I'm busy losing my marbles here :damn:
I would like to get rid of this image on the attack map as well as the normal Nav map. I've seen this image somewhere, but you think I can find it when I need to.. HEEELLLP. I am just going to blank out the alpha channel to get rid of it.

This is from the stock game

Thanks for any help

im pretty sure its just the NSS_Balao_shp image file that does it

open all the sub files and change the _shp files out to the generic black spot one useed for all of the new added ships for the game and just rename one for each sub :up:

OK.. thanks Web.. that got rid of the attack map icon..
The next problem is the 'tail' which still exists in the normal map..

I thought that it might be the 'Fade.dds' file but no luck here..
I'll scour the folders but if anyone has a shortcut... :D:D
:yeah:

Sorry to be a bother...
I cannot find this image.. it looks like a tail section or wake, which rotates behind the sub.

Another thought is that it might be in the config files. ???

Anybody have any ideas

try rockin robbbins

i think he did or maybe undid the tmo plot mod so he may know where that one is

i know he sent me a PM about adding tmo plot to GFO and there was a mod to undo it i could use as a patch but maybe it was someone elses mod. i just felt i didnt want to change the plotting in GFO

There are two files, contline.dds and dashline.dds, in the \data\menu\gui directory. Copy those two files from TMO and you'll have it.

Thanks :yeah:
I'd thought those lines were for course plotting only.
