One other quick note Duruk. The icons you see on the map are controlled by the various UnitMship and UnitWship .tga files in the <yourmaininstall>/data/menu/gui/units path.
Only NYGM 2.5 has these files. I suspect if you compare the above tga files in your install, you'll find they are not the same as those in NYGM 2.5. Many times a simple date created check of the files will show a difference.

Also checked the tga's as advised, the ones I believe are relevant (UnitMShip.tga, UnitMShipL.tga, UnitMShipM.tga) are the same files in the game directory and NYGMV2.5 mod (all created on 7.10.2005). Anyway thanks again for helping, would appreciate any other insights. Current Mod List NYGM Tonnage War V2.5 1500 meter bearing overlay (optional from NYGM V2.5 - not overwritten by any other mod) CaptainAmericaOfficerIcons (optional from NYGM V2.5 - not overwritten by any other mod) Enhanced Nav Map Plotting Tools (optional from NYGM V2.5 - not overwritten by any other mod) NYGM Tonnage War Minefield Mod (optional from NYGM V2.5 - not overwritten by any other mod) NYGM3 New NYGM_6F NYGM_2017A Harbor Traffic Add-In Hitman Optics NYGM 3.6 (Fixed) IABLShipsforNYGM Alternate Dial Faces Radio Deutchland Radio England Radio Francais Radio USA NYGM HiRes Submarines 3_6F Supplement to V16B1 (JSGME) Stiebler4C Addon for V16B1 O2-Gauges v2 (from h.sie's patchkit / but will remove this since couldn't get this to work either, eventhough I select the related mod from the options selector) EnvSimAct_10 |

Some notes though: - You don't need both the "Alternate Dial Faces" mod and H.sie's 02 Gauges mod. One or the other. Fwiw, all H.sie's mod does is change the CO2 gauge into an O2 gauge but it's kind of handy. - Make sure you have the latest version of the "Harbor Traffic" mod. All it is is the campaign.scr file, but with any NYGM mod, you want to start at the newest version of it which would be in the 2017 documentation folder for the Harbor mod. 2017 added a new .scr file, hence the new Harbor Traffic file. If you're not using the 2017 folder version of the Harbor Traffic mod, it is overwriting your 2017 scr file which would not be good. Your other listed NYGM mods (I've not used them) are not found in any other documentation folder other than what you have listed, so they're good to go. If you haven't already, take a look at the various folders and you'll see what I mean. - Put Hitman's mod last or at least after the H.sie/Stiebler mods. Those two mods can overwrite some in Hitman's mod (i.e., english menu. txt and commands.cfg) if you put your originals of these files into the mods for editing as their readmes mention. Regarding the icons, you should never see any ship icon at any level in NYGM stock. Are you saying when you found that convoy, it's ships icons were visible ? If so, something is still not correct. What icons appear on the map is a simple process of the tga files in the units folder, so strange. Only had time for a quick glance a things, I'll look again later. Check your pm too.

The fact that it happens only in the campaign (not in single missions) and seemingly only when there are more than one merchant makes it even weirder. It may suggest it is caused by something affecting the campaign files. Anyway, will try with a new configuration if I'll have time tomorrow and will hope NYGM be a little generous with convoys |

You are correct; things are pointing to your campaign files. In your list, the mods that have campaign files are 2017, Harbor Traffic, and IABL ships. Regarding H.sie's patch, did you merge his wolfpack file with your campaign.scr file ? If so, that isn't needed as 2017 has that already done. Confusing, I know.

Just wanted to have another quick try. Removed Harbor Traffic and Alternate Dial Faces (the O2 gauges still don't show by the way but that's not too important), and moved Hitman Optics to the end. 4096'd TC from sh commander, went for a quick search for a convoy, of course got spotted by a trawler and got DC'ed a bit, finally found the convoy, yet... the screenshot happened Those icons were not visible at a lower zoom, yet available at one more higher zoom by the way. I will try by removing IABL ships tomorrow. Will let you know |

That is the tga giving you those icons in your screenshot. If you don't want them, simply rename them all (i.e. tgx) or delete them all. I'd suggest making a JSGME mod to do such. If you're not sure how to do that, I'll make one up for you. Very easy.

There are 22 folders in the Sea folder of that mod, I suppose I should delete or rename all of their shp.tga files, right? A separate mod would be nicer for future use, yet I wouldn't want to trouble you anymore with making a mod specifically for me. Can you advise how I can get to overwrite tga files with tgx files? I'm glad that the case seems to be solved with my enthusiasm to play not completely gone (it has been 5 days of trials and errors) Thank you again for your help and to the nice people who wrote all these great modes |

Don’t delete them...just copy past the NKLs_ship.tga in all the ships folder (renaming it accordingly to the ship folder of course) and all ships icons will be transparent !

Fifi's options is a good one. Those tgas should only show at very high magnification on the map though anyway. There is a way to change that too but that's for another day perhaps. I'd be glad to make a JSGME mod per Fifi's idea if you want.

Yes, strangely some tga are already transparent like the NKLs, others are not (and it’s the majority)
