Text in my face!

Post by þsy »

I've realised that I'm getting frustratingly annoyed with text dropping down across the screen when I'm trying to play, and I end up tapping page down every 3 seconds.

I was wondering if there some way to stop it going down so far, so I could make it stop at a certain point in the screen? If not, is there some method of making the text smaller?

CONSOLE_ROWS and CONSOLE_ROWS_MAX.

Also, LINE_HEIGHT (could be just ~0.3+).

Thanks for your help, thats definitely along the right lines for what I'm trying to achieve, though not quite there yet.

What exactly does CONSOLE_ROWS do? I had a play with CONSOLE_ROWS_MAX and that would perfect, except I can't read the most recently said thing. LINE_HEIGHT didn't register as a command

Wouldn't you prefer getting rid of the text... permanently?

No, text is important to read for team commands and communicating with people. Tab doesn't work for me, my tron is a bit messed up. Any ideas?

You can make the text smaller by increasing CONSOLE_COLUMNS.
