Map Icons

[SkyWolf_WM]

I'm apparently to stooopud to find these answers myself.   

On the clipboards map.... what are

Little Yellow Squares

Flashing red bullets

And

What's the difference between Green "Friendlies" and Orange ones?

All all enemies red and identified by Country Icon?

Yellow Squares are the locations of the map room. For airfields it's the location of the town as well since the map room is in the town.

Flashing Red Bullets? Not sure what you mean here, but it when an enemy enters the radar ring of one of your bases the base will flash red to let you know it's under attack.


Orange friendlies are people on the same vox channel as you. Squadmates come up as a different color from regular friendlies and friendlies on the same vox.

All enemy icons are red. All three countries have a different color on the clipboard though.



You can change the colors of things by going into your options and GUI on the clipboard.

Ah..... Thanks!

On the clipboard map one enemy is orange and another red by default, IIRC. I've changed all enemies to be red on the map.

In the radio buffer there's no enemy channel, so red can be used for other purposes. I think squad is red by default, room (range?) is purple, country is green, mission bright yellow, help orange, "all" grey, private message white and a numbered radio channel yellow. For administrative uses you may also see blue/turquoise which is often Skuzzy informing about a reset, light yellow by SYSTEM informing about landed kills and some kind of beige telling about an event on another arena.

 The "orange" friendlies are those tuned to squad channel,or just on the same tunable channel,radio box "V".


  The bullets,could be a flashing town,located near a base in yellow,by default. when an enemy is close but not in radar icon range the town can flash,a GV will cause this also.

  If you open clipboard map and go to options,preferences, GUI, you can adjust the colors to suit your preferences,you can change the different countries colors,icon color for friendly,squaddies and enemies.

   If you right click on map you will see a window open,select clipboard maps and you can view map layouts of the different bases,ports,headquarters,etc.


  If you have any other question plz feel free to ask.
