Black Map Contacts Mod v.1.1

All map contacts, friendly, enemies and neutral units, are now black in the map so you have to identify the unit flag before attacking. Also sonar line is black for both, merchants and warships.

More challenge to the gameplay and more realism added if you play with Map Contacts Update turned on...

*Note 1: Lifeboats and survivors are still colored in blue/red to help in Rescue missions.

**Note 2: I converted all the stock ships, airplanes and subs. If you are using more imported units from packs or SH3 see the readme included.


Enjoy! :up:

Nice one man, cheers!:up:

Good work!
could you make a version which removes the zoomed in contacts (the ship, boat or plane shaped ones)????
Prease, as the japanese would say...:)

Outstanding :up:

[GuillermoZS]

Thanks! ;)

Yeah, it´s possible. Good idea :up: Give me one day and I´ll upload a new version without the icons. I have to modify every ship´s file individually and takes a while ;)

Cheers!

[AntEater]

Thanks a lot!
Because black contacts WITH course markers but no zoomed in version (hence no cheating with the position marker on the attack map) is about the realism level I want.
The assisted plotting mod is too little info for me, because as a virtual captain I have at least one stupid ensign to do the plotting for me :D

[Egan]

There is an assisted plotting mod for Sh4? never knew that.

Bummer this isen't compatible with the 360 Bearing mod...any chance they can be merged?

Edit* seems dds converter wont open the shp files from the 360 bearing mod...
would really like to merge these mods.
Maybe CC can lend some wisdom?

Hi,

I don´t use the 360 bearing tool. I´ll download it and see how to solve it :up:

[NefariousKoel]

That'd be great Guillermo!

That would be great, thankyou :up:

[GuillermoZS]

:up:Hi,

360º Bearing Tool mod compatible version now available. Tell me if you have any issues using it :up:

**edit: lol I have just noticed that there were no need to change the incompatible files (my fault :damn:), so I´ll upload a unified and definitive version right now...

***edit2: Version 1.1 uploaded and full compatible with the great 360º Bearing Tools by CaptainCox

Enjoy!

[shad43]

Great work, thanks very much :D

[Marko_Ramius]

Great man, nice work :up:


Just my 2cts but, instead of removing the zoom-in icons, i'd prefer using a generic icon for all ship. I you see what i mean, what do you think of this ?

[stephenf555]

I know this thread is very old, but I'm looking for a mod to do exactly this, and the links here are kaput. Anybody know of a link for this or another mod that does likewise (but not TMO or RFB).
Thanks.

[stephenf555]

legend, thanks. :up:
(I did search myself for it but obviously made a bit of a ballast of it)

[stephenf555]

ah, just realised that you actually went and uploaded it yourself...thanks very much!
