changing location of in-game Radio menu

[pitbull]

I manage to have multi-monitor setup working, but at a small cost. I can only see the bottom part of the in game radio menus. By that I mean the menu accessed when hitting the \ key.

 

Usually, radio subtitles & radio menu are located top right of the screen. Any way to change the location?:helpsmilie:

Freakin' awsome sim BTW, beats any version of F4 anyday!

I don't think so. At least, I have not seen any so far.

Changing position or size could be fine. Because the menu for the change payload is small. We can't see whole names of the payload to be selected. :thumbup:

I tried looking around in all the .lua files to no avail...

 

Theres got to be somekind of fix:cry: All I need is to drop the text by 128 pixels..

 

I don't want to change the game resolution just for that little downfall.

Temporarily change the res, right em all down into a spreadsheet and print them off as a sort of checklist :D

 

Lame work around I know, but it should help until a fix is possible :)

We have no FLT on my next night shift here at work. Sounds like a good project to kill 12 hrs i have to stay up! :D

Than this, its better print it from manual. Section 8-18 page 356.

Hello everyone..

 

I hope nobody minds that I pick up this old thread, because this describes exactly my problem.

 

I'm playing Black Shark since some days now and using the pretty good addon TouchPal for DCS: Black Shark

 

My problem (as a newbie) is not only that I cannot see the radio-menu (because of the stretched screen it's behind the TouchPal on my second monitor on the right), I also cannot see most of the (german translated) text from the trainer, the text from some wingmans / orders in missions, etc.

 

So .. does perhaps anybody know now a solution to change the location of the radio menu? Moving it some pixels to the left or completly to the left side would really help me.

 

Thanks a lot in advanced

Try editing fui/resources/multiplayer res files. You can change coordinates of

most things if you can find the right object.

Hello TAIPAN,

thanks for your quick answer and your great hint.

 

As I could figure out, nearly all the "RC-*.res" - files in \FUI\Resources\ are responsible for the location of the radio-menu boxes.

 

 

For those who are interessted in:

 

Most of these files have the same first lines with

\dialog
\begin
   \tag{-1}
   [b]\upright[/b]
   \coord{-<[b]x-cordinates moving box[/b]>,<x-distance to box-border left?>,-<y-distance to box-border top?>,<box-size?>}
\caption{<Box headline>...}
...

The line "\upright" seems to set the reference point for the coordinates, the upper right corner (which depends on the "width"-parameter in the

"\BlackShark\data\scripts\options.lua", line 87 in my own options-file).

 

I tried to move all boxes (what means I changed every <x-cordinates moving box> in every "RC-*.res" - file).

It seems that these moving parameters are not in pixel, so i tried some values.. round about -500 to -600 are okay for me and work well.

 

 

The only box i did not find till now is the message-box of trainers, wingmans, etc. as I told above. They are not only important for training as I saw, they are also important for the whole campaigns.

 

So if someone has an additional advise.. please don't hold back. :book:
