*** DOWNLOAD ***
eaxs's transparency mod

*** INSTALLATION ***
Unpack the file in the package to:
Windows = <User>\Documents\Savage 2 - A Tortured Soul\game\ui

Linux = /home/<user>/.savage2/game/ui (Thx Vadi)


If the "game\ui" folder does not exist, just create it.


*** TO MAKE IT REALLY USEFUL ***
This mod is especially useful if you want to display the altinfo permanently. To do that, open the file:
<path to documents - savage2>\game\startup.cfg

At the end of the file, add:

BindImpulse game ALT Cmd "Action AltInfo"

In-game, hit your ALT key once to permanently display the altinfo

Thanks for this great mod. Also the FPS doesnt drop in a large scale battle with Alt on.

I like it, but it's a little bit too transparent for me. Names are hard to read sometimes.

Just epic.

Can you toggle (alt once turns them on "permanently", alt again turns them off again)? If not, I think that would be a good extension. Looks like it should be possible.

I played a few matches and experimented with the values to get the best result. I Just updated the mod and the screenshot. Things should be a bit more visible now.

I don't know. I wish there was a better documentation for the scripting. There seems to be a "toggle" function. But it's unclear to me how it works.

I'm pretty sure this already existed, but good work!

Thanks. It's a simple mod, really. Now I updated it again. I forgot to make the blue bar for lifetime/build time transparent. I also played around with the red/green values for the health bar.
The health bar is now "really" green when full, not brown. I also reduced the height of the bars by 20%.

The path on Linux would be

/home/<user>/.savage2/game

The toggle function is:
Action AltInfo in console

It permanently turns alt info on until the alt key is pressed again. I use it with Stanz UI's alt bars and the alt key unbound to produce permanent cool altinfo.
