I'd like to know the reverse; is there a way to get back the little white dot?

The dragon is very cute, but it's much larger than the dot.

not to mention the dragon marker is difficult to see on certain terrain areas.

Apparently - installing the map pack gets you your dot back? LOL

It's too cluttered and it causes me a lot of lag. I like the in game map; I'd just like to know if there's a way to use the in game map and have my little white dot back.

Here's what I did to get the white dot back:

1) In your resources_override folder create the following directory structure: interface/maps/istaria

2) In the istaria folder create a text file called map_istaria_character.def, or just copy the original.

3) Edit the new file to contain the following:

MAP_IMAGE
{
// The first UI_WINDOWDEF found will be loaded.
// This doesn't have to be just an image. It can be a base Window with nested subwindows.

UI_WINDOWDEF Image
{
string Image = "map_marker_white.png"
float H = 9.0
float W = 9.0
}
}

Save and test. You should have your white dot back.

There is a shader file that seems to define the dragon icon (map_indicator_direction.sha), but editing that didn't work for me, so I took another route. Granted, it's probably an error I made somewhere so I'm going to try it again later.
