Hi,

I've checked the forum etc. but I'm unable to find a workable solution for my issue (or I may being stupid due to lack of sleep!)

I'd like to customise the size of the text windows that display in game messages.

The concept is that when a message is displayed the whole screen is blacked out with the message displayed in the middle - think silent movie style.

I obviously know how to use a custom text window/font etc. it's just getting the window to be larger.

I've tried re-sizing the GUI in game but it doesn't seem to work, the size of text window seems to be reset to it's standard size close around the text.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Text windows only size to the text displayed within the window.

You will need to make your own custom gui (not a new text window but normal gui) and then call it in the game settings by using the gui number to use for dialogs.

As a background image you can draw and put additional text on it (nod)
