Unreadable texts on blue background
Hello I'm still playing this awesome mission but now I have a problem, texts with a blue background on the right side of the screen are too small and totally unreadable. It was not like this before how can I fix it ? Thanks

See the pbo file ( .../documents/arma3/saved/Steam/wla amalgamation.altis.pbo).
In this pbo, there's guicode.sqf and especially sharefuncs.sqf :
Search for "ctrlsetFontheight". (It controls the text size in the main message boxes)

For the "tiny texts in blue box", just open sharefuncs.sqf and change the last parameter (from 0.01 up to 0.035) ;-))

Hope this helps...

This worked! thank you so much for your help!

On a similar note, would you happen to know how to fix a few other issues related to the GUI? I am having difficulty with the top left GUI boxes (the one that displays the "prestige/power/pier/factory/etc.") cutting off the text within the box. Additionally, the other GUI box that usually appears blow that one (the one that normally shows if a certain area is "friendly/hostile/neutral" along with their provided "specialty") does not seem to appear at all.

Here is a link to what my screen looks like in-game for context:

if you know how to resize these boxes and/or prevent them from disappearing after some time, I would love to hear how!

Thanks again for all your help; you've been amazing!

From what i saw (and understood! ...as i'm not english native speaker), i think you should try to reduce the "ctrlsetFontheight" in the guicode.sqf:
If i remember, it appears 5 or 6 times in this file, and one of them certainly does have effect on the top left textbox.
...Sorry: You'll have to try one by one.


I do suspect you use "Normal" user interface size (Option/Video/Display) : Maybe try "Small" or very small. It could help too!


(Amazing, me. ...if only!)
;-)

Has anybody successfully found a PBO manager that works? I know nothing of coding, so Eliteness is driving me nuts with all the Rapify errors that I don't know how to fix. PBO Viewer allows me to extract/create pbo but when I start up WLA it crashes. I just wanna be able to read the text!

Hi EVmeister,
In windows explorer, right click on the PBO file and choose to "unpack" it. Edit the above text size in the files, then right click on the folder and "pack" it back into a PBO file. Hope this helps
