Disabling Map

[sgt_hawkins 9]

How do you disable the little red circle on the map that always tells you where you are on the map. I dont want anything to show up on the map except my Markers. This is for Multi-player so dont tell me to put it in veteran mode.

Set the setting to "veteran" in options.

Oops. Ignore my inability to read a whole post

Isn't this a default setting? It's not showing up on the GOL server I'm always on (it does aim for realism) so it might be a server-side option

I do believe it is server-controlled.

You can disable it by setting the difficulty to Veteran. Don't know any other way to do it...

No its not just Server side because normally when i play a mission on our server it has the red circle shawing where you are but there is one mission where it disables the map. I cant remember the name of the mission but he was able to disable the map without changing server settings.

Disable map = when you bring up the map, you get a black screen?

You can disable the map (and gps, etc) by setting the showMap option in the description.ext.

I think you can also disable it in mission with the scripting command http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/showMap

If you mean disable the GPS (which has the red circle), you can use showGPS instead.

Ok heres what im trying to get done I dont want the player to know where he is on the map because on the map there is a big red circle that tell you where you are. Id like to keep the map intact I just want the players to have to use the compass to navigate the mission. Please tell me what I have to do to make this happen. Captain the disable map function works but the

ShowGps False

doenst work

Can I disable the whole map on "M" button? I want to set an own dialog with "paper map" to the "M" button... (Without players position, so a full new dialog) Can I do it?
