• Disable Multiplayer Chat

Posted: **Fri Sep 15, 2006 7:58 pm**

Flaming Cliffs 1: A change that has to be made by EACH client (if desired) is to remove the Multiplayer Chat (window in-game). Follow these steps:

Go to: ...Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Config\network\config.lua
Open the config.lua in Notepad
Find the following:
Code: Select all
```
chat {
	height = 95;
	delay = 10000;
};
```
Change it to read:
Code: Select all
```
chat {
	height = 0;
	delay = 0;
};
```
Save the changes in the config.lua

This will get rid of the Multiplayer Chat Window (Ctrl-M) for you and not show any distracting messages across your screen if others start chatting or events that take place within the game, such as someone landing or entering the server. Since this is a client setting, it only affects what YOU see on YOUR screen while still allowing others to chat.

Flaming Cliffs 2: In order to change the size of the chat log (while the chat box is not active) you need to edit the chat-log.res located in: ...\FUI\Resources\Multiplayer\

Find the following:

Code: Select all

\dialog
\begin
	\tag{-1}
	\coord{0, 18, 1023, 190}
    	\musthavecursor{0}
    	\acceptmouse{0}
    	\topmost
    	\layer{900}
\end

\multicolumnlistbox
\begin
	\tag{2}
	\coord{20, 0, 1003, 190}
  	\defaultitem{Multiplayer/def_list_box_item.res}
	\columnswidth{200, 803}
	\rowsnum{10}
	\readonly{1}
	\visiblescrollbar{0}
\end

Change it to read:

Code: Select all

\dialog
\begin
	\tag{-1}
	\coord{0, 18, 1023, 0}
    	\musthavecursor{0}
    	\acceptmouse{0}
    	\topmost
    	\layer{900}
\end

\multicolumnlistbox
\begin
	\tag{2}
	\coord{20, 0, 1003, 0}
  	\defaultitem{Multiplayer/def_list_box_item.res}
	\columnswidth{200, 803}
	\rowsnum{10}
	\readonly{1}
	\visiblescrollbar{0}
\end

You need to edit the \coord{x, y, w, h} lines. The last parameter is responsible for height, each line of text is 20px. As such, having a value of 60 will give you 3 lines of text max while the chat window is closed. The default value is 190, and by using 0 it should remove the chat log from being displayed altogether.
