though I figured most of 'em out, some Arena settings options are still a mystery.

What is "RadarMode[country] (0~255)"?

What is "IconMode[country] (0~1)"?

is there a way to disable Icons?

Both of those settings I haven't figured out yet either. I know a RadarMode of 11 gives you dot dar all around, but the rest of the variables are a mystery. IconMode I think turns 'em on or off, but I'm not entirely sure.

Radar Mode
Radar must be set for each country individually. Radar mode is a combination of the following flags:
Full Friendly - 1
Tower Friendly - 2
Full Enemy - 4
Tower Enemy - 8
Disable Friendly Counters - 16
Disable Enemy Counters - 32
Planes Only - 64
Above Radar Alt Only - 128
The first four flags are for the radar dots, the second four are for the sector counters. The modes are turned
on by adding up the flags you want to set.

When the Planes Only flag is on, vehicles and boats will not show up in the sector counters.

When the Above Radar Alt flag is on, planes will only show up in the sector counters if they are above radar
alt, which is set with ".vset RadarAlt [0-1000]". If the radar alt is set to 0, vehicles and boats will show in the
sector counters unless you turn on the Planes Only flag.

If you are turning sector counters off, then the Planes Only and Above Radar Alt flags make no difference.

To turn radar dots on and sector counters on, the commands would be ".vset RadarMode[0] 5" for
Bishops, ".vset RadarMode[1] 5" for Knights, and ".vset RadarMode[2] 5" for Rooks. (Full Friendly + Full
Enemy = 5)

.icon 1 will set icons to short (3k), .icon 0 will set icons to long (10k).

Many thanks Ghosth!

I really wish HTC would now put up a detailed manual or FAQ concerning these setup options at the Help page..

This info will help a lot, once again, thanks!

Here's a file I put together with the help from many.

Still needs to be updated for the latest changes to the game version.
