Does it annoy you too if the log messages clog your screen sometimes? Sure, you can toggle the logs, but that lets you miss some interesting information.

Is it already known that you can relocate and resize those logs in Battle_interfaceLogInterface.c, e.g. like this:

void CreateLogEnvironment()
{
ILogAndActions.Log.width = sti(showWindow.sw)/2;
ILogAndActions.Log.height = sti(showWindow.sh)-80;
ILogAndActions.Log.left = sti(showWindow.left)+1; // ccc maptweak original value +88
ILogAndActions.Log.up = sti(showWindow.top)+1; //+16
ILogAndActions.Log.font = "interface_small"; // interface_normal
ILogAndActions.Log.color = argb(0,255,255,255);
ILogAndActions.Log.offsetString = 14; //24
ILogAndActions.Log.speed = 0.1; //0.05
ILogAndActions.Log.color_speed = 0.04; //0.02
}

That way the main portion of the screen stays clear of textmessages <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
 
Thanks CCC, I'd be give'n it a whirl. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
cool, wtg ccc <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/happy.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="^_^" border="0" alt="happy.gif" />
 
Oh that's great, CCC, thank you! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/me.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="me.gif" /> May we drop that (`toggle-able`) into Build 12? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/william.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":will" border="0" alt="william.gif" />
 
No I did not, to answer your question. Nice! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />

Great that this little hint was a help <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> It is common knowledge now, so you can drop it whereever it is of use to anyone (and where it doesn't cause a blot <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bounce.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":b:" border="0" alt="bounce.gif" /> )

BTW, the last two lines determine how fast the message disappears and scrolls. If you want to change that: INCREASING the values makes it vanish FASTER

Not sure how to do the whole quote thing but this is a quote from CouchCaptainCharles:

Is it already known that you can relocate and resize those logs in Battle_interfaceLogInterface.c, e.g. like this:

void CreateLogEnvironment()
{
ILogAndActions.Log.width = sti(showWindow.sw)/2;
ILogAndActions.Log.height = sti(showWindow.sh)-80;
ILogAndActions.Log.left = sti(showWindow.left)+1; // ccc maptweak original value +88
ILogAndActions.Log.up = sti(showWindow.top)+1; //+16
ILogAndActions.Log.font = "interface_small"; // interface_normal
ILogAndActions.Log.color = argb(0,255,255,255);
ILogAndActions.Log.offsetString = 14; //24
ILogAndActions.Log.speed = 0.1; //0.05
ILogAndActions.Log.color_speed = 0.04; //0.02
}


Do this mean i could edit the length of log messages displayed at sea? I find that the amount of experience points gained by sinking an enemy vessel disapears behind the compass so i cant see it. If so erm what would part would i need to change?
 
Oh, sorry for not making the details clear:

Those tweaks will not change the content of the messages but reduce the fontsize, move them a little to the left and upwards and scroll them up faster (for quickreaders only <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" /> )
 
Okay, I've added this to Build 12, `toggle-able` in BuildSettings.h - the default is OFF - so normal large type is there unless you want it smaller, then you can change it in BuildSettings.h <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" />

Thanks, CCC!!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/onya.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":onya" border="0" alt="onya.gif" />
 
Always a pleasure <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bow.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":bow" border="0" alt="bow.gif" /> I'm glad if somone picks up all the loose threads that I am scattering here (I'm already totally entangled in them <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheeky" border="0" alt="icon_mrgreen1.gif" /> )
