If you wish to stick to chat box from Findis:
Scripts->Chat20170610->ChatBox->chat_area
and add line:
chat:setFontSize( 14)
where 14 is the font size.
So this whole chat_area would look like this:
Code: Select all
-------------------------------------------------
-- Put your Lua functions here. --
-- --
-- Note that you can also use external Scripts --
-------------------------------------------------
function chat_area()
sendGMCP("Core.Supports.Set [\"Comm 1\", \"Room 1\", \"Char 1\"]")
chat_label = Geyser.Label:new({
name = "chat_label",
x = "650", y = "550",
width = "575", height = "25c",
color = "black",
});
chat_label:setStyleSheet([[
border: 1px solid white;
]])
chat = Geyser.MiniConsole:new({
name="chat",
x="651", y="551",
width="573px", height="348px",
color="black",
})
chat:setFontSize( 14)
setWindowWrap("chat", 80)
end

Thank you, Syrk.
That did fix the font issue. It also pushed the whole box a bit out of alignment (purely cosmetic), but more substantially, the box no longer wraps the text, so whatever runs off the edge is inaccessible. It did wrap successfully before I made the change.
So I tried YATCO. I did nothing but download it and import it (first uninstalling Findis's chatbox). Strangely, the window for the old chatbox still appeared, but with nothing in it. The only new behavior I saw was some highlighting triggers in the main area. I haven't researched this too far, though. Maybe I missed something. For now I'm back to the old chatbox.
Thank you, and Shanoga, for being so helpful. I really appreciate it.

the box no longer wraps the text
Correction: It does wrap, but it runs off the edge of the box beofre doing so. Looks like resizing the window would fix it.

If you wish to retain the box size and have bigger fonts you need to adjust the option below to lower number:
so try it with 70 or 60 or else.

Whoosh!
It is right there, isn't it.
Thank you, Syrk, and sorry for the thick question.
I must have been tired when I was fooling with that script.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

No. You are fine the way you are. It is the forum skin's fault.
Dark grey font on light grey background is not every visible.

I'm still using the map script Findis posted in June. I'm pretty happy with it, but in some places, it fails to track my location - only in areas where the map is bigger than the area assigned for it, so I have to scroll to display, for example, the northern part of the plains east of Solace.
I've increased the size of the container, but that hasn't solved it. Ideas?

It usually means the map was designed bigger than it should be. The in game client map also needs to scroll a bit too in these cases.
Isn't a huge issue as long as its a length issue, not a width one

Yeah I don't mind the scrolling, but the map script Findis shared doesn't track my location except when I "refresh" it by scrolling up and down. The web client does this just fine. If nothing dangerous is haplening, this is just an inconvenience. If I'm messed up and wimpying all over the place, it's pretty serious.

Do you have an example of one of the areas? As mentioned, I modified the map in a couple of ways and I'd be curious if I am having the same issue. One of the things you can try is reducing the font size in the map settings so your container doesn't have to be huge. Looks like I dropped my font size down to size 7.:
Code: Select all
setMiniConsoleFontSize("map_console", 7)
