Text size in tooltips

August 10, 2008 1:26:35 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
Hello all!

I see a lot of complicated posts here, mine is fairly simple.  I run Sins at max GFX settings including a 1920 X 1080 Resolution and I'm outputting it to an HDTV.  My question is, where is the text size/ tooltip resize button?  The text is so teeny tiny at that Res and I don't want to change it off my TV's Native Res.  Everything would be PERFECT if I could only read the text without sitting 2 feet from my TV.  Is there a possiblility of addressing this for a future patch or something? 

In case anyone's interested:
  • 36" Sony Bravia HDTV 1920 X 1080
  • INTEL Q9450 Quad Core CPU 12mb Cache 2.66MHz 1333FSB  @ 3.20 GHz / 1600Mhz FSB
  • Memory (RAM) 4 GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz OCZ
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra 768Mb 384Bit
  • Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2/  7.1 Channels

You can try editing Font\InfoCardStandard.font in your Sins folder...

Yes! that worked. Ok one problem though. Some of the text falls outside of the tooltip window and in some cases off the side of the screen. Is there a way to move the tooltip to the left side of the screen instead of the right? That way, even if the text falls off the right side of the tooltip, I would still be able to see it.

I think you need to adjust "offsetFromTopCenterWhenFullScreenDialogOpen" in "Window\InfoCard.window". Reduce the x value in the [x, y] pair to shift to the left. Setting x to 0 will move the window to the center.
