Problem seeing plots on maps

[Com1]

Hi Guys,

hope you can help me. I am not as young as I used to be and when I plot on the maps, its OK while placing them (red), but after (they turn grey) I can hardly see them then.

Is there a file or graphic I can edit to change the colour? I have spent hours today looking, but can't find anything.

Here's what I mean:



At least while trying things I got a nice purple border to my view cone

I would appreciate a shove in the right direction, thanks.

Also I posted the same dialougue here !!

How to patch your sh5.exe file for v0.0.3 (can define colors for: marks, ruler, compass, protractor, distance scales on Nav map and TAI map, and lattitude and longitude degrees on the sides and top and bottom of navigation map):
NOTE: color is a hex color defined as AABBGGRR (when viewed in the hex editor) where AA = the alpha component, BB - the blue component, GG = the green component, and RR = the red component. Possible values for each is 0x00-0xFF.
NOTE2: stock values for the color (as seen in hex editor) are either 0xFF222222, 0x4B444444, 0xFE111188, or 0xEE000000
- make a backup of your sh5.exe file
- open the sh5.exe file with a hex editor
- go to address 0x2AE60 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the TAI map distance scale
- go to address 0x2B369 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the Navigation map distance scale
- go to address 0x30465 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the longitude degrees located at top of nav map
- go to address 0x304C7 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the longitude degrees located at bottom of nav map
- go to address 0x3060F and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the lattitude degrees located at left side of nav map
- go to address 0x30671 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the lattitude degrees located at right side of nav map
- go to address 0x103F75 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted. This color defines the color of all the instances of this tool when adding new instances of the tool. Makes these instances of these tools 'stand-out' compared to other tools
- go to address 0x103F95 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the marks
- go to address 0x104489 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted when placing a new mark
- go to address 0x104A84 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted when placing new ruler line
- go to address 0x105095 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the ruler
- go to address 0x1055FF and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted when placing new compass
- go to address 0x105945 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the compass
- go to address 0x105DF5 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted when placing new protractor
- go to address 0x1063E5 and change the 4 bytes to the color wanted for the protractor
- save the file
- run the game
