corey Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hi, I just wonder how I can change the color of the arrow(direction)/distance which is shown when I Shift+LeftKlick on the map. I cannot see it most of the time against the bright background like the sky or white houses. It would be very helpful if I could change it to pink that I can always see. all the best corey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddingamer Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 In main menu go to Settings -> Game -> colours -> and set a colour you like for "active elements"Here are some screenshots about it if you don't understand what I mean :Dhttp://imgur.com/a/O3bgwNotice: If you change the Active Element colour, your crosshair and some other things on your HUD will be (e.g. green) too. But its extreamly helpful :) E.g. the green crosshair like I have, pretty nice to see :)I hope I helped you :) kiwigreen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I did not know this, thanks alot. That white little arrow can be pretty hard to find on the screen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 This option does change only crosshair color and color of groupmembers but not the color of the direction arrow/distance. This is still white even though changing color of active elements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddingamer Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 You mean the distance on the HUD don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I mean when I mark a point on the map with shift and LeftKlick it shows me the direction and the distance but only in white. This I want to be pink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 The active element color does not change the waypoint color, none of the different colors you can chose affect it. From what I have looked up, you cannot change the waypoint color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddingamer Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 (Ignore the HUD parts from KOTH, look at the red box ;) ) Works in Epoch too of course :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corey Posted December 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Does not work for me in Epoch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulli_123 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 @ maddingamerCan you please specify how the color is changed in the red box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 @maddingamer when I change my active element color, it doesn't change the waypoint color. Are you sure it isn't KOTH that somehow lets you change the waypoint color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 1000% sure, i play on all arma servers with this green marker :) and its the active elements for sure ! Weird, because I literally set every one of those colors I could to pink and my map marker was still green. Just for a test, could you switch your active elements to another color and see if the waypoint marker changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnragedN3wb Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Does not work for me either... Extremely frustrating, to say the least. Been trying to find a fix for this since I first bought Arma 3. Nothing works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
