Campaign Difficulty Settings-->So annoying

[ApolloFarStriker]

Do I really have to go through all the campaigns with labels turned on and a multitude of other settings that are not to my liking? I tried declassifying but it's grayed out and won't let me.

 

Is there *any* way I can play my campaigns with the settings of my choice?

 

Thanks in advance!

I just read in another thread that the password is 'eagle' But u mentioned the field is grayed out so I don't know what to tell you there. Sorry.

You can turn the labels off with shift F10! However it is slightly annoying to do it every flight. I generally like to have the missile labels on though, as i have no luck with getting a visual on them.

cheers

Other thing to do if you want to maintain your missile labels only is to edit label distance. You set for every object far and close to zero except for missiles.

I think that graphics settings are also affected.

If you DO NOT HAVE the password, you can get around that by RE-CLASSIFYING the mission.

Ignore the greyed-out De-Classify. Use the secret key short-cut CTRL_SHIFT-C, which will bring up a popup window that asks for a new password and then to confirm it by entering it again in the 2nd field. Most people use>> eagle

 

Now that you've set the new password - DE-classify the mission

Look on the Edit Menu or CTRL-SHIFT D

for the Declassify option. Enter the new password and then change the Options on the options screen. And then Classify the mission again and save it.

Go to config\view\label.lua

You'll find this there :

 

-- Label parameters

-- Copyright © 2004, Eagle Dynamics.

 

AirOn = true

GroundOn = true

NavyOn = true

WeaponOn = true

 

-- Label max distance depends on graphics visibility range option value

-- For low – 40000.0 m

-- For medium – 50000.0 m

-- For high – 80000.0 m

 

---------------------------------

-- Label text format symbols

-- %N - name of object

-- %D - distance to object

-- %P - pilot name

-- %n - new line

-- %% - symbol '%'

-- %x, where x is not NDPn% - symbol 'x'

------------------------------------------

-- Example

-- labelFormat[5000] = "Name: %N%nDistance: %D%n Pilot: %P"

-- up to 5km label is:

-- Name: Su-33

-- Distance: 30km

-- Pilot: Pilot1

 

AirFormat = {}

AirFormat[100] = ""

AirFormat[10000] = "%N%n%D%n%P"

AirFormat[20000] = "%N%n%D"

AirFormat[30000] = "%D"

AirFormat[50000] = "'"

 

GroundFormat = {}

GroundFormat[100] = ""

GroundFormat[10000] = "%N%n%D"

GroundFormat[20000] = "%D"

 

NavyFormat = {}

NavyFormat[100] = ""

NavyFormat[20000] = "%N%n%D"

NavyFormat[50000] = "%D"

 

WeaponFormat = {}

WeaponFormat[50] = ""

WeaponFormat[10000] = "%N%n%D"

WeaponFormat[20000] = "%D"

-- Colors in {red, green, blue} format, volume from 0 up to 255

Edit these lines :

 

 

AirFormat[10000] = "%N%n%D%n%P"

AirFormat[20000] = "%N%n%D"

AirFormat[30000] = "%D"

 

GroundFormat[10000] = "%N%n%D"

GroundFormat[20000] = "%D"

 

NavyFormat[20000] = "%N%n%D"

NavyFormat[50000] = "%D"

Like this

 

AirFormat[10000] = ""

AirFormat[20000] = ""

AirFormat[30000] = ""

 

GroundFormat[10000] = ""

GroundFormat[20000] = ""

 

 

NavyFormat[20000] = ""

NavyFormat[50000] = ""

Now you wont see : the distance the name and the allience for ground, navy and air units even if labels are turned on.

 

Note you can do same thing for weapons but I personnaly I'm not doing it. I cant see damn incoming missiles.

 

Have a nice day

 

P.S.

 

Graphics will not be affected by these changes. In order to affect grachics and distance you'll have to edit graphic.cfg file.
