How to? No icons on the in-game map.

[Kittytoaster 10]

I'd like my mission to have a kinda modified in-game map with absolutely no icons on it. No visible player or squad or enemy icons.

The point would be to lose all GPS capabilities and have the player actually figure out where he's at using other in game cues.

Is it possible to achieve it without messing with any texture addons?

I've been looking through scripts, functions and commands but nothing has caught my eye.

These icons are hard-coded. No way to access/change them.

I`d like to find a way to make them disappear too, but there seems to be no way.

Expert mode should do that.

But keep in mind, finding clues to know where you are is not often fun.

Expert mode should do that.

Thanks. That does the trick for now.

I'll still try to look into the 'hardcoded' difficulty settings maybe and find out how to force this feature with every difficulty setting.

EDIT:

The 'Extended Map Info' or something down at Options>Game Options>Difficulty>... controls the icons on the map so its pretty straightforward. Could even bind the setting to a map, so thanks again Kylania.
