Is there an anti-nuke highlighting mod?

Postby BrickedKeyboard » 27 Sep 2013, 18:05

I lost yet another game because antinukes are not highlighted in this game's GUI. For some reason, I have trouble seeing them in large bases with lots of stuff. I mean, I usually see all but 1, which is still game-losing. Is there a mod that replaces their strategic icon so that they show up as bright orange or bright red or something? Or, if no mod exists, does anyone know where the texture file is for the icon so that I can edit it?

Just watch the map more carefully? Antinukes got a quite unique icon, although not such an obvious one.

No idea if this is possible, but it might be a very interesting feature...someday. So, you know how we have those little buttons under your mass/energy window on the top left corner. One of them opens up a panel where you can enable/disable attack circles, radars, sonars...
It would be so cool to make this panel more advanced with options to somehow highlight any kind of building you want (well, at least those important ones - TMDs, TMLs, SMDs, mexes...). Like, make their icons glow, or bigger, or give them some ridiculous colour...

I play this game for two years now and I still have problems to see, for example, my mex which I want to upgrade amongst all those pgen icons and other stuff.

There are UI mods that replace icons right? Replace the SMD icon with either a custom icon or something easy to spot, like the XP icon.

Get this mod. Don't look back. I can very quickly recognize every single thing in the game, and i never miss a nuke defense or nuke launcher, and before I couldn't see those things at all.
