Option to remove 'vignette' effect

chaps,

is there a hotkey or ini change I can make that removes the vignetting/highlighting effect from the screen?

ta

edit: does it perchance have anything to do with this setting:

[FOG]
//COLOUR 0.89 0.72 0.73
COLOUR 0.00 0.00 0.00 // Fog changed to black as Fog is the colour showing outside the map borders when the map is zoomed right out.
START 800
END 1300

No - the vignette is part of the UI. My guess is it is in DATA/UI/BATTLECOMMON.TXT

Cheers

thanks Pip, it appears that

// --------------------- vignette

// [Battle_Vignette]
// type image
// x 0
// y 0
// width 1024
// height 768
// File MapVignette.dds
// IGNORE

has done the trick.

cheers

Ok, I tried adding the double slashes to remove the vignette and getting crashs.

// --------------------- vignette

//[Battle_Vignette]
//type image
//x 0
//y 0
//width 1024
//height 768
//File MapVignette.dds
//IGNORE

Copy and paste above is what I now have in the file. Anybody spot an error? It appears identical to chris merchant changes to me.

The erro message is "Found a duplicated name BattleCommon in file DATA/UI/BattleCommon.txy. The only change was adding the "//" before each line. Any ideas?

Just tried adding a space between each // and the following info. Still same crash.

This means your files have two chunks called [BattleCommon].

This is probably due to you having a modded version of BattleCommon.txt and a backup unmodded version in the /data/UI folder. Move the backup unmodded version to a /Backups subfolder and all should be well.
