codekestrel Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hi, Does anyone get the perk activation popup every time they activate? For instance when I use the Crouching Chameleon perk, a Fallout style popup appears indicated its activated. It get old really fast, so wondered if anyone knows how to mod that out?

IGSpelly Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) It is possible quite easily to remove them, but that means removing all use for that specific texture. Basically there is a texture file, and if you replace the texture with a blank one, you remove it from view. But the texture call remains until some savant decodes the xml files for us less cognitively endowed. Which is also what we need if we want to remove the texture from one specific location in the game... which is what we really want.

Silverforte Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Please, god, someone make this. Every time I leave a town, I get a popup from that perk that makes me stronger in the wild. It's so annoying. I really love this game but some of the design choices are just boneheaded nonsense that make me actually say outloud ala AVGN "what were they thinking?"

Marrv072 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I suspect editing the buff.xml and removing the text from between the quotation marks would remove the popup, it only seems to be present on buffs that have a popup;e.g. buff_ui_name="buff_forester"tobuff_ui_name=""And it should not show up anymore. Not tested that bit yet though. Edited February 21, 2018 by Marrv072 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thestigma Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think this problem is most easily solved by modding the texture to be transparent for the chameleon skill in particular.That seems to be the only one that is really annoying. The other activating skills (as far as I have seen at least) happen infrequently enough that it's not an issue - and being informed when your forester skill is active for example is actually useful. It's not the most elegant method of doing it but... this game doesn't seem to be so easy to create more advanced mods for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaceboPRS Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I tried removing buff_ui_name for crouching chameleon with no effect, also tried changing a couple of other things with no joy :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmVV Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) I tried removing buff_ui_name for crouching chameleon with no effect, also tried changing a couple of other things with no joy :sad: You need to delete buff.tbl from this .pak to activate changes you've made. I don't know how this action can affect the game, but somewhere someone says that .tbl files will be recreated each game run. However, after i delete rpg_param.tbl it was not recreated, but game still runs normally. P.S. make a backup for .tbl :) Edited February 22, 2018 by SmVV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
