Let Me Find It!

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 10:17 pm

I hate when I pull up the local map and I see a location marker that I haven't actually found IG, like a grotto or a not so obvious cave entrance. So, anything out there to get rid of them? Would it have to be a code patch thing? Would want to keep the custom marker feature, of course.

Maybe replacing marker's texture with blank (full alpha) will do the trick? Unfortunately I don't know which one texture is this, I didn't find it on a CS disc.

Dont look at local map? Or put black tape across the screen where the map appears to force you not to look..

That's not a bad idea.

Perhaps: textures\door_icon.dds ?

It works! :) Here's the texture file: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/28407304/door_icon.dds

Side note, do you know names for the world map/city markers? I could do the same and upload it at PES.

I believe the game draws the marker direcly onto the world map instead of using a texture.

Thank you so much! No more "door-dar"! :celebration:

Yes, you should totally upload this to PES. There have got to be more people who have the same pet-peeve as I do, right? And no worries about not being able to do the world map city markers because those don't have the spoiler aspect that the local door markers can have, imho.

I like how since the marker is still technically there, you can still mouse over the door and get the name to pop-up.

Just a note, the file you have linked needs to be changed to door_icon.dds to work (it is missing the _ ).

Looks like SpeedyShare removed underscore form file's name.

Mod (with readme!) is PES-pending, should be ready tomorrow I think.
