Thanks for the feedback on those commands DeathBane I'll work them into the document I'm working on when I get to the commands we don't have available through the ui.


I know everyone has given this a shot, so far it seems the only really working option creating the new window that bottom.

I like to dink with these things just to see how they work, and the letter box is pretty intersting.
I want to play around with the camera control and see if I can find anything interesting like the max camera distance. I loev that one, and play with it like that all the time now.
I was dinking with the cl_setpov command last night.
0.5 seems the default spot, about halfway. seems to be the location of the main camera.
Setting it to 0.0 put it at foot level. But it goes all scewey lol!
I was doing my testing on the far journey and the camera drops below the deck, then it just sort of 'flops' around. lol
It also locks you from being able to move it at that point of view.
Moving it to 1.0 worked ok, but again it loks the camera in place.
There are quiet a few commands that are all going to be related to one another for that, but its fun to mess with.

Back to the letterbox.

It seems that everyone things that nothing is getting rendered under the black borders? but I'm not sure about that. If you set your letterboxs up like normal and move the camera around, the chatbubbles character names go under the black part, They are semi transparent for a bit, past the borders.

I'm convinced there is another setting that we would need to change along wih the letter box postion command.
We just haven't figure out which one yet.

The other alternative is to make that top bar transparent. Somehow.
It's one of the problem child problmes I guess. And low on the priority list.

If would could get it working with just a couple of commands that would be better then using another window.
