Help to make a Mod !!

Post by gamesemailvp » Mon, 12. Aug 19, 16:14

Hello everyone!
I want to make a Mod to change the position of the Interface texts during the Flight (Example: Alert: Flight Assist disabled) and also the Subtitles.
I have unpacked the files, but I can't find the files that I have to modify ... :(
Who could tell me which are the files that control the interface texts and subtitles to be able to make my Mod.
Thank you!!

Hi gamesemailvp,

I'm pretty sure that subtitles and key-pressed messages are part of the UI (lua files) and hence a tough one ;-)

In general you can display onscreen messages at custom positions, for example

Code: Select all

<show_help custom="$Text" silent="true" duration="3s" position="7"/>
where the position numbers are defined in parameters.xml as

Code: Select all

 0: Top Left
 1: Top Center 
 2: Top Right 
 3: Center Left 
 4: CENTER
 5: Center Right
 6: Bottom Left
 7: Bottom Center
 8: Bottom Right
....
and a few special positions.

Sorry if I cannot be of more help here.

Cheers Euclid
