Remove green circles of the battlefield

[ignasigh]

I wonder how to remove the green circles of the selected unit...can someone help?

[Caesar Clivus]

I cant verify this but try changing disable_arrow_markers = 0 to 1 in the medieval2.preferences.cfg file in your M2TW directory.

If you want to just take a scren shot, without selected unit? press enter.

Instead of printscreen? I'll try

[Willowmound]

Or click the unit while holding down ctrl...

What program opens the "medieval2.preferences.cfg"
Thanks

You'll want to use a text editor program, like notepad.

i just got a new computer with vista (hate it) and i cant get anything to show up in the preferences file but widescreen 1 and all users 1

i need to get rid of these circles!

anybody got a solution that has vista?

[mangoo-]

Caesar Clivus is correct, is also works with Vista. Open up the file in notepad (located at C:\programfiles\sega\medieval, press control + F, find disable_arrow_markers = 1 (or something similar to it), and set it to 0.

[Shabby_Ronin]

yeah, but all i have in my preferences folder is

[video]
widescreen=1
[game]
allusers=1

what gives?

Shabby_Ronin, are you sure you are opening the "medieval2.preference" file? I noticed a file like what you are seeing when I was poking around before, but i can't remember where.

I am asking because you said "in my preferences folder," and there is a preferences folder located in M2TW's main directory but that is not what you want.

The file you want would be located in your root/main medieval 2 (not SS) directory and looks like this when opened:

[audio]
enable = 1
master_vol = 100
music_vol = 56
provider = Creative Labs EAX 3 (TM)
sfx_vol = 100
speech_enable = 1
speech_vol = 100
sub_faction_accents = 1

[camera]
default_in_battle = rts
move = 50
restrict = 1
rotate = 50

[controls]
campaign_scroll_max_zoom = 30
campaign_scroll_min_zoom = 30
keyset = 1

[game]
advanced_stats_always = 0
advisor_verbosity = 0
ai_factions = follow
allusers = 1
auto_save = 1
blind_advisor = 0
campaign_map_game_speed = 37
campaign_map_speed_up = 0
campaign_num_time_play = 177
chat_msg_duration = 10000
disable_arrow_markers = 1

I put in bold letters where you want to change the 0 to a 1 (as I did here). The file is longer than what I posted, but I stopped it where the change you are looking to make is located.

Hope this helps.

yah i know, its just there is no other file there, the only one i have is the one i copied and pasted on the above post...i never had this problem with xp...just now that i have vista i cant seem to do anything easily

can anybody with vista can tell me where their file is...and if they have the one i have in the main directory like this

[video]
widescreen=1
[game]
allusers=1

i'm just worried this obnoxious security vista has isnt allowing me to see the file...and i havnt figured out how to show hidden files yet on vista


edit ha, well, when i opened it with microsoft word i got all the options, but not with good ol' notepad...hmmm wonder why :hmmm:

You can also just add the line to either SS or vanilla's .cfg file.

[game]
disable_arrow_markers = 1
