Yes, search the forum, many threads about this.
-
See, this is the way users should talk. Sebas doesn't flame, just asks how to turn off the option. Good on you mate.

Well please just show him how to change it and please don't change it for everyone as I am a feeble old man who can't see for crap and like being able to once again read without coke bottles. :D :D :D

Hear ya on that one, it was too small before. Now to tweak the colors so I can read that damn awful blue on dark background. Would prefer Neon colors.......
-
go aa25assist, settings. then edit SAI Settings. i guess the 4th line is set to =true.
i am at work, so i can not post the exact line, but it is one above with something like shownames i guess.
-
its something like bDisableCustomConsoleFont=False - Change to True.
-
yes, just one above the line with shownames..... like KARI did say, it is that with ..Font.. to be set from False to True
-
Its cause they made the genius decision to have the default cater to people that play on resolutions from pre 2000 and those who are legally blind. - whom apparently complained it was too small before.
You have to edit some value. In the sai settings as mentioned above
-
so this means you can change your font via clientside. ok

You got that wrong Dav3, it's to cater to people who play on resolutions larger than 720p. With larger screens the text can often be harder to read. Remember, this game was made for older computers and screens. It's people that play on 800x600 that need to make the font size smaller.
Nice try though, trying to spam a month and a half old thread with your hate. Good luck next thread!
-
How can that be true? I play on 1680 x 1050 and it takes up half the fking screen.
Ive chatted with various others who play on other resolutions and they also need to and do disable this.
The vast majority of people I have spoken to need to and do disable the massive font. Why are changes being made to the game to cater to the minority and not the majority?
If anything it would be nice to make the font even smaller, and extend the console width.
-
I play at 1680x1050, am 24 years old and have no eyesight issues. I welcomed the larger font, it's much easier to read. Maybe it's just my shitty 6+ year old TN panel but I really like it. The original size was sometimes hard to read, especially with dark colors like blue. It was readable but now you can just glance and know what it says, instead of focusing on it and taking your eyes off the game.
We ALWAYS cater to the majority on here. It's not our fault if people don't come here to vote, pitch in or discuss things. We make a vote and it's like nobody goes in-game and says "Hey guys, head to AAO25.com if you want to vote on feature XXXXX". If people want to know what's going on with this game, they should come here and not only when it's down to bitch and moan.

I think you perhaps mean have not yet been diagnosed with eyesight issues. Im blown away we play on the same res and you think a massive font taking up half the screen is necessary. Maybe you have an incredibly small screen, ontop of it being 6+ years old
Maybe make a popup when you open assist letting people know of changes that are being considered.
Maybe even make another tab on assist with a poll to vote and it maybe even tie into the same poll on the forums?
I would be willing to bet the majority, if not VAST majority disable the massive font. ( or if they dont - would if they knew how )
-
Thank you for your opinion doctor but I see just fine. I can read the text in the quote without issue and my monitor is a 20" and sits about 1.5 arms length away. Perhaps it's due to the shit brightness it has but in-game text is poorly contrasted and difficult to read. Bright greens and dark blues, there's a reason you don't see many websites like that. You need contrast to be able to disseminate information quickly which is important in a game.
Assist does have information blobs in it and message alerts. Could they be used better? Probably. Still though, if you want to be part of something and have your say, do you sit and wait for people to ask you? No. You seek out information actively.
-
integrate the voting into assist is a great idea and would be more representative.
-
Blah pure madness.
Sure, it can be difficult reading blue and red font in certain scenarios - if its an incredibly dark map / area...but what do i do?...aim toward something that is light.
Screen real estate is important in shooters, or any game really for that matter.
I think you guys are making many of these decisions based on your needs being people of more an "Administrative" position - and not players. - and based on few complaints, not taking into account the majority who do not complain or have issues, thus catering to the minority and giving the shaft to the majority.
I mean, its not a huge issue cause I know how to disable it but I really dont think it should be default to on. If you have issues reading - look to enable this massive font feature. -NOT vice versa. We are getting new players going wtf this game is ridiculous look at this chat box. ( thats an issue )
Why would you put priority into the chat box? This isnt msn messenger, MS word, email, its a shooter game.

Dav3, the problem, as usual, with your assumptions is that you assume you're right. We aren't sitting around bored thinking about useless features we could add to the game. Someone (I'm 99% sure it was outside the admin/dev circle) came and asked about the possibility. ELiZ, being the kind of guy that likes a quick challenge, looked into it. It was quick to implement so why not do it? Making the game more flexible is always a worthwhile investment of time. Making the text larger, it just so happens that I enjoy it, if I do happen to play.
I find it absolutely amazing that you continue to complain about the game and our work yet you still play it. Are you a glutton for punishment?

So right there, you admit. Its a feature made to cater to a few.
Why would you force that as a default for EVERYONE.
Maybe its because I actually care about this game? And there are a TON of WTF were they thinking moments in the past 6 months or so.

Not sure what your point is.
That entire thread is basically you 3 admins and a few other people chiming in. Ill make another thread simply asking if they have the massive font disabled or enabled.

Point was that you think we're sitting around thinking of useless shit to do. Someone outside the admin circle brought the idea up and it was easy for ELiZ to implement. Problem? Yea, you'll find another angle to bitch about.
More people have said that it's an improvement. Guess what though, if you don't like it, disable it!

Once again the point of my posts are completely above your head it seems.

It must be because I have no fucking clue what your point is other than to annoy those of us who have put significant effort into Assist.
