Option to remove 'vignette' effect

[chris_merchant]

chaps,

is there a hotkey or ini change I can make that removes the vignetting/highlighting effect from the screen?

ta

edit: does it perchance have anything to do with this setting:

[FOG]
//COLOUR 0.89 0.72 0.73
COLOUR 0.00 0.00 0.00 // Fog changed to black as Fog is the colour showing outside the map borders when the map is zoomed right out.
START 800
END 1300

sorry unknown to me, but Pip may be able to answer and reply

No - the vignette is part of the UI. My guess is it is in DATA/UI/BATTLECOMMON.TXT

Cheers

Pip

thanks Pip, it appears that

// --------------------- vignette

// [Battle_Vignette]
// type image
// x 0
// y 0
// width 1024
// height 768
// File MapVignette.dds
// IGNORE

has done the trick.

cheers

Ok, I tried adding the double slashes to remove the vignette and getting crashs.

// --------------------- vignette

//[Battle_Vignette]
//type image
//x 0
//y 0
//width 1024
//height 768
//File MapVignette.dds
//IGNORE

Copy and paste above is what I now have in the file. Anybody spot an error? It appears identical to chris merchant changes to me.

The erro message is "Found a duplicated name BattleCommon in file DATA/UI/BattleCommon.txy. The only change was adding the "//" before each line. Any ideas?

Just tried adding a space between each // and the following info. Still same crash.

The error message is "Found a duplicated name BattleCommon in file DATA/UI/BattleCommon.txt. The only change was adding the "//" before each line. Any ideas?

This means your files have two chunks called [BattleCommon].

This is probably due to you having a modded version of BattleCommon.txt and a backup unmodded version in the /data/UI folder. Move the backup unmodded version to a /Backups subfolder and all should be well.

Thanks! That did it.
