Title: Stock ReadMe
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on June 26, 2012, 02:14:37 PM: Found this in the stock ReadMe...

Code: [Select]
Damage messages: On - all normal damage indicators Off - no immobility warnings; no player status bars; no scoring indicators

You can turn damage indicators and immobility warnings off? Maybe it just means all of the screen overlays during battle... Hell if I know.

Well, crap... I thought it would turn off the green numbers that appear when you do damage to the opponent.

All that does is hide all the extra graphics that appear on the screen, so you only see the bots and the arena. When a bot is being immobilized, you only hear the "beep, beep, beep" and don't see the countdown numbers. Makes a more "real-life" experience, as you can't see how many points, battery life, or chassis health the bots have.

I've found it useful to turn this off for taking screenshots of arenas for preview images. You can set the match time to "no limit" to get rid of the clock too so there's nothing cluttering the screen.
