Is it possible to remove map icon/banner for units?

[Taa]

Hi

I wonder if it is possible to remove/disable the label/icon/banner above units on the map, at least friendly?

The map get really cluttered and it would be great if this is possible. The city banner is good and I like to keep that.

Cheers

Yes, it's certainly possible. Based on an example mod in Kael's Modder's Guide, I uploaded a Simple Unit Icon Disabler that adds a checkbox to the minimap menu to do so. However, it needs to be updated for G+K/BNW.

Assuming you have BNW, I believe you can just change the default value of m_IsForceHide on line 49 of UnitFlagManager.lua located in \Assets\DLC\Expansion2\UI\InGame\

    m_IsForceHide = true,

Thanks Nutty, that worked like a charm

Just a small thing, some units still have a "banner" and its not special or different units than others...hmmm...

I try again

When I set "m_IsForceHide = true" all unit labels is gone when I start a new game or load a game, but after some turns some units get labels again. Anyone have any idea why this happen?

Sorry, apparently you're going to need to do more than that...

An easy way is replacing every instance of "m_IsForceHide = false" (there are 8) to true.
