Cutscene Captions?

All,

I started playing some lowbies on red-side recently, and I havent played lowbies on the villain side in forever. I noticed that in all of my cut scenes, I get no text, so I have no idea what the Snakes, etc, are saying.

Is there a way to turn that back on? I found some option that seemed to be it in my options, but it was already enabled.

Help?

Thanks,

Lewis

for your chat tab right click and hit edit, this should bring a pop up menu with everything that is in the chat box. What you are currently missing is NPC chat. The pop up menu has a right side of all the different chats and the left side is what is in your chat. So just click NPC chat from the right and click add.

I think the OP referring to the text boxes that appear during cutscenes.

I'm aware but if that's missing from your chat box the cut scenes wont appear either. I had it happen to me before and was a really big pain in the butt.

Oh... Well, that's cool.

There is Cutscene Caption chat channel as well that should be added.

Thanks for the responses.

Does it matter which chat tab I turn them on in?

I definitely do NOT want NPC chat turned on EVER, unless its in a chat tab I never look at. Please tell me it doesn't have to be in that lower non-tabbed chat area? I want to relegate it to an un-used tab I never look at.

I can tolerate having to have Cutscene Captions anywhere, and currently I do have it in one of my captured tab chats, but does it have to be in a certain one, such as the untitled main/bottom one?

Thanks,

By default both of those channels would be in your Global tab. If you have them parsed to other tabs or removed entirely the chat bubbles may not appear properly.

Personally I like NPC chat on, that way I can tell when Ambushes are coming. They always scream something when they are on their way.

I like them off because it clutters my chatting. Rats.

I thought that didnt work and the NPC dialog had to be in the lower un-tabbed chat window? Or does it not?

I just stuck it in window # 3 (In a tab called "NPC Chat") which I rarely even open, and NPC chat bubbles work for me.

I am not talking about the chat bubbles. I'm talking about the text on cut scenes. Someone said that I had to have both NPC chat and Caption CutScenes chat in my main chat window at the bottom.

I'll have to try it with a lowbie later, in the red side snake arc. Thats the earliest one I can think of.

Thanks,

Lewis

There's a cutscene in Breakout.

Ah right! I never do the mission so I forgot. I just take the mission the drop it so I can get to Mercy right away. Thanks for the reminder.

The bottom/lower window can have tabs FYI.

[/ QUOTE ] Of course. If there is no tab at all, the lower window wouldn't exist.. and there wouldn't be any chat in it anyway. lol

And the Caption and NPC chat can be added to ANY tab, ANYwhere. They don't have to be in the lower section, or any other specific place to be able to see it during a cutscene.. as long as it's somewhere. If you want to be able to read over the chat again after the cutscene, simply open the tab that contains that text.

Not sure if this is a good place to start - but the Cutscene Captions option when configuring your chat tabs is now gone ? Is it "automatically" always on ? Undocumented fix ?
