=4c=Nikola Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Can you change a colour of the blue text? Do not expect fairness. The times of chivalry and fair competition are long gone.
BManx2000 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 Yes, go to line 740 of the file "MissionEditor\modules\dialogs\mul_chat.dlg" and change the RGB numbers, that should do it. 1
RazorbackNL Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 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?

BManx2000 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 OK, I was looking at the unmodded file. In the chat enhancer version it's at line 679. Also the red text color is at line 788 and the yellow text color is at 1040. If you change all those numbers to 1.0, then all the chat text should be white.
Santi871 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Excellent mod. Broken in the last update though, TAB doesnt open the chat.
zaelu Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 The last update changed significant how chat box work. Much for better I'd say.

BManx2000 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Posted October 24, 2015 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. 1
kapa Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 @BManx2000 Hey, thx for the mod. I just want to get rid of that mail icon, can you tell me what i need to change?
zaelu Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 you can move the box with your mouse a bit to the left [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I5 4670k, 32GB, GTX 1070, Thrustmaster TFRP, G940 Throttle extremely modded with Bodnar 0836X and Bu0836A, Warthog Joystick with F-18 grip, Oculus Rift S - Almost all is made from gifts from friends, the most expensive parts at least
kapa Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I know i can move it. But i just want to delete that envelope icon from my screen completely.
gospadin Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Any chance you're going to make an update to this? I can barely read the tiny fonts on my screen.

Codawa Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Something I was looking for, thanks. I use 3 monitors and the menus are each at right and left sides. Is it possible to change the position of the radio menus?
LNR212 Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Perfect mod, thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. This should be implemented in original DCS version :thumbup:

fitness88 Posted January 12, 2016 Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited January 12, 2016 by fitness88
BManx2000 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 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.
fitness88 Posted January 13, 2016 Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) 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] Edited January 13, 2016 by fitness88
BManx2000 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Posted January 13, 2016 Oops, I misread your question. The instructions I posted were to increase the time the CHAT messages stay on the screen with the chat enhancer installed. I don't know offhand how to do it for the radio messages.
