[REQ] - Replace glowing crew with cursor change

[Onkel Neal]

Ok, the first person you come up with a nice mod that stops the crew from looking radioactive everytime the mouse pointer nears them, with a cursor change, will win a nice warm Subsim Sweater.

Just make the glow go away :shucks: When I move my mouse pointer over a clickable object, the pointer will change to something, a little fist or leather glove or something.
Preferably, the ALT key will still light up all clickable objects and crew... if that can be done.

thanks!

Now that is the way to get mods made!

[capthelm]

figured i would create a thread on this, many sim heads do not like this effect in sh5.

remove crew glow effect, anyone that has the sim already could look into this one, see if we can disable that.
when i get my copy, its first thing i am doing. =remove crew glow

[capthelm]

nice one neal.

[capthelm]

maybe the dev team will make a patch on this, create it in options

check box remove crew highlight.

[Webster]

neal sorta beat you to it, see here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162596


but he said if or when you do the mod that fixes it, you'll get a sweater from him :up:

I beat Neal to it, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=162050 :yeah:. It was mentioned ten days ago in the Mods to do thread. The US/Canadian modders have an unfair advantage with their early release shennanigans!

[Schultzy]

Yep, this one is a modding must... I mean, since when did the type 7 have a nuclear reactor. ;)

Or is the Cook serving up Ready-Brek when he gets to level 3?!

I can see the glow being easy to remove, but converting the cursor to something else... that might be tricky.

The videos show the cursor already changes from the pointer to a hand when it goes over a highlighted object. If that needs changed, cursors are just graphics files. SHIV has them in MouseCurs folder. This one is probably the same.

I hope the glow turns out to be as easy.

[Nisgeis]

Oh weird, I read Neal's request as he wanted the cursor to change when he moved the mouse over a clikable object... Maybe he hasn't noticed, or the preview version didn't have it? I never noticed that in SH4, only the objects being highlighted.

Yep, you're right about the cursor--hand. Look, now the job is halfway done, :haha: just remove the glow for crew members! (But if possible, leave it on equipment when the ALT key is depressed.)

May I merge these topics?

Er... is this a trick question? Of course you may! :D. Early release regions still have an advantage though!

There is a section called [InteractiveObjectsHighlight].
Set "Blend" to zero.

Confirmed. Thanks.

Although it gets rid of it entirely. Would be nice if it would only show when holding the "Show Interactions key" (.ie Alt key). But hey, im not complaining!!!!! I can live without it.

[Onkel Neal]

Well, I wanted to clear it with the OP, before I started moving stuff aorund :)

no need for that either cursor already goes into a hand if you look. , remove the glow thats all is needed

if you look close the cursor does infact form into a hand i think as well. so no worries there.

just remove the crew glow.
