Unique map icons for tank and car

Post by DeathSlice »

Just a thought I had while playing, it'd be cool if the car and tank had unique icons in map mode that show what they are. Currently the spidertron has one and trains of course are pretty obvious, but tanks and cars are just small triangles, maybe give them a car and tank icon on the map?

Also letting you search for them with ctrl+f would be great....

I'd make tanks a rectangle with a stick pointing out of it, so they look like their silhouette. Cars could stay a triangle. :idea:

Wish granted.
With this mod

you'll confuse car map icon with locomotive map icon.

(aaaand, here comes headache for next few hours... simply swapping car's minimap icon is... significantly harder, if you don't know what exactly you're supposed to do)
