Title: The you are dead box
Post by: Hellblazer on August 23, 2009, 12:46:15 PM

I'm not sure if this is something that can actually be changed. But here I go.

Would it be possible, to change the settings of that box so it doesn't appear every 15 seconds, or when an action like panning the camera is taken?  

I know you can change the gui, but I'm guessing that something else all together.

Having the you are dead screen appear when prompted, would be a lot less annoying to say the least. My idea there would maybe change the rest icon to the prompt for that screen when you are dead. I know on other worlds they have linked that rest icon under the Char pic, to other options and selection window prompting for emotes and such. But I don't know if linking the rest icon could be done for that window.

It's really not a high priority. It's just an annoyance when you are dead on quests and such for rp.

Thanks!

The You Are Dead Box is a standard Bioware Window, and for so, it is highly unlikely it can be modified in any way.

Correct.  How, when and why it pops up isn't really something we have too much control over.  I assume you're referring to how it comes up when you're trying to type.

Though you know, I'm unsure how it could be an annoyance to RP on quests, since...one should not be RPing while one is dead. ;)

Tells are another matter, of course, but you can get around that by hitting Enter again after the box comes up.  This should make the text entry line available to you, and then you can use:

[INDENT] /tp "BiowareName" Hey wow, I just got killed![/INDENT]

well basically if you try to pan your camera.. or even send tells, then it's a problem. Even more so if your chat box is not big enough to see the scroll text when people type all together, then you have no option to actually make it bigger.

That's the command I always use, providing the name is easy to remember and has no special letters in it, which makes the command unusable.

You can pan the camera with the arrow keys and the Page Up/Page Dn keys, I believe.  Yeah, the box still pops up, but then you can click "Wait for Help".

I understand what you're saying, but it works how Bioware wants it to work, and I'm not aware of any way to control how and when this box appears.

Well was worth the asking.
