Move the warning/info line

[erfik]

Hi, wouldn´t be possible to move the warnig/info line over PDA display? Because I have usually PDA on and the line in hidden under it (I can´t see Courseplay messages) Thank you

I have the same problem and was wondering about this messages, too. As far as I understand every vehicle as a line there. As I have a lot of vehicles these massage are spread over a high space. Maybe it would be possible to have like a bin for messages (instead of a line per vehicle), where vehicles can push messages into. Then this messages are shown above the PDA (or somewhere else).

Same problem over here ;) Maybe you guys can position it above the pda?

Correct - each vehicle has its own line (and therefore a specific y-position for that line).

Not sure I understand what you mean by "bin". Right now these messages (though I like massages better ;)) are in a global table. What I could do is not have a specific y-pos for each tractor, but rather line them up sequentially.

Generally, I can implement a user editable y variable, just like I did with the hud position.

With bin I mean some sort of table, so you already have that.

Sounds good

Generally, I can implement a user editable y variable, just like I did with the hud position.

Sounds even better, maybe if you already do this, x could be editable, too, so the user can decide where to place the messages.

By the way, seeing those messages, I never know which tractor tries to say me something, as I have a lot of tractors of the same type. Would it be possible to give the tractors names?

"Would it be possible to give the tractors names?"

That is exactly what i thought last time when he told me "deutz x720 is ready with his work" and i asked myself which one of these 8 driving around? I think it should be possible to add it to the vehicles.xml like other things right now.

@all: please try version 0204. Either go ingame and delete a course (so the courseplay.xml file will be saved) or open the courseplay.xml with an editor and add the following part under the <courseplayHud... line:

<courseplayGlobalInfoText posX="0.035" posY="0" />

Then edit the posXand posY value to your liking. Also, the tractors warning/info displays now contain the tractor's number (for better differentiation).

I've to wait for the hagenstedt modified update when they have trafficlights v2 inplemented. I think that the lua errors are gone then ;) The map is just awesome, but the "traffic" scripts (trafficlights etc.) are screwed... Let's have a wait ;)

How the hell does that have to do anything with this issue? Please don't post non-relevant comments.

Short test worked fine with 0207. Thanks for the feature!
