Icons file (in users (pilots) folder) Needs Documenting

[stovak]

TD may be busy, in the meantime I can only tell you that it works for me.

The icons file in the pilot folder works offline only. I have shown my settings below, but I also tried yours and they work the same, overriding the default settings. My RCU is the same as yours.

mp_dotrange FRIENDLY DOT 20.0 COLOR 0.01 RANGE 0.01 TYPE 0.01 ID 0.2 NAME 0.1 ALTICON 6.0 ALTSYMBOL o ALTCOLOR 2
mp_dotrange FOE DOT 20.0 COLOR 0.01 RANGE 0.01 TYPE 0.01 ID 0.2 NAME 0.1 ALTICON 6.0 ALTSYMBOL x ALTCOLOR 1

There may be another file in your main folder called icon.rcu. It is only active if the main rcu has the added line

@file icon.rcu

It has the same format and changes the icon settings for all players if you run a dogfight server. If the settings are different, it will override and rewrite the pilot icons file to match, even if you are playing offline.
