This is where our experts try to teach you the very flexible modding system for our previous release - SOW Gettysburg and its add-ons. It's powerful, but dangerous. Post your tips and your questions.

Try this. It's a little rough still but it works for me. And I believe you and I have the same problem. I don't think it will work with the B&F mod because RB has his own version of the Large Courier Screen and I think they'll conflict.

If you haven't been following the threads on this subject (and who would blame you!) this has the feature which toggles the Toolbar.

Let me know how it looks for you. If I can help, let me know. It's hard for Davinci to make adjustments because he doesn't have the same problems. Screenshots really help.

Thanks
I've actually been following rather closely. I was just waiting until I saw something released to give it a try, but I imagine my laptop will be causing some issues with it due to the fact that it's bigger than the average laptop. I will give this a try and post screens for you.
Success! It worked just as intended, even with Bugles and Flags active. I did notice that after I had exited the message that 20 seconds had elapsed, so something about this mod is disabling the pause that occurs when you receive a message.

I was in error before when I said it would not work with B&F. That was because I prioritized it. Place it below B&F in the modifications listings and it will override the B&F courier screen.

I didn't notice. Let me see if I can script that.

Wait, so the higher it is on the list, the more stuff will override it?

Try this one.

You know I just took a wild guess as to the command which would fix that. I've quietly decided to document the Interface and Appearance commands for all of us with bloody foreheads from beating our collective heads against the wall.

Cannot confirm the results, being as the toolbar never came back! :unsure:

You need to hit the "H" button before you exit the screen. That will bring the Toolbar back. None of us were able to figure out how to toggle it on exit automatically.

You're good, that fixed the toolbar issue, not to mention whatever you did before fixed the pause issue!

Thanks. But it's really been a collective effort with most of the credit going to Davinci.
