In game clip board....
« on: November 09, 2011, 12:37:26 AM »
If anyone important reads this... please consider it. lately its been hard for me to see cons/friendly dots on my clipboard map. I just wish there to be an option to make those dots a little more noticeable... otherwise.... i get really frustrated because i almost have to get out of my seat to plant my face on the monitor trying to figure out where my squad mates are located without asking/annoying them.

I dont know if other people have said stuff about this same situation but it would make things a lot easier by making a size scaling option for the friendly/con dots on the clip board maps.

sincerely,
Dagger

The next time you're in-game, press the Insert key. The Delete key will unzoom the CBM.
Easy in-game again.

or you can right click over the + and - buttons on the clipboard itself.  they zoom in and out.  :salute.

As a friendly hint, those commands that Easyscor mentioned can be found on this "one page reference guide"  http://trainers.hitechcreations.com/quickref/quickref.pdf

Also, On there clipboard, there is a way for you to change to colors of the dots, making it easier to see some (I never liked the neon green dots).

any other questions go ahead and ask on country and if anybody gives you crap, just ignore them.  there's way too many things to remember the first couple of months :).  been playing for 5 years and I just learned you can change the dot colors, lol.

All that zooms the map, but the dot size will stay the same.

GUI cannot make the dots on radar any bigger.


i get really frustrated because i almost have to get out of my seat to plant my face on the monitor trying to figure out where my squad mates are located without asking/annoying them.

If you're all on the same vox, just ask one of them to key the mic for a second. It will make his dot a big square so you can see it. Also, use the squad highlight option and change the color of squadmates from the options screen.

you can also look around and figure out the folks that will help you and the ones that want to be smart a##es.  Most of the helpful folks around here don't mind a pm asking a question.  Just FYI.  I've been here since dirt and I still ask a ton of them.

Yes, and we have grown tired of them...so going forward, expect an increase in snarky comments.  :neener:
