Disabling Pop-down Messagfes On Right

nicuss

<div class="IPBDescription">Is it possible?</div> You know... the messages that keep dropping down in nice transparent boxes on the right side of the screen. Like "You're waiting to spawn" or "You comm has given you an order..." or "There are too many players on this team..." etc etc.

Can they be disabled or set so thet they come up in the chat queue instead? Besides covering half the screen sometimes they are incredibly laggy for my PC. I normally get 30 fps at 1024x768 but once the pop-downs fill it up I get like 3-4 fps and sounds are all distorted too <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

now if I could just find a way to disable hive sight/ waypoints etc, or make it more translucent.. I swear its hard to hit stuff sometimes with a big blue or yellow blob in the way.

It is acutally possible to disable hive sight.

Apotheosis

The one problem with disabling autohelp is that it removes <b>all</b> messages, including useful ones such as (when a gorge, for example) those that say you cannot place any more webs, or build more chambers in a particular area. It also stops the "Team 1/2 has won" message.

I would prefer to be able to disable all the annoying help messages that bombard you at the beginning, along with those like "this is a defense chamber" etc, but to keep the ones that tell you things that are going on in the game.
