Ask the devs an MXO question

bonobi

I stopped for the last two so that others can get questions in...
but as I stated earlier, I have nothing to do till next year and I'm stuck at home because of my back.

But don't worry, I won't ask again for a couple...:smileywink:

BTW, (shameless plug of my own)

if anyone is interested at what HC's referring to with the Player Events Team...check here

It's going great. I know I have my favorite but it can't win due to the sheer quantity of swearing... but it's really funny. SMILEY

Walrus was showing me a bunch of the entries and they are all really
great. We have a fantastic community here that just oozes creativity.

Can we make all the hacker effects a toggleable thing, actually any effects? I would like to turn off all the colored bright effects like combat stats.

Thanks, I just hate seing all the bright colors in the dreary world of the Matrix. It is cool if you like it I would just like to be able to turn it off. It cant be that hard to do.

All effects are already toggleable. Check your graphics options. Unfortunately it's the option to turn ALL effects on and off. Really really really really really really helps the fps to turn them off, but makes it hard to fnid the right desk in your mission ;-}

Arachnis

I mean just toggle off combat stuff and where is this option you are talking about?

Not trying to hijack the thread with this but, really quick, thanks for
that, Sykin. We jumped the gun with the server switch and certainly
miss all those we used to interact with out there. SMILEY

Options/Video/Advanced

Down towards the bottom left is a drop down where you can choose effects to be shown for no-one, just you, just your group (team?), and for everyone. It covers all the crazy lights and images that pop out of you during combat, when you use an ability, and even the loot effect.

There is a seperate toggle box for combat text (i.e. the damage numbers that pop up on you, etc.)

That reminds me, anyone know what "Load Sector LOD's" does??? heh... threadjacked a dev ;-}
