TWoS 2.2.6 - Map Stationary Question

[cavedox]

Hi all,

I hate making these noob posts, but god-damn I've been searching the forums and google for a while and come up with nothing so desperation drives me.

I've just reinstalled SH5+TWoS 2.2.6 after not playing for like... 2 years (and I was a super noob back then as well).

I've seen in various videos people of playing TWoS and their map tools (protractor etc) have a couple of key differences..

1) Their tool marks have pretty colours to help differentiate tool marks
2) They are able to adjust their marks once drawn - this is the one I actually care about!

Everything else seems to be working fine and dandy, but I assume one of three things has happened:
1) I've done something wrong (likely)
2) It's an additional mod, but I don't know which one!
3) These videos are for previous versions and this just isn't a thing any more

If one of you fantastic people could throw me a titbit of information to point me in the right direction that would be most excellent.

Cheers,
Dave

When you initially install the game it will take you to a set-up where you can choose colors of the lines that the tools that are drawn see this post

Thanks both! The burning shame of knowing that I damn well scrolled right past the link from Berbster's FAQ post at least twice is pretty severe - but nothing compared to the realisation that I've had movable markers the whole damn time and I just needed to press the Alt key to select them.

I swear, I'm not normally this dumb. :hmmm:

Thanks for your help, may your torps never be duds!

Cheers,
Dave
