I didn't like the somewhat silver crosses on the map, while on it I changed the mission objective marker too, a minor improvement maybe ;).

Ignore the text please this mod is only about the crosses :)
To the left the default version and at the right side the mod.

Installation with JSGME

Installation without JSGME
##########################
1. Browse to your sh5 directory as example for me it's
Z:\Programme\Ubisoft\Silent Hunter 5\
2. Go to data\Menu\Gui find the file named "StrategicMapNew" and make a copy of it first.
3. Now move the file from the mod overwriting the sh5 stock version. You can switch back to default anytime using the backup you made.

Nice one but I'd prefer a transparent cross for the placeholder rather than a pure black one.

I hope the OP can change the black ones into 90% transparancy or something. The black crosses sort of stand out too much imo.

Also, if I may be abit picky, the cross used on the map to indicate locations, are not centered inside the circle. I would draw a new cross with pixel width/height +1.

@Decoman, KayeM
Thanks for feedback. Transparency for the black crosses? Yes I think that can be done will look into this.

@Decoman
Good eyes it's 1 pixel shifted to the right due to the circle and it's size (uneven). I might remover the circle completely though and put only the cross on the map, hmm will check this out too.

However since SH5 is extremly bugged from my point of view I've deinstalled it for now and waiting for patches which fix things up. Until then all this is on hold.
