Title: Chat help? o.o
Post by: Waylander on June 22, 2011, 01:58:19 pm

How do you make it so your chat doesn't say how much damage you recieve or take?

To the upper right corner there is going to be a target like circle, you click on that and either turn off "Battle Message Display" or "Battlefield Message Display". It is one of the two. :( I'm leaning more towards Battle Message Display.

Hey Tiamat, maybe you can help my chat problems too ~_~
I've had custom chat tabs setup (guild chat, pvm lvling, etc) but they keep disappearing on me

Do you have the Lock on the upper right side in the LOCKED position? It's the farthest right icon. That might help with that. I know that makes it so you can't drag your tags, or change their names by accident.

Go to C:\Games\AnimusRO\Data and find ChatWndInfo_U.lua. That is where your custom tab settings should be saved. Make sure you have it and if you open that lua file. You should be able to tell if your settings are being saved.

Here's what mine looks like.

Code: [Select]

CanDragWnd = 0

ChatSubWnd_1 = {
XPos = 0,
YPos = 0,
Width = 0,
Height = 0,
TabState = "On",
TabName = [[Battle Log]],
option1 = 0,
option2 = 1,
option3 = 1,
option4 = 1,
option5 = 1,
option6 = 0,
option7 = 0,
option8 = 0,
option9 = 0,
option10 = 0,
option11 = 0,
option12 = 1,
option13 = 0,
option14 = 0,
option15 = 0,
option16 = 0,
option17 = 0,
option18 = 0,
option19 = 0,
option20 = 0,
option21 = 0,
}

ChatSubWnd_2 = {
XPos = 0,
YPos = 0,
Width = 0,
Height = 0,
TabState = "On",
TabName = [[Regular Log]],
option1 = 1,
option2 = 1,
option3 = 1,
option4 = 1,
option5 = 1,
option6 = 0,
option7 = 1,
option8 = 1,
option9 = 1,
option10 = 1,
option11 = 1,
option12 = 1,
option13 = 1,
option14 = 1,
option15 = 1,
option16 = 0,
option17 = 0,
option18 = 0,
option19 = 0,
option20 = 0,
option21 = 0,
}

ChatSubWnd_3 = {
XPos = 0,
YPos = 0,
Width = 0,
Height = 0,
TabState = "On",
TabName = [[Experience]],
option1 = 1,
option2 = 0,
option3 = 0,
option4 = 0,
option5 = 0,
option6 = 0,
option7 = 0,
option8 = 0,
option9 = 0,
option10 = 0,
option11 = 0,
option12 = 0,
option13 = 0,
option14 = 0,
option15 = 0,
option16 = 0,
option17 = 0,
option18 = 1,
option19 = 0,
option20 = 0,
option21 = 0,
}


If it's not saving. Perhaps try to run aRO as an Admin. Also, some AV software might not permit games like aRO to write on your HD and run on a sandbox.

I tried locking and it doesn't work

As for chats, mine does customize, but then goes away after a couple of days. It might have coincided w/ when I used the patcher or updated sakray...not sure

Updating your client shouldn't mess with those. At least from what I know. Unless you are doing a clean install.
Perhaps backup ChatWndInfo_U.lua and place it somewhere. Then when your custom tabs disappears again, just drop in a copy to your data folder. Not exactly the solution you're looking for but it should at least make it easier than re-creating the tabs again.

If all that isn't working... What OS are you running? And where is your RO located? Since I know Windows 7 and I -think- Vista have issues writing files to RO (which is what you're trying to do with your chat tabs) if it's in 'Program Files'.

Well, Fidelis is back. He should be able to give you an answer that could actually solve your issue.
