[REQ] No text message: Enemy unit destroyed

Brausepaul · 04-03-07, 05:24 AM

I think that the message mentioned in the topic is unrealistic because it gives away too much information (do I need another torpedo or not...?). Is it possible to remove that message?

I hear you and tried some solutions.

You can remove the text message from the NA file. It was that way in SH3 and very annoying, instant feedback before it even slip under the ocean. Bad as someone in a movie theater telling the end of the movie about to happen, takes all the 'excitement' out of it.

IIRC I think Neal used a carboard business card placed over screen to hide the message.

Or move the message box down to bottom of screen so you do not see it pop-up so quick. Another problem is your Captain's LogBook icon will start flashing in lower right corner also when you made a kill. Arcade stuff that needs to be removed.

I tried yesterday. I removed it, but another message pops up saying something like "NA... and a date". We had the same problem in SH3 and no one ever found a solution. You will probably just have to live with it.

You can remove the text, but as has been said it leaves an empty message from the navigator. The solution I used in RUb (either removing it or putting another innocuous message in its place) is probably as good as it gets until someone figures out a command in the commands.cfg file or somewhere.

Not only that, you have to also kill the message flash update notice that tells you a ship sinking has just been placed in your logbook. Not to mention the logbook entry itself.

Is that new to SH4? I don't seem to remember that in SH3.
