BBloke Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 You should be able to do it via the console. Start up a QMB and press P to pause Now Hold SHIFT and press TAB You'll see a whole heap of writing.. this is the console. Now you can type the command to change the dot ranges. mp_dotrange FOE RANGE # TYPE # ID # NAME # COLOR # DOT # same for friendlies mp_dotrange FRIENDLY RANGE # TYPE # ID # NAME # COLOR # DOT # replace the # with a value in km that you wish as a setting. For instance: mp_dotrange FOE ID 1.0 will show you the callsign/id of the plane when its within 1km. Putting it in the RCU file If you wish you could make it easier by adding it to your RCU file in your game folder. Like so: @a mpe mp_dotrange FOE RANGE # TYPE # ID # NAME # COLOR # DOT # @a mpf mp_dotrange FRIENDLY RANGE # TYPE # ID # NAME # COLOR # DOT # then all you would do is open the game console and type mpe to load enenmy settings and mpf to load freindly's. Creating different files for different settings If you have loads of different variations you could make a file that you run from console instead.

BadAim Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 For those who are interested, the latest iteration of Eizon's config editor has a GUI for the dotrange functions, I'll upload it to our files section. Don't ask me how it works I havn't tried it yet. ;PÂ Edit: it was allready there! Download link: Eizon's Config Editor (Note: I'm not sure if this is up to date or not). It's not M8, but the website won't let me upload. The new version has many more features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sorry I resurrected an old topic. I would like to adjust my ICON settings when I host COOPS. I have tried to follow a few tutorials and the information in this thread but, I still can't understand what I need to do. What most intelligent folks can comprehend about this computer stuff always just baffles me. If anyone has a few minutes to give me some hands on assistance it would be appreciated. No big rush. I would just like to make my COOP settings a bit more realistic rather than arcade. Thanks for all the help I get around here. I wish I weren't so computer illiterate.

DD_Brando Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I have the old files for Iconscript, which is operated by the command console. I'll put them in the Pound a bit later - after we finish having this birthday party and I've done my chauffeuring duties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
