Removing marker on map

[frosties 10]

Hello,

Been searching and trying different ways, but i cant seem to be able to remove the circle and markers that shows where i am on my map, or even my teammates.

I would like to be gone for the map to force us to use the GPS to get our location.

But when we show on the map its a bit of a buzz kill... :)

You can set it to Veteran mode that will do the Job or in the server change the profile:-

class Regular
{
	class Flags
	{
		3rdPersonView = 1;
		armor = 1;
		autoAim = 0;
		autoGuideAT = 1;
		autoSpot = 1;
		cameraShake = 1;
		clockIndicator = 1;
		deathMessages = 1;
		enemyTag = 0;
		friendlyTag = 1;  --- - change this to 0
		hud = 1;
		hudGroupInfo = 1;
		hudPerm = 1;
		hudWp = 1;
		hudWpPerm = 1;
		map = 1;
		netStats = 1;
		tracers = 1;
		ultraAI = 0;
		unlimitedSaves = 1;
		vonId = 1;
		weaponCursor = 1;
	};
	skillFriendly = 1;
	precisionFriendly = 1;
	skillEnemy = 0.7;
	precisionEnemy = 0.5;
};

Can this be done via script? Something like setting friendlyTag = 0

Well if you don't want to be able to see any units including yourself on the map then simply take the map away.

If you don't have something intelligent to say about this topic it is best if you don't say anything at all.

I thought Frosties didn't want to really use the map at all so I was meaning remove it with showmap = false, but reading it again I noticed he still wants to use GPS

My mistake I admit, but you don't have to get your panties in a twist over it and come across as arrogant as you do, though reading your post tends to make me think exactly the same ... your answer was even more worthless than mine was to start with.

So do me a favour, calm down a bit.

I don't know if this would work but if you do remove the map replace it with a picture of the map.

I can do this with a logo but I've never been able to convert my own picture to paa, in game they come up grey hatch pattern.

this will demo what I mean, it pops a small picture on the screen.

To make this work on the map change the condition in the trigger to visiblemap

you can remove the old map using player removeWeapon "itemmap" placed in the units init.

The problem may be that when you open the map it displays the picture for everyone but I can't test that myself.

If it all works then you will need to find a way to convert the map to paa format.

I Know Gimp converts it to TGA and then textview2 converts that to paa but not in my case that's as far as I get.
