Remove Cover Icon

[barakas]

I tried searching for this but nothing came up.

Is there a way to stop the "Press Ctrl to Cover" icon from popping up? Is there some setting I've missed in game? Or is there a setting in the .ini file you can change?

I think that is part of the new HUD hint settings introduced with the latest patch. I think they also added a menu option to remove them.

Launching the game the first time will add a setting, HUDTipsLevel, to ROGame.ini. Changing this will reduce the amount of text tips that appear on the HUD (0 - All Tips, 1 - Moderate Tips, 2 - Few Tips). Looking for feedback and later on we may add it as a menu option.

Will reduce hint tips. So far we have not heard much feedback from the community on this.

Cheers Yosh.

Having this as an option in game would be nice, but as you said there doesn't seem to be much community demand, and even I would prefer other stuff to be worked on at this point than little touches like this.

I think most simply don't know about it yet, and since there's more pressing concerns (snapping into cover when you want to pick up ammo/supply etc) there's not much talk about it.

I tried it and it doesn't remove the icon, but only the text. I don't use it because it seems the game crash more often with this setting enabled.

Yeah that was such a minor inconvenience that it didn't even register on my list.
It also bugs me that the game tells me to press a button to bandage myself when I am fading to black by death.
Way to rub it in, tip.

You guys should just go ahead and make it optional, why wait? In that way everyone's preference is their's for the choosing in an appropriately easy solution.

If not then it'll simply just come up again sometime in the future eventually.

Personally I like the tip only because it helps me know when i need to be careful about trying to bandage or pick up a gun. I like the cover system, but I'd like a separate use and bandage key before I go removing that icon.

Also: Hehe, like the tip.

Personally I'm all in favor of it being a menu option. The icons are helpful the first few times people play the game, but after that they start to become annoying -- especially the cover icon.

It would also be cool if we could tweak the HuD transparency like in RO1 for those that want the middle ground of having indicators without them visually blocking gameplay.

The more options, the better. You know it

The cover icon is a useful thing to have, as it lets you know when you're in range to a cover object, and when you're in position to mantle. Hiding the icon would make mantling tight objects a major pain. Being able to hide the long string of text associated with the cover icon cured my only gripe about it, because that was useless info that cluttered up screen space used for more important info.

I haven't noticed any other text being hidden, though, so I'm not sure what else the "Few Tips" setting does.

It should be a menu option. Not everyone thinks its fun screwing around with ini's

I'm using HUDTipsLevel = 2, the only difference I noticed is the text 'press to cover' is gone, and I like it being gone.

i just cant be arsed to open the ini-file ,its a bigger pain than the icons i guess, but idk yet, becuse havnt play this game for month

Yeah I noticed this as well.

Is there any chance of getting HudTipsLevel = 3?

I.e. no extraneous icons?

I'd really like an RO:OST level of screen clutter, it really helps with immersion IMO.

So true, god I really could use that smoke grenade laying there! I want the icons so I know if I'm against something I can get cover, not all structures are good.

What about the native language menu option?

 

[teemu92]

Hey, i personally would like to disable the hint text since i dont need em anymore, but i opened the rogame.ini and searched HUDTipsLevel but found nothing, so i put it there myself and i think it still works right?

On this subject, it would be awesome if we could have more control over the UI, like in RO1. All of this stuff could be set in RO1:
- What UI elements to show, for instance turn off the completely unnecessary compass in Classic.
- Text size
- Transparency (nice to have )
- Number of lines of text chat / kills
