Default TWoS 2.2.6 - Map Stationary Question

Hi all,

I hate making these noob posts, but god-damn I've been searching the forums and google for a while and come up with nothing so desperation drives me.

I've just reinstalled SH5+TWoS 2.2.6 after not playing for like... 2 years (and I was a super noob back then as well).

I've seen in various videos people of playing TWoS and their map tools (protractor etc) have a couple of key differences..

1) Their tool marks have pretty colours to help differentiate tool marks
2) They are able to adjust their marks once drawn - this is the one I actually care about!

Everything else seems to be working fine and dandy, but I assume one of three things has happened:
1) I've done something wrong (likely)
2) It's an additional mod, but I don't know which one!
3) These videos are for previous versions and this just isn't a thing any more

If one of you fantastic people could throw me a titbit of information to point me in the right direction that would be most excellent.

Cheers,
Dave

When you initially install the game it will take you to a set-up where you can choose colors of the lines that the tools that are drawn see this post

and also this was the option of the initial install

please look at peters post

Thanks both! The burning shame of knowing that I damn well scrolled right past the link from Berbster's FAQ post at least twice is pretty severe - but nothing compared to the realisation that I've had movable markers the whole damn time and I just needed to press the Alt key to select them.

I swear, I'm not normally this dumb.

Thanks for your help, may your torps never be duds!

Cheers,
Dave
