Change message box size?

[johnv2pt0]

Hey all,

 

I have a message I want activated as long as an A-10 is at a certain airfield. I do not want the message to obstruct other A-10 player's view though if they're already airborne.

 

I can't figure out what determines the message box size and it's annoyingly large. I've attached a screenshot. Any ideas? Thanks in advance ~

can you attach the file you're working on that shows this message window?

Of course...thanks for taking a look. Also, one of my buds was saying that he thought some people used excel for their typing and then cut and paste into ME. Is that a better way?

I would like to know how to do the cut and paist. My slpeling is real bad if you can tell.

You can type within excell (and I'm assuming any typing program) and do a Ctrl C, then Ctrl V into the ME.

 

I still haven't been able to figure out what determines the test box size. Originally I had a slightly smaller message and the text box was much smaller. Now anything I type (to include simply the word "test") will bring up a msg box that's half the screen.

 

I've tried deleting everything within the msg box in the trigger.

I've tried deleting the entire trigger and starting over.

I've tried formatting the msg differently.

 

If I wasn't already bald I'd pull my hair out. Any help is appreciated! :helpsmilie:

aaaaaa.... you are making this message box appear using triggers... I thought you edited some of the xxxxx.res files like for menus etc... triggers are really not my thing at all :(

Did you ever found a sollution for this problem ?

Facing the same now.

Any particular reason you're not putting that information in the briefing screen? That can be accessed any time the player wants it without having to have someone at the base, and would avoid the issue of the size of the box.
