Please show "Game Paused" text while in map

Post by Falcrack »

Hopefully this would be a simple request. It's just kind of annoying that when I am in the map, I can't really tell all the time whether I am paused or not. Would just be nice to have that text telling me if I am paused or not.

I assume it's not there because the text is pretty intrusive and you may actually be using the map while paused. But it could probably be made to show up similarly to SETA or something.

I'm not sure if it's because of a graphics option or not, but in my (unmodded) game, the map view is semi-transparent and allows the regular bridge/cockpit/hud view to show through it. This includes the "game paused" banner that appears when the game is paused. It's somewhat feint compared to the unobscured view, but I'm able to clearly distinguish when the game is paused. Another indicator is when objects on the map (if any) are animated or moving versus frozen still. But obviously this is situational and less ideal.

It's already there, at least with semi transparent map.

Would not want this myself, would find it very annoying. Frequently have the game paused for long periods of time while using the map & having Game Paused plastered right over the middle of it would just get in the way. Damn glad I can control whether it's visible or not that turning off/on Background Opacity (by the way, it's in the 'Other Filters' list of settings in the top-right corner of the map).
