Shrink In-Game Text?

Post by vanity »

Is there anyway to set the font of all in-game scrolling text to a certain size? I'd like it to be as small as possible but still readable.

Yesterday a few times I played and there was NO text on the screen. It's amazing how much more you can see, not to mention how much prettier the game looks. Then a few seconds later 1/2 the screen is spammed with kit requests, chat, etc again. Boo.

Make this a poll. :P

Agreed. If all text can be crammed into the corner that would be sweet.

I don't think the font size is the main problem, more like the extreme contrast between the text and what's infront of you.

Also the fact that the text appears right in the middle of the screen is quite annoying, maybe it should be moved down in the left corner with a bit more discreet color?

I feel ilke the 'chat' font is still too large and even the messages above. If that can be made even smaller - it'd be better. Hell, to tell you the truth, I'd always play PR with Hud 0 only if it didn't take away the minimap and the spawn menu.

Agree, we need smaller text/chat letters.

10/10. Damn straight. Annoys the hell out of me, especially when I'm a pilot trying to see 8x8 pixel blobs on the ground.

The only thing i could care about is which flag to cap next, all the other teamkill and QM spam are just useless.

Won't it depend on the resolution?

Steps are being taken to decrease the amount of text spam.

Yes I agree with you vanity, playing with zero text on screen is much more enjoyable.

IMO the best HUD approach is as close to HUDless as possible.

nooooooeeeessss :)

What could be removed, if not much trouble, is the QM spamming when people request from wrong places which is VERY often. You know the message "get to a designated supply zone" or "I already issued you....". The valid requests are good because they tell you whats available and whats not. They should stay.

smaller would be nice but 9/10 of the people in game already are fucking retarded or cant read English. its ridiculous, you need to show that you can read and respond before it can be made smaller.

I agree with making text smaller or even non existant for the radio text. I know most of radio text is gone now, but every now and then, some pop up. I wish there was a way to use the draw_hud 0 without mini map and spawning screen going away.

agreed

it would be nice to opt in and out of chat whilst in game...i think team/squad messages can be important for peeps if like me you cant get on VOIP, but a lot of the info thats shown in chat atm ESPECIALLY about other players requesting kits is completely useless.
