Hi there!
Background:
In my current project, one of the premises is to hide in plain sight among other players and neutral units. I can set the color of the models for all units so team color does not give players away, but the team color is still shown via units on the minimap. A potential remedy for this is set each player to the same color but, this has the negative effect of everyone's name being the same color in chat.
Request:
So I would like to replace the unit minimap icon to one that does not display team color. It does not need to be anything special, just a black square/shape that is appropriately sized. (I tried to make my own by making a black square in paint and converting it to TGA but the end result is either too large, or if I shrink it down it becomes warped/does not render properly.)
I'm not entirely sure what goes into the modification of an icon, so if this is useful:
UI\Glues\SinglePlayer\HumanCampaign3D\Black32.blp
That path is a black square that would be adequate but it needs to shrunk down.
UI\Minimap\MinimapIconCircleOfPower.blp
That path is an adequate size, but shows team color.
Thanks a lot!
