Mission Question(radar dots)
« on: October 23, 2002, 09:07:45 PM »
Are the people in missions suppose to show up as yellow dots on radar?  Would be neat feature if they did to tell the difference between a squad and a grouping of a country.  Also, the bug that allows no missions at dark being looked at?

I think they are supposed to, but it seems buggy.  I remember in a recent scenario seeing yellow dots for one squad on the map - but it was not the one I was flying with, which were still green!  The icons were hilighted correctly, it was just the radar dots that were wrong....

As I recall, in the pre-1.10 days, if you were part of a mission, your front end showed all the mission members' icons in yellow, as well as their dots on the dar.  Of course, if you weren't in the mission, they all looked green like any other group of friendlies going somewhere.  Nowadays, only the icons are going yellow, dot dar still shows them green.  Often wondered if that was a bug or if HT changed it on purpose.

Yes, thought color option was to change color of dots on dar, totally forgot about icon.
