Multiplayer Scoring Text Problem

[enigma6584]

I've recently begun hosting missions I've created with the mission editor. Actually hosted my first coop about two weeks ago. Everything went well. Last night I hosted another coop and something happened which has never happened before in any online game be I host or client.

 

Let me explain; for those of you who play online frequently, you know that when you score a kill, be it another aircraft or ground target, one gets the text messages up at the top left of your monitor screen indicating who killed what with what weapon etc. For example the text would read something like this: "Blue Enigma6584 (Mig-29) kills Red Reaper (Su-27) with R-77." It then disapears after a few seconds.

 

Here is my problem. That text is now showing up in the middle of my screen (not top left) and it does not disapear. It stays during the duration of the game and does not disapear. I've never had this happen before and I'm looking all over for some "key-command" or instruction as to fix it. I have absolutely no clue what has changed from two weeks ago to last night.

 

This is annoying to say the least. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this is, what is causing this and how do I fix it?

It is your config.lua file I think. You should be able to fix it with notepad.

In lockOn\config\network. open it with notepad and check it says this somewhere. If not edit it (but save the existing file somewhere, or under a different name).

 

chat {

height = 55;

log = true;

delay = 10000;

This seems to have fixed my problem. Thanks Gazehound. I have no idea how it got changed to begin with.

Glad it worked.

Mine changed automatically, so yours will have too. I think its sometimes when you crash while online but im not sure as its only occured that once.

I'll keep that in mind and watch it if there are any more problems. At least now I know how to fix it.

 

Cheers.
