Hud Text Messages & Bad Karma tone

Post by **Royhr** » Sun Mar 29, 2015 9:07 pm

Is there a mod or some setting that will eliminate the text messages and the beeping you get in the upper left corner of the hud? To be more precise it's the messages you get whenever you use a grenade on a group of say enemies and you kill them and it tells you that you blew an arm off one guy and a leg off another and it will go on and on. It's pretty annoying along with a beep for every message. I don't remember seeing any setting in Darn that addressed this.

Also is there a way to eliminate that chime or tone you get whenever you lose karma? That's just as annoying....

Cool.... Never was aware of this mod. This mod handles the karma messages but what about the other messages I was asking about. Does it also eliminate those as well?

edit: OK I tested and I guess the mod doesn't stop the messages when you kill somebody... So it must only eliminate karma related messages and sounds... Will have to keep searching for a way to stop the kill messages if that is at all possible....

Ah those messages...like "You'll take somebody's eye out 2046/2046" etc. etc.

Well in my game theres no sound to accompany those messages, so I guess the mod removes the sound but leaves the messages. I agree though, those messages just need to go. Maybe request it in the Darn thread?

The ones that I hate is it telling me that I've dismembered somebody's leg or arm and there will be an accompanying beep or tone and this will go on for depending how many people you killed or injured with say a grenade. Haven't really tried it since I installed the suggested mod for karma. I did kill one person and it did give me a message but to be honest I didn't notice a beep though I actually didn't have my headset on at the time so....

i've never noticed a tone with the crippled corner messages. you could mod it out of your own game Q&D though, just remove the contents of those messages (not the messages themselves) in your merge patch.

I think they're referring to the challenge sound and messages, which is a beep effect that's pretty loud, and can produce a lot of messages depending on how you kill people. Karma is easy to fix, because you can set the game settings for the messages to empty and tell it to play a blank sound file. Challenges, however use a separate form for each challenge, and would require edits to all of them in order to 'fix' the issue. There are a few mods on FNV Nexus that remove challenge notifications, but they won't work for mods that add new challenges (like TTW).

oh, yeah, if they're challenges, you'd need to change the challenge entries. but the "crippled" messages are easier, iirc.

Well after playing and testing with the karma mod it seems that beeping I was having whenever the crippled messages would display has stopped so I guess the karma mod killed that annoyance. But the messages themselves still display. I can almost put up with the messages, it was really the beeping that drove me crazy.
