Default Re: Message Delay

Hi Cross,

I had the same problem and found this 'tweak' which helps.

If you go into the directory

C:\Program Files\ShrapnelGames\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWWII\Game Data

You will find a file called Camogame.ini

Open this in notepad and go these lines

; Adjust message delay length by this amount of milliseconds (- deduct, + add)
; Basic message delays for the settings are
; 0=250 Milliseconds (1/4 second)
; 1=500 Milliseconds
; 2=750 Milliseconds
; 3=1000 Milliseconds
; 4=1250 Milliseconds
; Minimum delay is 20 Milliseconds, so a DelayAdjust of -250
; will result in Message Delay 0=20 Ms, 1 = 250 Ms, 2 = 500Ms etc


DelayAdjust=+1750;

Since I have the the message delay in preferences set at the max of 4 which equals 1 1/4 seconds I have added an extra 1 3/4 seconds to make in a total of 3 seconds.

This is done done by changing the line in bold above from the default of 0 to +1750.

It seems to only affect the bottom messages not the top but it does allow me to see which weapon kills and allows me to orienate myself a bit better during large firefights.

I liked your idea of putting the weapon hit percentage next to the bottom message as I have the same issue of having to flick between the two.

I hope this helps some

Good gaming

Simon
