Title: Do you have the massive SAI font enabled or disabled?
Post by: Dav3 on Friday, October 18, 2013, 16:51:47 PM
Simple question. Do you have the massive SAI font enabled or disabled?

This thread is not to argue nor stir sh1t up. Im interested in seeing how many people play with the font huge or not.


Info if you are unfamiliar with the scenario:

Default font was made huge. If you were unaware - it is possible to revert back to default but you need to edit bDisableCustomConsoleFont=True


Assist > Settings > SAI Settings > bDisableCustomConsoleFont=True


I should almost add a 3rd option of: I was unaware I could make it smaller.

I started playing AA back when 1.8 proved to being a massive update. It has been a while since I even had America's Army installed and quite frankly --after opening it up-- I feel as though no substantial change in terms of visual alignment and HUD-presence has at all occurred (Yes, this mean that I did not take notice to the effective changes in font-size!).

Judging from the poll, most players have either come to liking the newly adjusted size or have disabled it as they saw fit with no further requirement for extensive and melodramatic moaning such as the one you are so eagerly and adeptly displaying. Which brings me to what some may have dare question: Why are you so invested in pointing out the what you believe to be wrong in the game and/or Dev's actions (through your individual perspective, as logic demands!) but seem very little to none interested in pointing out its counterparts?


Just trying to make sense of your solid representation of arseness.

I too have played since 1.7 / 1.8.

I have a modern computer, 22 / 23 inch running at 1680x1050. WITH the font updated, it is ridiculously huge hogging screen real estate. I also have perfect 20/20 vision. I sit about an arms length away. I can read it perfectly fine with the small default, and it saves screen space for enemy moment. There is absolutely no reason the chat font needs to be near the same as the hud / ammo / nade count and so on. Pure madness.

Yes, you can disable it. That is beside the point. Im just saying I dont see why things like this are made default. I not once had heard anyone complain the font was too small, ever.

The font remained the same size right to 2.8.5 no? Why did the army never change it? - likely because it was sufficient and a few complaints dont validate a change, especially to make it a default.

Even spanky said it was a few people complaining so eliz decided to make it a project. So cool, you make a new feature for people....Thats great. But why would this become the standard default?




If the majority enjoy the large font, so be it, by all means if it should indeed be a default enabled. But I do not see how anyone would prefer to lose screen real estate for a game. Are you really doing that much chatting?

Do you play this game to chat or shoot bitches?

Dav3, do you mind posting a SS of the "huge" font you seem so against.
It might be a bug or something that makes it extra big on your screen.

Tear her up.

I could be wrong, I dont remember my actual score but it was slightly above normal, so I stayed modest and posted 20/20, quite possibly 20/19 I dunno. Perhaps my use of PERFECT is incorrect, but im referring to normal or above normal as perfect. Normal average vision is refereed to as 20/20. Higher is worse ( 20/40 ), lower like your suggesting ie 20/12 or 20/15 would be simply be above average with 20/10 being double normal.

this ain't a vote. This is simply someone stating 2 possiblities of fonts. He might be working on statistics or whatsoever, cauz I don't see any other reason why someone would make a poll for this

It's an option to enable when you create the poll. Therefore, it's your fuckup.

My point being, it allows me to edit the poll question, and answers at any time to make it reflect anything completely different but it wont allow me to enable that option of allowing users to change their vote. - fault in the forums and makes no sense.

They jumped in making retarded comments. And yes, I retaliate.

You are such a troll and sad excuse for an admin. Always doing nothing but trying to stir more sh1t up.

Should have thought about it before submitting your post. If you don't like the way it's done, perhaps go bitch to SMF. I'm sure they'd love to hear your constant complaining and lack of ideas for otherwise handling it.

I'm really not trying to be a troll, just giving back your poor attitude. As you said, "I retaliate".
You are right though, I'm not doing much now. Life's been too busy for me to contribute serious time to the game. Bummer. You'll have to wait for my life to slow down enough to where I can get back making horrible edits to maps just to make you rage :)

I'd actually like to extend to you some peace or settling differences but I find it hard to believe you'd accept considering in most posts, no matter the topic, you seem to always have to put people down. I really don't know if you have the capacity to be civil. Feel free to prove me wrong.

You seem to like figures of speech a lot. If anything these forums aren't primitive at all, anyway i modified it for yourself. You could've asked politely, that's way civilized people start with, you know...

Btw, care to share an ingame screenshot showing the issue?

He is an attention junkie. He likes to start threads where everyone rage against him and he playes the role of the knight of justice.

Read about Dav3s syndrome here: http://www.insead.edu/facultyresearch/research/doc.cfm?did=50114

At least he brings some drama to the forum...

Precisely. Was fiddling around with Dav3's mind.

I do remember the hype that was around the official AA forums when talks of 1.8 not becoming a release (and instead, 1.9 + Medical Training) took place. Somewhere around 2003, if I recall correctly?! Can't tell for sure.

Speaking of which, is unR still alive? Scandii was/is apart of it, correct?

unR isn't too alive anymore. At least not in AA2.5 . I know some of the guys are playing AAPG now (from the chats on FB). And yes, scandii was a part of unR, but he doesn't play AA anymore for as much as I know.

PS. I was in  unR as well ( [unR]Plitter ).

Argh 1.2.1 (AA:O) – 3. October 2002, my favourite ever version =p. I stayed there until version 1.7 afaik. Until the devs came onto the servers and told us they where shutting it down. The community was great back then. Memories....
