SgtPappy Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Is it possible to turn off only the missile labels when creating a mission or launching a server? My friends and I like to play against AI a lot since we can face many different kinds of enemies in different scenarios. I want to start removing just the missile labels (and soon all the labels) for all clients but it seems the mission can only enforce turning off all labels or none. Thanks!
pepin1234 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Yes. In Control Options --General-- and then at your right select labels. There you have all the combination you need. Edited October 5, 2013 by pepin1234 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SgtPappy Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Sorry, do you mean in the Controls menu? I have control over my own labels but if I start a server or build a mission, I can only enforce whether the labels are all shown or not. I want the labels for the aircraft, ships and vehicles to remain visible, but I want the missile labels to be off for every client in the server. Is this possible to set in the mission editor or the server?
pepin1234 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) When you flight in MP you are fliying with a lot of people that maybe they are differents knowledge Levels. Normaly when one Pilot get experience, he want a good brefing and he like do everything with the Information like the real life. So the Problem is that when someone is fliying with you with this wishes, then this Pilot dont want see the Labels of the Missiles. So the answers of your question is that in the Mission Editor we can set this Option depending of the Level of the mision. So when you cant set the Labels inflight by yourself, that means this mision is not made to do that. Try edit some misions and Change this Option, then you have the Labels on. But I am sure that you can find some Servers with Labels on. Then you should remember this Server for the next time. Also try do it in SP to see if work. When you try in MP, set first all Labels on and then try the Missiles labels off. After that set all Labels off and try to set the missles Labels on. Honestly I never have try this before. Good luck!

Frostie Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 Sorry, do you mean in the Controls menu?

Is this possible to set in the mission editor or the server? I think the only way to make this possible would be to change the required files in the server then make these files Integrity checked. Then you'd need to make a mod package available for download to be able to distribute those files to all those that wanted to fly in your server. In other words a total ball ache. Labels are horrible and the AI suck so just choose them all off, you will become much better in much quicker time without them, no lie. Having labels on will get you in to bad habits.

Some of my missions have F10 Allies Only, others F10 Fog Of War, a couple use F10 All. But Labels are always off. I only use them at the start of a new mission design. Lots of folks don't want any external views enabled, and I've seen where folks may want to disable screenshots -- but I like enabling that stuff.

SgtPappy Posted October 5, 2013 Author Posted October 5, 2013 Ahh that's too bad. But thanks for the info! I will, as pepin said, try flying on my own with just missile labels off then turn them all off and get used to it. Though the AI does suck at flying, they are good enough to find you much faster than most humans can. And they are more aggressive than in FC2.
