This may sound like a dumb question, but is there a way to disable the target boxes, as I find them a bit cheesey. Especially in skirmish where there are just too many boxes all over the place.

My best guess without checking is it's driven by .dat file(s). You could replace with a blank image (all black and transparent) via Datech etc. I agree with you. I think the targeting boxes are irritating and not realistic, but it would make things tougher I suppose (sight wise). I'll keep your idea in mind for TF. Good point.

I don't think it is related to the Dat files, I've just taken a quick look through them and couldn't find anything resembling any box that could be used as a target box.

Even took a look at the Cbm files, but nothing

it's got to be hard coded

I've actually found a way to change the color of the player target boxes (as well as remove them) which shouldn't be too hard to change the normal one.

It's one of the things I'll be adding to my multiplayer patch soon.
