Black Map Contacts Mod v.1.1

by Guillermo Zulueta, May 4th 2007.

http://hosted.filefront.com/GuillermoZS/ "BlackMapContactsv1.1.rar"

All map contacts, friendly, enemies and neutral units, are now black in the map so you have to identify the unit flag before attacking. Also sonar line is black for both, merchants and warships.

More challenge to the gameplay and more realism added if you play with Map Contacts Update turned on...

*Note 1: Lifeboats and survivors are still colored in blue/red to help in Rescue missions.

**Note 2: I converted all the stock ships, airplanes and subs. If you are using more imported units from packs or SH3 see the readme included.

Enjoy!

Nice one man, cheers!

Good work!
could you make a version which removes the zoomed in contacts (the ship, boat or plane shaped ones)????
Prease, as the japanese would say...

Yeah, it´s possible. Good idea

Give me one day and I´ll upload a new version without the icons. I have to modify every ship´s file individually and takes a while

Cheers!

Thanks a lot!
Because black contacts WITH course markers but no zoomed in version (hence no cheating with the position marker on the attack map) is about the realism level I want.
The assisted plotting mod is too little info for me, because as a virtual captain I have at least one stupid ensign to do the plotting for me

There is an assisted plotting mod for Sh4? never knew that.

I know this thread is very old, but I'm looking for a mod to do exactly this, and the links here are kaput. Anybody know of a link for this or another mod that does likewise (but not TMO or RFB).
Thanks.

legend, thanks.

(I did search myself for it but obviously made a bit of a ballast of it)
