Thanks mate I've been having this problem for some time now too. I've been able to ignore it, but it's so much nicer having those ugly black bars removed from my field of vision. Great mod dude!

I had this problem with the tooltips leaving some very annoying black boxes on the screen. So I made this mod that disables all this mouse tooltips (mouse-overs) and makes those boxes disapear. The regulary game tooltips are unafected.
You can download it from here
Instructions
No Tips v1.0
This mod let disable all the mouse-overs (tooltips o mouse) that can make in time resident black boxes on screen. Hopefully Egosoft will solve this problem in the upcoming patch.
Installation Instructions
Just unpack this archive in the "Mods" folder from the X3 instalation folder. Run the game and from the initial interface press "Select Mod Package", and then select the "notips" one. Press Ok. Run the game.
All the mouse-overs will be gone and with them the black boxes you had, if any.
Uninstalation
Just unselect the mod from the mod packages
The instructions are also included in the readme file.
P.S. (I am game magazine editor and a have a review copy of this game that has no serial. Please somebody post this on X3 Technical Problems forum, because many have reported this issue there. Thank you!) |
What initial interface is he talking about. I can't find the place to activate mods.

Also make sure you extract it to the Mod folder under you game folder. If you have no mods in there the options will be grayed out.

IMPORTANT
This mod is not a proper fix for the tooltip problem. Although it will make the external symptoms invisible, it can in fact lead to worse problems in the future with long-running savegames.
I strongly recommend that anyone using this mod remove it and install the 1.2.1 update to correctly fix the problem.
Sorry all that I didn't see this sooner to make the warning.

Why didn't this comment came earlyer, BEFORE pacth 1.2.1.... I wonder...
Anyway, I am removing the download file and link.
I hope that the tooltip problem is really solved.

It seems to be fixed just fine in 1.201.
Thanks for the fix you gave in the interim though.
