Faster messages? : IV

» Thu May 03, 2012 7:51 am

Is there an ini tweak or mod to change how long messages stay on screen?

I use hotkeys to switch weapons in combat, and it can take several seconds before the messages cycle through to tell me what weapon I have equipped.. not ideal in combat.

SOLVED: MenuQue v10 beta 4 does it. Install then edit .ini file in data\obse\plugins, change 2 items to enable and set length of messages.

Unfortunately, no.

There's a parameter a scripter can specify in lines that print messages to specify how long the message should appear on-screen, but doing so doesn't have any actual effect.

ok. Thanks for the quick answer!

IIRC, MenuQue's next release (whenever that is) ought to fix that parameter.

This is in the beta of MenuQue

* Added fix for message duration always being 3 seconds (default duration is configurable).

So I guess it is already fixed? Gotta try it!

It, however, is not advised to use the Beta for MenuQue because it has some unresolved issues in other areas.

I found in the menuque.ini file bFixUIMessageDuration=0, I guess that's where I enable the change and the line below to set how many seconds.

fixed error:
Strange. Installing MenuQue in Wrye Bash results in a white box. Which means "the package is configured in a way that it has no files to install. This can happen for complex packages where none of the sub-packages are checked". What is strange is that the structure is identical to MenuQue 9's archive, except it has an extra text document.

It's Crashing to desktop when loading a game (like another commenter at the nexus). Looksh like I'll have to wait a little longer, Trebec.

Released today! Loads saves properly, no HUD issues.

I like how you can cycle items multiple times and it will only show you what you landed on.
