Title: Changing Icon colors
Post by: UdieNow on October 30, 2006, 02:20:23 PM

Hey All

Sometimes I find it hard to make out squaddies icons among other friendlies, and was wondering if its possible to change the icon colors for squad members.

I've tried under the GUI part of options, but after I ok it, and get in the air, icons are all still green:confused:

Thanks in advance

It's ctrl+s to toggle squad highlight. You probably have it off, which is why squaddies are showing green icons instead of whatever color you picked for them.

Hehe. No problem.

I've accidentally bumped the keys before and turned it off. I freaked out trying to figure out what was going on. Then I smacked myself once I realized it was so simple. :p

Make sure you are on the same radio 5 channel.
IIRC you need to be on the same channel opposed to just being in the same squad.
Ctrl+S will then automatically make all people on the same radio 5 channel have orange icons.

Actually fuze its either or.

People in the same Squad are always highlighted, no matter which channel youre on. But also, people on the same number channel will be highlighted (NOT highlighting an icon you put on private).

Also not highlighted get people on another country if they are on the same squad or 2xx channel.
