i [Resolved] Toggle via detailed info key (by default left alt)

(updated 7 years ago)

I know this feature was suggested previously but that thread is 8 months old now.

Normally information is not overlaid on top of sprites outside of detailed info mode unless it's a warning or error, so it makes sense for Bottleneck to at least optionally behave this way. A separate toggle key for Bottleneck would also suffice. You [trold] did mention in the previous thread that Bottleneck had a toggle button but I have not had any luck funding it in the controls settings, although I think you could have also meant the 'Bottleneck Show' checkbox in the mod settings which is not in the controls settings and therefore not bindable to a key, so it is unclear what you meant.

Unfortunately, it isn't possible to have the lights in the detailed info layer (for any mod; not just Bottleneck), so we have to make do with a seperate toggle key. The hotkey was disabled when the mod changed to use the options menu. I'm struggling a bit with getting the hotkey to play nice with the options menu, but it should be in the next release.

Good to know I wasn't just momentarily blind whilst looking for the toggle key in the controls settings. I look forward it hopefully being reinstated in the next release then, thank you trold.

Bump, we had to disable the mod entirely in multiplayer because apparently only the admin can toggle it for everyone else or nobody. it's pretty annoying i love the mod but it annoy some people and since we can't have it per player it's disabled now.

There is nothing the modders can do about the "per player" feature, so you'll have to live without it.

Also the toggle hotkey which did the same thing had the same .admin checks in it for the longest time.
