Popular Post ImOllie Posted May 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2018 Suggestion Name: Increase Accessibility for Visually Impaired Players. Suggestion Description: Hello TruckersMP! Today, I'd like to suggest that there is more ways for Visually Impaired players to play without problems! This Suggestion includes a few things, which I will list below. 1. Option to increase Chat Size 2. Option to Enable/Disable Server Announcements as Text to Speech 3. Change Chat Colours for Staff (Game Moderators, Community Managers etc) 4. Colorblind Mode (Replaces Red with Blue or Yellow) Any example images: Menu Addition: Menu Contents: ^^ The Red on the left will be what the Announcement and Game Moderator color will be replaced with whatever is entered on the right ^^ Why should it be added?: I may be the only Visually Impaired player on this Mod, but I highly doubt I am not. I struggle day in, day out with my eyesight and I love to play TruckersMP to relax and forget about my worries, but I have the same issues when I play, I can't read chat. I have tried UI Packs but they don't seem to work. If TruckersMP really is an accepting, for everyone Modification, then this should be added. Also, in no way am I saying that other disabilities shouldn't be accommodated, these are just the examples I have thought of due to my personal condition. It may seem a bit pointless if you don't suffer from these issues, but I can assure you, it is definitely worth being added. I just hope that the Community Managers think before denying this suggestion, because it could improve the experience of people like me, who constantly have to deal with these circumstances. Final Points: I would also love to help with any input if this is accepted, as I have these issues, I can provide feedback on what has been done, but that is up to you. Please feel free to comment your thoughts on this suggestion as I am very interested to see what the Community thinks Should you not know what Visual Impairment is, here's the definition (From Wikipedia) Partially or completely blind. Thank you for reading, Ollie // Updated 4th January 2019 4 1 35 1 3 Kind Regards, Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cFerguson Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 It's nice when a person considers you. It's unbelievable when a company does it, when a company thinks about you, designs something for you. All of a sudden, you're not the person on the outside. I strongly believe that this should be implemented. Making a game accessible to everyone should be a priority for anyone with the capability to contribute in even the smallest of ways. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsd4nny_ Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 If this was to be implemented it would help me because i also sometimes struggle to read chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jacks Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Great suggestion! To be honest, I do not have the best eyesight and to be able to re-size the chat text would be a lifesaver instead of having to go close up to the screen to read what has been said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev. Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Would also help for resolution support as currently menus and chat don't resize. I'm all in favor. A great suggestion! 1 Steam | TruckersMP Profile | SteamRep | Twitch Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FernandoCR [ESP] Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I wouldn't need any of it, thank the gods, but if it can be added (I have no idea about programming, so I don't know if it's feasible), it should, definitely. Maybe it will come a day when I'll need these features too. Great idea, you have my +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Jefferz Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 TBH I can relate to this. In December I somehow got a scratch to my eye, It cause me to loose 75% vision in my right eye but due to other illnesses it takes longer for my body to heal. At the time my left eye was taking the strain and so this caused my left eye to become so strained it also become slightly blurry. Because I was a Game Moderator at the time I was unable to process reports efficiently due to my sight loss. I had no option to leave the team as I wasn't meeting the criteria at the time to stay as a Game Moderator. I feel the suggestion above is quite a necessity to make the community even broader. +1 from me of course. 1 || Currently: || || Former: || || || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDP_Army Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I believe this would be a very good idea to implement to have the options for people who are visually impaired, to widen the community, and incorporate people regardless of how good, or bad their eyesight it, even the ones who are not visually impaired would benefit from these added functions +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegaz Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Great suggestion's @EHHVTC I Ollie. I am not visually impaired but think the suggestion's you have made are great and should be a must add. Adding those functions would make it much more relaxing game for those that are visually impaired. 100% support this and hope they can add it to the game ASAP :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EchoSpot Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Although wouldn't need these options, I know many players that would benefit from the suggestions made, and possibly others that aren't listed. I think this would be a great addition to the mod and would show the community that truckersmp isn't a numbers game, but a mod team that cares. @EHHVTC I Ollie Great suggestion mate, certainly gets my +1. 2 | SCS Beta Tester | Haulage 64 Founder | Game Rules | Report a Player | Submit a Ticket | Ask for Help Ex-Support Staff TMP !!

AlmightyAlfo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Totally agree, since I wear glasses myself, but luckily I see well enough I wouldn't need this option (I suppose). You got my +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScaniaFan89 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm not colourblind but have split optic nerves so have poor vision, if the text could be made bigger or put in a chat box so you can see it clearly that would be a big help! i have the dark theme on the forum so i can see things better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhishek712 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Even with normal vision, the chatbox seems to be very small, so it would be great if this was added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
