Hold ALT key and Right-click to set rally point at this position

[VictorGB]

Hi

I will be hugely grateful to whoever tells me how I can get rid of this absurdly - in fact monstrously - 'in your face' campaign map tooltip that appears every bloody time you click on one of your own settlements. (So unnecessary after the first couple of thousand times it's popped up.)

What file do I have to edit?

I've spent hours rummaging around, running FINDSTR, etc. Please help.

Thanks in advance

Hi

On the off-chance that anyone is interested, I appear to have rid myself of this tooltip by unpacking descr_cursor_actions.txt and then deleting the:

tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point

statements in the following lines:

selected settlement
{
over own
{
default S (SetRpSel) S (SetRpSel) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point

land Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
sea Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
port Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
dock Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
garrisoned_dock Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
}
over enemy
{
default Na tooltip cannot_set_rally_point_on_enemy

rally_point Ig
}
over allied
{
default Na tooltip cannot_set_rally_point_on_enemy

rally_point Ig
}
}

selected garrisoned_settlement
{
over own
{
default S (SetRpSel) S (SetRpSel) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point

land Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
sea Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
port Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
dock Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
garrisoned_dock Ig (SetRp) Ig (SetRp) tooltip alt_to_set_rally_point
}
over enemy
{
default Na

rally_point Ig
}
over allied
{
default Na

rally_point Ig
}
}

Yup, that was the only way to do it.
You will however need to also edit your CFG file unless you play a mod already, else install my Bare Geomod base folder and use that together with the edited file.
Individual file unpacking is discussed here.

Hi Gigantus

Thank you. I am indeed playing your Bare Geomod mod as I want to be able to play the grand campaign on Windows 10 without resorting to Steam.


Just to expand on the above posts and make this a comprehensive solution - for those who, like me, find the number and prominence of tooltips excessive, and a distraction when playing this excellent game:

1. if you want to get rid of the 'roads do this' etc. popups, you need to edit tooltips.txt. See post #5 in
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-be-turned-off
and;

2. if you want shot of the 'English Merchant', 'English City', 'Whichever Faction Spy' etc. labels, you need to edit
"...\mods\modname\data\text\expanded.txt"

Best regards
