text="Autumn Grass" color="#bab080" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/daisy" text="Daisy" color="#aeaece" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/rottenlog" text="Rotten Log" color="#aeaece" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/fern" text="Fern" color="#aeaece" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/reeds" text="Reeds" color="#aeaece" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/honeysucklekudzu" text="Honeysuckle Kudzu" color="#ee82ee" />
<marker match="gfx/terobjs/herbs/gneiss" text="Gneiss" color="#ee82ee" />
</group>


The stuff listed here won't appear on your radar. That's what I decided I didn't need it to track, and it works fine for me.

For more info, Kandarim (thanks again) showed me this old link: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=6708

PS I am using Latikai's client, and the link is for Ender's client. It still works on Latikai's, though.

Good luck!

Yup, just open radar.xml with notepad and add those lines
