Chatbox Removal/Movement

[carcinoGeneticist]

I don't know if this was asked previously, and I understand this might be complicated, probably being a .dds change and all, but would the possiblility for the removal/movement  of the chatbox at the bottom of the screen to the side or none at all? Thanks in advance, and I would type more, but my class period just ended, so I gotta run.

Like remove the whole chat box and stuff but be able to type still?

That would be a great idea lol Throw in the remove all interfaces and you'll have a 3rd person game with no idea how much hp you have or stamina and mana. That would make the game a bit more interesting. I remember ppl doing that on combat arms. Couldnt tell who was ally or foe and end up killing each other mad funny,

I'd bet it's possible through XMLs.  If not, there's got to be a color, line, or box in a .dds that could be changed out, but that's not saying it's going to be easy to identify that dds as being associated with the chat.

Yeah, that's what I was going for, because I'm looking for a type of minimalistic sort of interface. If I could learn how the hell to edit .dds/.xml files I could do this myself and upload it for everyone to use, but I don't and for guides, I'm like, "tl;dr"

Yeah, it'll provide me with move field of vision on my screen and could help me a lot.

Yeah, I was assuming it would be pretty difficult, especially being involved with .dds files.

.dds use paint.net and xml notepad

So after fiddling around with unpacker, I found this, but no indications of the chatbox being present in the file, "interface.dds" am I looking in the wrong file?

This is what I found in interface:

May not like this answer, but i don't know really.  Only advice i can give you, fine anything with a box outline, not filled, and make it a bright color then start the game.  See if your chat box becomes a bright color.  You may wish to color multiple things at once, but make them different colors such as red, blue, or yellow.  That way you can more quickly find out if what you want is in there, and you can identify the color that made the change, and thus the location.

Thanks for the idea, I'll try it tomorrow, or in my case, today (it's 3 AM now).
