Experience learned that alot of players asked to change to smallfonts, and disable the emoticons.
My thinking was to prevent this, by changing the default values.

Sorry I never saw this but ok will do next time around
Just looked, SmallFonts is now set True as default in 18, 19 and 20.
Next time I will sett bUseEmojis=False as default.

I think leave it as is and let the player/client decide if they wish to see them or not.

NB: Updated version 20 into first post.

If it's not possible to keep client- and serversided, the player should keep their freedom of setting it by them selfs indeed.

Chat window must allow resize. It is very unhandful use it on current size. Best if this size preserved across runs. And reduced to stay on screen always if you change resolution for example.

[Que]

too small for you Buggie?

[Buggie]

Yes.

I use v469c preview. Scaling off. All other UI is fine.
Anyway it user decide how big window must be. Like UT console do.

[Berserker]

Does this mutator allow to add custom emojis, reading them from a Texture.utx file?

[Que]

nah just some basic ones embedded.

Code: Select all

:) = smile
:( = grin
:^ = eyes
:+ = thumb up
:- = thumb down
:o = lol
:f = fist
:k = ok hand
:t = thinking
:b = bomb
:c = cool
:u = point up
:p = tongue out
:s = poop
:w = wave
:q = question mark
:z = zZz

If :? is in the Say then a list of abbreviations will be shown.

I like it so far. I do wish there was an option for the message duration, since right now a chat message stays on the screen for 10 seconds, compared to 5 seconds with the original chat. There are also some strange things going on with the scaling, when testing on different resolutions.

1080p:


720p:

[ProAsm]

Scaling is a difficult problem in resolutions higher than 1440 x 900 but we try.
Some like it big and others like it small.
The time duration has always been 7 seconds and depends on how many lines you display.
I'll see if I can make this variable.

*** Edit ***
The scaling in UT for 1:1 is as follows:
The (HudScale times the Current Horizontal Resolution) divided by 1280
The HudScale can be found in your User.ini

So in your case 1920x1080 is 1.5 times 1280x720 and looks pretty good to me

[ProAsm]

In next version, you can adjust the font size to suit your self, or right over for auto fonts.
You can also set the chat duration timing as well as the other messages duration time.

Chat area always transparent. Which make it unreadable. In battle especially.

I not use team color hud in team games.

Can this be fixed in next version?

And my HUD is completely solid. No Any transparency here.

Wanna note some stuff:
Original UT suffer from same problem: https://github.com/OldUnreal/UnrealTour ... issues/640
Nexgen solve this problem by draw own chat area, which is solid and good readable.

HUD solid -> Chat area solid. All good readable on any map. Even super bright.

As on Discord, perhaps a slider to adjust the "solidness" could satisfy all people here.
