Note: This mod modifies files that are likely to be changed in future patches. Do not install this mod on newer versions than 1.5.7.7741.317/2.1.1.8491.251 unless you have verified that the relevant files remain unchanged from that version.

 

 

Features:

 

Chat Enhancer:

 

  • The mail icon is deleted
  • The chat messages appear for 10 seconds every time there is a new message
  • Tab opens or closes the all-chat window
  • Shift+Tab or Ctrl+Tab opens the team-chat window

 

Text Enlarger:

 

  • Enlarges the radio menu font
  • Enlarges the radio messages font
  • Enlarges the mission messages font and window
  • Enlarges the chat messages font and window
  • Has different sized versions for 1440p, 1600p, and 2160p

 

 

Installation:

 

This mod contains 2 components, the text enlarger and the chat enhancer. You can install both of these or only one. Also, the text enlarger comes in 3 sizes.

 

  1. Choose one of the seven folders with the combination of components you want.
  2. If using JSGME, copy that folder into your JSGME mods folder and enable it.
  3. If not using JSGE, copy the contents of that folder into your "DCS World OpenBeta" folder.

Yes, go to line 740 of the file "MissionEditor\modules\dialogs\mul_chat.dlg" and change the RGB numbers, that should do it.

 

Could you please double check that because line 740 says [1] = 0,

 

I would like to have all my chat text in white. Can that be done?

The last update changed significant how chat box work. Much for better I'd say.

Yeah they changed the chat box, I need to update the mod for it. If you're using the text enlarger, for now, you can delete the "MissionEditor" folder from the mod folder before installing it. That will enlarge the radio messages without modifying the chat box.

allowing radio messages to stay on screen longer...

 

Is there an edit that would allow radio messages to stay on the screen longer?

 

Thank you.

 

edit: just tried the text enlarger 2160p...really great! Hope there is a way to allow it to stay onscreen longer.

OK, in mul_chat.lua, search for "diffTime > 10", and change the 10 to the number of seconds you want the chat to stay up.

 

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\MissionEditor\modules

I changed the 10 to 20 and then tried 60, neither change allowed the simulator to load beyond 10%, then it froze. I'm not sure I found the line you're referring to.

Perhaps it's another line that needs editing?

Edit: I don't think that line exists [diffTime > 10]
