Nate--IRL-- Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 As per title, is there any way of increasing the size of the text of the tooltips? They are barely readable when using 1680 x 1050. Its almost impossible to co-ordinate the mouse & trackIR as you necessarily move you head closer to the screen to read them.

deviletk Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Seems like its time to learn what the buttons do! :megalol: Just kidding mate. ;) I guess it will be a bit hard to be a newbie in that cockpit for me too as i use the same res. Maybe theres a solution though - lets wait for a reply by them who know. :smartass: Regards Alex "Snuffer" D.

Maybe there is a tweak in the config for this.

Skydiver Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Personally, i don't mind their size and I have a 1680x1050 monitor...but I would really like a keyboard shortcut added to the labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aledmb Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Personally, i don't mind their size and I have a 1680x1050 monitor...but I would really like a keyboard shortcut added to the labels. i mind. :thumbup: after all, if their function is helping us out, why not make them more accessible? maybe ED can change this in 5 minutes. also, it would be great if i could enable/disable them... the more i know about the cockpit, the less i need them, to the point i won't need them at all. both the large fonts and shortcuts ideas are really appreciated!

AlphaOneSix Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You can disable them through the "labels" option under the gameplay tab in game options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguez Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 (edited) I haven't tried this myself, but you might want to edit Hint_localizer.lua, which is in ....\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit, since it has all the tooltips in text format. You could then add the keyboard shortcut if desired. You might also look at clickabledata.lua in the same dir, it seems related.

Fakum Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I would like to bump this thread, I would also like to find an option. I am using a 30” widescreen at 2560x1600 resolution. I like it, and I don’t want to lower it. My problem is that when I move the cursor over any clickable switches, the text label is too small to read it. Is there a way to change the font size of these labels?

aledmb Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Just edit Hint_localizer.lua, which is in ....\Eagle Dynamics\Ka-50\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit, since it has all the tooltips in text format. Add the keyboard shortcut if desired. mine are in russian! :( did a quick search, but could not find the english ones. but what about font size? thanks for the tip!

Fakum Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thats the thing, I have no idea what file to look into,,,, each one I open is kinda not to clear? It looks like an English and Russian combo,, unless there is a particular program file I should use to open them? but more importantly, I need to know if it is doable, if so which file and which line gets edited?

miguez Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 mine are in russian! :( Hi aledmb, Mine has both Russian and English localization texts in Hint_localizer.lua, so you might be able to change both. I have not found a way to increase font size yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aledmb Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 maybe we can put them in UPPERCASE. that would help for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fakum Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Which file and line are you refering to to change to upper case, and what program are you using to edit these files?

aledmb Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 i didn't tried to change anything, cause the english tooltips are the indexes to the tooltips array in that file (\Scripts\Aircrafts\Ka-50\Cockpit\Hint_localizer.lua). i think it could break the tooltip system, 'cause in most systems, array indexes are used to relate different parts of the system.
