Problem with visibility map/target info

Post by Retrox » Mon, 29. Jan 18, 18:41

Hello everyone,
I restarted playing X:Rebirth after a long time (last time played was in 2014) and im really happy, cause the Devs added many new features and fixed many bugs. I really like the ability to have a map of the near area around the ship. Unluckily, the info screen shares the same screen with the (small)map screen, so i can hardly see anything, if im around a station of capital ship. Is there a way to prevent this showing up or change the location where it will show up?
Intel i7 8700, Gtx 1070, 16gb RAM. I think i'm ready for X4. Bring it on, Egosoft!

You can toggle map view with a hotkey (I think it's ctrl+R, but check the key bindings in the menu) to prevent target info from displaying.

You cannot, however, prevent the various alerts and comms from popping up all the time, even if you're getting your ass kicked in a dogfight.

I just assigned one of my joystick's buttons to the map display and keep hitting it as soon as something shows up.
(I also use the "silence you all" mod to reduce the various incoming messages to a minimum and preserve my sanity from the NPC banter. It helps, but it's still no panacea when it comes to the radar display.)
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.

Some people never develop beyond this stage.

Shift+R not ctrl+R :wink: At least that's what the vanilla key settings for it are.

Thanks for the correction. Like I mentioned, this is now hotkeyed to my joystick, so I didn't use it in months. 8)

The loss of multiple cockpit monitors of X2 was the saddest thing as I progressed from there to x rebirth.. Guess just too much changed and it's not practical or doable in the new codebase.

Sadly, it didn't appear to be making a comeback in X Foundations best I could tell after spending a couple hours scouring the numerous sneak peeks and Q&A topics.

Ah well. The new map and UI appear to be a great step forward from the X rebirth layout.

The 2 minimap/monitor keys to fiddle with would be SHIFT + R and SHIFT + M per default control values.

The monitor is one of the annoyances I have with this game. Once you build up your empire the message spam is massive. It's not just the visual annoyance but sometimes it also locks you into doing anything else while a message is shown on the radar screen. I haven't found a way/mod to completely disable all banter and "trade is complete" nonsense.
