Move messages to bottom of window on offline tiles.

[Nordon]

Hello everyone,

I'm stuck in a hotel with shit WiFi and I can't really access any of the webtiles servers.
Thus, I've resorted to downloading the Tiles client.
There is, however a minor hiccup.

The messages are displayed in the top left of the screen.
I'd really love to move them to the bottom left (as they are in webtiles) as I'm so very much used to it.

Does anyone have an idea on how to do it?
I can't notice an option in either the general INIT file or in the Option_Guide file.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried

1296.messages_at_top = false
1297. Put the message window at the top of the screen. This moves
1298. the last message close to the center of the view when not
1299. using clear_messages=true.

Heh, I see that in the default init this is set to "True".
And I've noticed that the default values are usually the opposite of the ones you can uncomment.

I clearly remember that some time ago, messages appeared at the bottom by default for tiles.

In the end, I need to download 0.15.2 because this current build generates +55 rings of intelligence and +127 rings of protection that, as you can imagine, just ruin the game for me.
Let's hope that .15 tiles have the messages in the "proper" place.
If not, I will resort to good old ASCII.

Thanks for the input though! Muc happreciated.
If anyone has other ideas, please do not hesitate and share them!

For anyone experiencing the issue, this was the cause:

tile_force_overlay = true

Taken from HDA's init files.
It seems to have no effect on the WebTiles version, however, it forces the messages to the top for the offline version.

This can be closed or something.

tile_force_overlay = true

I don't see that in any of my config files. I'm not even sure what that option does, but let me know if you figure out where you got it from.

Hrm. Might also be one of the RC files. I really have no idea what it does (except for moving messages to the top).
It was either your init/RC ro I got it somewhere between versions from the default init.

In any case, loving the init/RC files you made!
