Sometimes, when I watch a match, I switch to window mode. The problem is that the huge radar makes it impossible to read more than the first 5 players in the list, due to the small window and the unchanged font size. Does anyone know a way to easily switch between huge radar + full opacity and small radar + little opacity? I'm hoping one of you already found some kind of a workaround. Changing the settings ingame every time can be annoying.

Switch radarsize/opacity
Re: Switch radarsize/opacity
If you set your score board font size to auto, I think it will adjust and switch to a smaller font size automatically when you go into window mode. Not 100% sure I understand your problem, though. Do you usually have max radar and max opacity? If you just want to check the player list quickly, you can toggle radar/console quickly.. right?

Re: Switch radarsize/opacity
one possible option is to edit your config to switch back and forth e.g.
bind 8 down "set radarsize 5"
bind 9 down "set radarsize 20"
bind 0 down "set panelopacity 1"
bind - down "set panelopacity .30000"
or you could put "8" instead of "0" and "9" instead of "-" and just have 8 and 9 change between the two.
edit: I couldn't get it to work. you can only bind one function to a key, and it didn't seem to want to change settings with a keypress, I'll play with it more later- maybe my values weren't valid?

Re: Switch radarsize/opacity
Some settings can only be properly changed from the options menus as they are more than just a variable change (i.e. they also call a function to make the change take effect).

Re: Switch radarsize/opacity
I have wanted the same thing. I've tried:The Red Baron wrote:any possibility for mousebox size change on the fly?blast wrote:Some settings can only be properly changed from the options menus as they are more than just a variable change (i.e. they also call a function to make the change take effect).
/localset MouseBoxSize <number>
bind W down "set mouseboxsize 10"
bind Q down "set mouseboxsize -5"
It works with this:
bind A down "set linedradarshots 65"
bind D down "set linedradarshots 10"
So I don't know why it doesn't work fr a mouse box switcher.
You an also use this patch that Carnage made (IIRC), it's a bit finniky, but it works great.

Note: I do not use that client anymore now that I have a faster mouse. I don't know if it's accepted in the GU league.

Re: Switch radarsize/opacity
fwiw, you can use "toggle" to map those into one button.
So instead of:
You can use:
(yes, I know, kinda off topic, but kinda on topic at the same time)
So instead of:
Code: Select all
bind A down "set linedradarshots 65"
bind D down "set linedradarshots 10"
Code: Select all
bind A down "toggle linedradarshots 10 65"

Gu leauge does not allow this type of modification. Please re-read the whitelist in one of the stickies:Bambino wrote:You an also use this patch that Carnage made (IIRC), it's a bit finniky, but it works great.

A modified client results in a permanent ban.Whitelist wrote:Only client patches are allowed that are explicitly allowed by the GU admin staff. Generally we allow no modification to the BZFlag code.
If there is any unclarity in the whitelist or our rules, ask. Not having read the GU league rules will not protect you from being banned. So if you haven't read it, i highly recommend doing so.
