Why, in the "Terrain" folder, of course!...

But seriously, "Game / Data / Terrain / LocationMaps" and all of the 'marker' files' names begin with the letter "O_", such as "O_Patrol.dds", which is the star with a binoculars on it. There are also the "O_Patrol_G.dds" type files that are the "Greyed" stars with the checkmark in them, for when you complete a patrol.

Are you thinking of trying to make them somewhat transparent, so a person could see "through" them? or just make them a light color?...

Ohh thank you mister Propbeanie
Hopefully you are always here to help everyone!

Just thinking to reduce their size for OM...they are too big like in vanilla

Ahhh yeshhh - large stars... you are more than welcome.

Just copy them from your other favorite mod, of course, and paste in OM. I've tried to make them semi-transparent with PS, more like a part of the map instead of a paste-on, but my skills are not there yet. Maybe a color change...

You can't use the opacity slider to make them more transparent?

One of the best image manipulation programs I've used is DXTBmp from here;

http://www.mwgfx.co.uk/

Open the DDS file, click Alpha, send alpha to editor. Works with any image editor including plain vanilla Windows Paint. After changing the white to a medium gray, save then go back to DXTBmp to click refresh alpha, then save the DDS file.
