Changing tooltip font size in 5.0

[mta]

I read somewhere that there is an option to set the font size for tooltip text, but got the impression that this was back in the 1.x days of AI War. Is this setting no longer available in more recent versions of the game? Thanks!

Yep, that feature is gone -- it was always a mess, but it specifically needed the font system of our old engine to work, too. That was back in the days before we supported true fullscreen, too, so for people wig oversized resolutions for their monitor it was really the only option. Now if the text is hard to read, you can reduce the fullscreen resolution to make it bigger on the screen; that makes everything bigger, including the icons, etc. Generally if the text is hard to read, the icons are hard to identify from being too small as well. So the new way solves the all in one!

Hope that helps.

I was actually going to make the font slightly smaller, but it's not that important! I figured it might have something to do with the rewrite of the game. Thanks for the quick response!

I just bought the alien bundle after messing around with the demo for awhile. So far I am enjoying the game, even as a casual gamer who is relatively inexperienced with strategy games. I wanted to find a solid strategy game I could spend several years coming back to, since most games I play tend to be throwaway titles without a lot of replay value. All the youtube tutorials you and Denaries made have been really great, as well as the tutorial missions.

For me, something about AI War evokes fond memories of mid 90s strategy games I used to watch my older brother play, which is pretty awesome.

What resolution are you playing on?

Oh, okay, I gotcha -- well, you actually can go the opposite direction and crank up your resolution a bit.  That will make everything a bit smaller, and you see more of the battlefield.  It's all about personal preferences as to what works best, I guess.

Thanks so much for the kind words about the game!  I'm glad you're enjoying it so well.  I've definitely had notes from a number of people that like AIW and who didn't consider themselves hardcore strategy gamers first.  That definitely is rewarding for us.
