Suggestion: Command to Hide Text

[Train-a-Mania]

I don't think this has already been implemented (if it has, I apologize for missing it), but could there be a feature to enable and disable the text that appears in black bars when moving the controls?

Which option to suppress the message when you take a screen shot? They seem to stay on a long time and if you are trying to get a few in a short time span, the subsequent pics get the command in the pic.

There is no option to suppress them and have posted about it previously.

Most of us use other screenshot grabbers and we know where they are being saved to, having set a folder to store them.

ORTS having it's own screenshot grabber and where it saves them to should only be mentioned in it's Manual.

We do not need to be told that every time a screenshot is being taken when running a route and when it has been taken will be obvious by it's "Date Modified" !

Hi Mike,

Perhaps you are using the current development version 0.8.0.1251.

A request was made about unwanted messages some time back and they were fixed in v1343 (25th Nov 12). You can download the latest experimental version from http://openrails.org/experimental.html

Also, if you hold down the PrtSc key, OR will take a sequence of screenshots as fast as it can.

Hope this helps,

I am using the X.1388 version of ORTS and nothing has changed when taking screenshots.

Hi Otto,

The screen looks just the same, but the screenshot is now taken _before_ the message appears.

Give it a try.

ORTS screenshots taken with Print Screen started showing this black band in version 8 but does not any more in experimental releases since.

My point and that of others is that we do not want to see it in game. Period !!!!!

Please don't shout at us Otto, we can read politely "spoken" text too.

The Dev Team's priority at present is bug fixing, so this will have to wait, I'm afraid.
