Is it possible to visually differentiate between traps I have flagged as a rogue and those I haven't?  In quests with MANY traps, i have hard time remembering which ones i've only detected and which ones I've flagged for my group.  

For instance, spotted could be red, flagged could be blue?

Thanks

You could leave a pebble.

You -can- change the colour of traps, both friendly and unfriendly. It's designed to help people with color blindness. Look it up on NWN Wiki, they'll probably have the means to do it listed.

a pebble...

anyway, i looked up the color suggestion, it's an addition to nwnplayer.ini

[Trap Colors]
FriendlyColor=0,255,0
HostileColor=255,0,0

However, this only works for enemy vs party traps.  The traps in my suggestion were all enemy traps, the distinction being flagged vs unflagged (for easy party spotting).

I think Snoteye meant marking the traps that you've done with items like bullets for slings, as one solution.

Wasn't marking traps with items frowned upon? I seem to recall it being common practice in the UD to mark them with arrows, and that always caught slack. It was lag related, or the fact that the next quest group had everything auto marked by arrows. I dunno. The simply way is just to remember. >_>;

Yes, I realize that the pebble suggestion was to use items to mark which are flagged and which are not...not super practical for the flagger or for the server.

Oh well.

I think what was frowned upon in the UD was marking traps with arrows that were NOT flagged, to keep your party members from stepping on them.
