Icon Detail in Coop (mp_dotrange)

[Tolwyn]

Doesn't seem to be working correctly in 4.13.4.

If I am the server in a coop, and I type in the console:

mp_dotrange FRIENDLY COLOR 5.0 DOT 15 RANGE 5.0 TYPE 5.0 ID 5.0 NAME 5.0 ALTICON 3.0 ALTSYMBOL · ALTCOLOR 7
mp_dotrange FOE COLOR 5.0 DOT 15 RANGE 5.0 TYPE 5.0 ID 5.0 NAME 5.0 ALTICON 3.0 ALTSYMBOL + ALTCOLOR 5

I'm not seeing a change in ALTSYMBOL or its color.

Also, I have a question about the icon file in the ./user/<your pilot> folder.
What takes priority? The console or aliases in the RCU or this file?

Why the change?

I thought in multiplayer games the server, be it another Player or Dedicated Server, dictated what icons were used in online Play and not each individual Player?

Right. I'm the server.
And it still doesn't work.

Sorry for misreading your original post. I am having my own issues with the tod command so I feel your frustration. Hope you are able to figure it out since now I too want to know why it isn't working.

Something that came to mind because of my tod command issue. Is the host machine making the changes and not the client or are all the machines ignoring the change?

With my tod console command script the host machine accepts the time change and does it but it is not transferring to the client machines. I am wondering if you are seeing a similar issue with your attempt to change the icons.

The icon command change works just fine.
It's the ALTICON, ALTSYMBOL, and ALTCOLOR aren't being recognized (even for the server).
