[ANSWERED][GAMEDEV/GP] Return of Separate Keys for NameTags / Chats

[InsaneCallum]

Hello,

TruckersMP use to have better options for controlling what we can see on screen.
F11 - This use to only hide name tags
F9 - This use to only hide chat

Currently with the "new" chat, only F11 exists and it hides both nametags and chat
I would like this to return to the game, I do not wish to see nametags but i would like to continue to see chats. Can this feature return?

Hi @InsaneCallum,

 

Thank you for your feedback and question.

 

We do not plan to "bring back" features. In fact, with the new chat system, our approach was to rethink the entire functionality from the ground up, as everything was completely remade. The same goes for separately hiding the chat interface that simply did not make sense in its original form. There are many reasons for this; as an example, F9 now overlaps with an in-game key bind, due to which many people hid the chat window by accident. Moreover, we have been questioning why the chat is the only element that must be hidden separately. Lastly, people missed important announcements when the chat was not visible. When developing the system, we could not answer all these questions satisfactorily.

 

All in all, if you want to see any change or addition to our modification, you are more than welcome to use the respective forum section: https://forum.truckersmp.com/index.php?/forum/285-suggestions/

We will then consider every suggestion separately as a new one and weigh the pros and cons at the time.

 

This is probably not the answer you were looking for. Nevertheless, I hope it provides insight into how we work.

 

Regards.
