As I, and I am sure others are, red/green colour-blind, I have difficulty picking friendly and hostile targets in the radar screens.

Would it be possible to enable a "colour-blind mode" which would allow the switching friendly/hostile targets to say, black and white, or something with a significantly large contrast?

I think the hilarity of your predicament outweighs any benefits we'd gain from implementing this.

Just let us set custom colors/skin-able graphix for the radar through plugins/skins folder.
that would be awesome

This would be a good thing, but a better thing would be to just add a page to the options to set arbitrary radar colors like we can do for the chat.

@Dr. Lecter, if you think that is hilarious, you should have seen the jumpmaster's face when he realized I was R/G Colour-blind during Airborne school.

THAT was hilarity.

Hahaha... toufuckinche. Hope they standardized bottom light being GO.

Completely unrelated but, 82nd or puking buzzards?

@Ryan - Neither 101 nor 82. Sadly, my unit no longer exists, but it was a LRS unit @ Ft. Lewis.

Do any of the resident Lua code monkeys know if this can be done with a plugin? I know i accidentally changed all of my radar to light blue once with a buggy plugin...

If something is to be done, open customization to radar via Lua plugin, so we can change color and symbols for each target class.

So a miner adds icons for scanned/new roids, escorts/pirates mark (c)argo and (f)ighter ships, so on.

Doesn't TCS or Taretless do something like this?

@ RekindledAshes: Well, ya weren't a puking buzzard, so yer good in my book.

eh, i went to jumpschool myself, also neither 18th or 82... somehow ended up in the 3ID

TCS has MakeFriends that will let you customize who shows up as 'friendly' or 'hostile' - Dunno if it lets you change the colors the game uses to represent 'friendly' or 'hostile'

Not that I know of. Just lets you decide who is to be red and green.
