viking pack 3.3 question

i just installed VP3.3, and the chat hud size with only 4 lines that you cant toggle is the only thing i dislike. how can i get rid of the flashy blue bordered chat hud for the older default one? have been looking around but i cant find anything, i am guessing its something in the tree(); that needs to be changed?

Well, you can just delete Config\Viking\BMP\ChatHud BG.bmp and resize the chathud lines with the normal "u" key, but I don't script and you'll most likely get a console error trying to load the bmp, but it isn't anything more than that I guess :\

that just removes the background, but doesnt let me resize it with the U key more then 3-4 lines. hm, i guess it is something i have to change to get it to resize...

The container would be my guess.

i figured that :p but where do i do it?

The tree() function.

....sigh, where in tree do i edit? :<

~
tree();
(-)playgui
(-)ChatHudBG_Container
ChatHudBG_Bitmap
chatdisplayhud<<edit<<command vision & #of lines & size & pos

Then delete the chathud bg's in */dynamix/tribes/config/viking/bmp/ChatHudBG.bmp(I think that may work)or remove it somehow in tree but im not sure exactly sure where because I havent done it in a long time.

im trying to edit it but it either locks the values, or it lets me change them and then changes em back :<

what am i doing wrong, and what do i need to do exactly to change the chat hud. i want it so its the regular chat hud, with 7 lines... not the default 4 line VP one with blue borders :/

<3 anyone who helps, sorry for sounding like a newb :/

I think you can't permanently change the values in tree(). You should check what the name of the container is, find the file where it defines it, and change the values there. I don't know really, I never had any experience with VPack actually... :shrug:

ved about VikingPack crap, but paste this into console while in-game

Control::setExtent(chatDi splayHud, "X", "97");

replace X w/ length in pixels

thanks kris ill give it a shot

ok, when i change the Extent or the # of lines and hit apply it is just reverting back to this immediately:


how do i unlock it? :<

uncheck commander version

tried it. :/

It's been awhile since I've done anything with the tree() function, so I can't remember what might cause that. It's not within another container, is it?

yep, i believe it is in another container :o

Ah, that one will restrict any inside of it. You just haveta change its position and size.

aka

make the container larger than the values your entering in for the chat(or whatever)
i dont know if this is right, i havent done tree(); in a long time

i always just made one cainter for everything and made it 1024x768 HOHOH
