LO2 Resize Chat Window?

[104th_Crunch]

Can someone please confirm if is it possible and how?

[Case]

There's two places the chat windows is referenced:

1. config/network.cfg
   
2. scipts/net/default.cfg
   

 

I've tried both of them but none of them seemed to work. However, I have the impression the latter file is the config file for the server, so it may be that the chat height is only set by the server and forced upon its clients.

Thanks for having a look Case.

Bump this one!

 

It would be nice to have a built-in config tool for server chat options, to disable certain messages, like "XXX took off from YYYY", and client option to fix the hight of message window. Currently on some servers it looks like NYSE report on teletext :(

I think messages should be disabled all together... only things like scripted triggers messages should show but these are different from MP event messages anyway.

Problem now is that there are no more debriefs in MP, or a current official release of Tacview for FC2. So you get killed by an IR SAM/IR A2A missile for example and you have absolutely no clue what happened with chat messages off. Not much fun IMHO. I think once Tacview is released then shutting down the chat messages becomes more viable.

Can you filter out what type of events to show and what not at least?

Thanks Wed!:thumbup: This thread did not actually list how to change the chat window. What you posted will display 3 lines of chat in the display. Much better than the default IMO.

Not that I am aware of. Would be nice though.
