[REL]No Damn Bubbles, No Damn Halo Mod

gutted · 03-02-10, 12:15 PM

Heads Up:

There WILL be times when a cerwmen wants to "Have a word" with you. With the bubbles deactivated you wont know when. He wont saying anything until you open his dialog screen.

I've re-enabled my bubbles for now. I nearly missed something.

What about a mod that replaces the bubble with something less cartoonish. Like a caution sign or exclamation mark or circular blue field with an 'i' or an orb or whatever?

Or a bubble with the words: Herr Kaleun?

It would be nice if when you walk by they say something to get your attention.

The insance im talking about is i just happened to accidently click on someone.. and he said "Herr Kaluen, can i have a word with you".

He then went on about how the other men were being d1ck's. And you had to choose whether to tell em not to worry about it, or tell the crew to quit (something like that).

Now, if he would have just said "Herr Kaleun, can i have a word with you" as i walked by it would be 10x better.

Why not a different cursor colour change? Dull yellow for nothing to do, red for clickable and green for talk to me?

Indeed. It's not like people do that in reality -- they don't just stand around and hope your abilities of mind-reading and aura-vision will let you know they wanna talk to you.

Mmm, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the warning. I've had the game for 2 days now and I've only actually played it for like 15 minutes so I haven't seen that situation yet :-)

Yes we may have to do that. I'd like it to be something really subtle though, something not as visually jarring. Perhaps a very small exclamation mark would be a good example. I'll see what I can come up with in the next couple of days, unless someone else wants to have a go at it.

Hi etheberge,

may I offer you a german translation of your README files regarding

- No damn bubbles and accurate German flags?

- You could copy and paste them from here

Good idea thanks I'll include it in future releases.

Is this mod working on full version of SH5?

Is this viable?

etheberge · 03-07-10, 08:07 PM

If you're talking about the exclamation mark thing, it's already in the new version of the mod as default, Kapitan_zur_see did it.

If you're asking about the cursor change, then I don't know, sorry.

You sure about that? IMHO the bbbles are buggy anyway: for me they always appear AFTER I have spoken with someone. And when I speak to him again there is nothing new. O the appear random, also with nohing to say they havent said already.

Just though I'd give a one up on this mod with patch 1.2, the patch does in fact touch the Lights.cfg file so you wont want to install this by JSGME as that would swap out the Lights.cfg file entirely which would obviously undo something that the patch does.
You can though intstall manually, but rather than swappng out the entire Light.cfg file just change the two values named Spread, and Blend in the file to 0 instead of the default which is Spread=2 and Blend=0.5

Thanks for the heads up about the patch.
