Left align lobby

Postby Androish » 09 Oct 2017, 23:37

Hello.

I'd love it if it was possible to add a setting for right aligning lobby instead of aligning it in the middle as it is now.

I use UI mods to make my borderless windowed mode work as much as Dual screen as possible. But the lobby is always kinda fucked up.

Also I'd absolutely love it if support for border less fullscreen was officially supported :)

Here is how it is looking now, I want to be able to left align it instead of aligning it in the middle.

Since this is going to be a rarity, it's almost certainly easier to make a lobby mod that does this that people using the dualscreens mod can use.

That is probably true. But I'd also guess that there is a fairly large percentage that has more than one screen currently.
If it was easy to setup properly I wager a lot more would use it.

But personally I'd be happy with a lobby mod. I just have no clue how to do it :)

Yeah it annoys the pants off me.

Can a ui mod change this?

edit: no, it cant. This needs to be an integrated FAF feature, I cant fix it as a rogue modder.

Actually you can do it without integration. Take lobby manager for example. you just need to use a white listed name and place it in the game data folder afaik.
How to do it however is beyond me atm

I know how to do that. It's not really an acceptable solution. It's deliberately bypassing FAF security thus pretty dodgy. Integration makes sense.

Could be as easy as, if screen width > 2000px, only use left half of screen.

While I am all inn for integration. I guess you can make it and then ask for it to be whitelisted? No bypassing faf security
