How does one change the colour of the indicators which show which system to go to with a mission?
EV has them green/red.
Also, if the mission descriptions say "show the green" why do they not show when using the mission computer?
Is there any way to turn them on?

Edit the cicn resource in the graphics file.

I have done it with A-radar (http://jonpearse.cjb.net/evo) - Oh, and I am releasing an A-Radar 1.0.8 sometime soon.

If you want to change the circle color, you need to change the clut resource, which is not easy, and is not really worth doing...

Mission descriptions have nothing to do with the display of the destination arrows, those are controlled by flags in the "flags" field of the "misn" resource.

The relevant flags are:

0x0002 Don’t show the red destination arrows on the map

0x0100 Show green arrow on map in initial briefing

It shouldn't matter whether it is a bar or computer mission, the arrows should appear if the flags are set correctly.

You forgot the flag 0x0200 for plopping a second red arrow in the system that the special ships show up in.

does this mean that if the plug is not showing the mission indicators I would have to change the flags for every separate mission?

For every mission which you want the indicators to show, yes.
At least that is how I understand it.
