You may have to just remove the C&C object from the mission(s) in question.

Question. Is there a way to move the yellow messages from the upper/middle of the screen in the lower part of the screen?

Hi predattak,

Some mods use the "Mission Complete" slot for other messages and I agree it sometimes is an overkill. Some log messages might overlap but it won't happen too often so let's have the option. Should the bottom of the screen be the default location? I like it down there (it will be a conf.ini option anyway...)



2 weeks... (hopefully one)

Anything else, anyone?

me... again 

[predattak]

All i can say is ..i love you Mr. Whistler.
It's perfect at the bottom of the screen like that.
Maybe add an option to change the color to a slightly darker one for night missions but that's nothing really. Text placement was the major problem.

[whistler]

Hmm the bottom won't cut it for some tiny messages/tips from the C&C mod. Hardly noticeable. I'll have to think of something.

[predattak]

It's good. If you are slightly careful you can see it. In my opinion at least

[Andy H]

Yep. I'd take that.

Sorry guys but I don't have much free time lately. I put together this little update during last weekend, and here it is now for you to enjoy it:

Next Generation HUD (NG-HUD) v3.6.1

The C&C mod makes heavy use of the "LogCenter" slot and, many times, it is too intrusive as pointed out by member predattak a few posts back. Here is my humble attempt to improve the experience.

New "ngHUDshiftmsg" conf.ini setting:

Main messages (excluding "Mission Complete", etc) exceeding X characters will be displayed at the bottom of the screen instead of in the middle
- Allowed values: Any number from 0 to 100
- Default value: 5 (shift to the bottom messages with more than 5 characters)







Follow the link in the first post for the download 

Have fun!

Works beautifully (BAT) whistler. Thank you so much for this. I fly a lot of maritime missions, and the C&C radar or rescue messages can get irritating in the centre of the screen - much better at the bottom.

One thing - your mod does not appear to move the messages generated by the new triggers in BAT? Personally, I think that is a good thing, as there is a fair chance the messages would overlap if other tools such as C&C are also in the mission. As you can also limit the on-screen display time of trigger-generated messages anyway I think it is probably best left as it is as they are really intended as 'one-off' messages, not repeated text.

Thanks again!

P.S. I also use the 'NAVAID' object in my missions a lot to guide me to a beacon. The text for that is also positioned at the bottom of the screen by your mod.

I can't thank you enough for this, whistler.

[predattak]

It's perfect. Thank you very much. Now at least for me the night battles are much better, the text doesn't "jump" in your eyes covering important parts of the screen and it's darkish yellow color doesn't ruin your night vision like vanilla text did. 👌👌👌
I'm gonna play some schräge musik to those wellingtons tonight.

This is superb,  I know I'm not supposed too but I still have PAL-visualMOD9 installed too, only because it makes my Trackir much smoother - without it my Trackir is incredibly jerky and almost unplayable for my old eyes (I have smoothness in Trackir set to 50) ... Is there any way I can smooth it and dispense with PAL-visualMOD?

Thanks for all your incredible work

S!

EDIT

For example, is there a config.ini I could change?
