not map contacts, just kill markers

schlechter pfennig · 04-25-10, 04:19 PM

I don't want my map showing ships, courses, etc. But is there a way of adding the 'sunk ship' markers to the map? I'd like to be able to 'pencil-in' the locations where I've sunk ships.

It would be so uber-cool if Commander could have, per-patrol, map copies that showed sunk ships as part of the patrol logs.

That too is one of my gripes with having Map Contacts off. I don't want the other stuff, but the red sunken ship marker would be nice. I do use my pencil tool to make those marks but sometimes I use the Erase All button then they're gone....

You might try Mikhayl's Contact Mod.

Could I have a link, or be pointed in the right direction please?

Danke!

(I think I've found the one, compliments of privateer's help. It's not what I was looking for; probably didn't explain myself too well. I just want to add kill/sunk markers to the already-existing GWX map contact modifications.)

Not sure if this is what you want but here's a link.

Not sure if it is, either, but I'll go take a peek.

Thanks!

So far I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for.

I'm running GWX 3.0. I don't want to add anything to the way map contacts work except a way to add the 'ship sunk' markers to the map.

You have Map Contact Updates on, but it removes everything but the one ship you focus on. Therefore the sunk ship markers are still there.

Danke! I'll have to look into this!
