Post by Enigma »

Hi,

Just d/l-ed the HUD-Mod "SilicuMax V2".

The problem i have is that i cannot read the whole text on the left side (messages).
The messages come out but i can read only the half of them (right half part).

All other HUD-Mods function are perfect (where i can read the messages).

What to do, where what to change ?

Thanks in advance

It might work if you pull the chattext.dat file out of the HUD folder ... doing so will return the chat dialogue to its default location.

You could also edit the chattext.dat file so you can move it around depending on the size of your monitor. The 6th line is important: for example, for widescreen start with:

1st value sets the red color (0-255, default 200)
2nd value sets the green color (0-255, default 200)
3rd value sets the blue color (0-255, default 200)
4th value sets the X pixel offset (usually leave at 20)
5th value sets the Y pixel offset (usually leave at 50)
6th value sets the X position (ie -7.5 for widescreen displays for 1080, smaller resolutions will probably have to reduce this number).
7th value sets the Y position (usually leave at 0)

and have a play around :D

Now another thing.

Everytime i write a post some letters changed automatic in cap_letter (example : c is changed in C ).

I dont like this, hope i can write grmaticaly good enough.
In the english language most words start with normal letter, while german language needs and uses a lot more cap_letters.

Where and how to change it, want to Change "correction = off" ?

Another Thing for my mouse_settings:

I let all settings on normal, just adjusted my key_bindings.
But, when i move the mouse forward my hud shows down and if i move the mouse backward, my hud vision goes up.
Where to invert this settings ?
I want :
- mouse move forward = hud move up
- mouse move backward = hud move down

The auto-correct function when typing is probably an option of your Internet browser.

Correct is correct ...

I have a new PC, new software (Win7-64bit), all is new and i miss so many things from my old PC (Win-Xp) and configurations.

I think i forgot so many things, while not used them for so long.
Now that i need something, and there are a lot of, i just "fool arround and dont get the point".

So DaveK, if you are so kind and tell me where to change permission for this leTter pRoBlem, it will be nice and helpfull.
