How to hide those #+*!+ Labels

[pete83]

Hello,

I couldn't find any advice on that, wherever I looked. I installed the version 1.8 from the Ubuntu repository, but now, whenever I create a random map in multiplayer, I have tons of stupid name labels on my screen (like on every village, on every forest, mountain), and I want to get rid of them. Yet the only way possible I have found is to right click and select "set team label" and set this to empty string. Which is pretty impracticable considering the vast amount of labels...
Is that really the only way? This is seriously limiting the fun... Even though I love wesnoth otherwise
Anyway, any help would be highly appreciated (probably there is a really easy solution and I was only too stupid to find it, wouldn't be the first time...)

Greetz!

Command+C should clear labels. Not sure if that works in Ubuntu, if not, look in preferences hotkeys for "Clear Labels."

[pete83]

Hmm, yeah, I found that in the manual, but somehow it doesn't work... All the other key combinations work... (Like Ctrl + r, Ctrl + v , etc.)
Maybe there is something wrong These labels were never there in wesnoth 1.6 anyway...
Thanks for your reply though
Maybe this is a bug in the ubuntu version...

Odd, because I recall them in random maps since as far as Wesnoth 0.9.6.

Hmm, might there be a global option to switch that on or off? I'm sure that in 1.6 I didn't have these, otherwise they wouldn't have struck me now suddenly...

Doesn't seem like there's a way to switch them off. However, you can open up your data/multiplayer/scenarios/Random_Scenario*.cfg's and insert this inside [multiplayer][generator][scenario]:

Code: Select all

[event]
                name=prestart

                [store_map_dimensions]
                    variable=map_size
                [/store_map_dimensions]

                {VARIABLE x 1}
                [while]
                    [variable]
                        name=x
                        less_than_equal_to=$map_size.width
                    [/variable]

                    [do]
                        {VARIABLE y 1}
                        [while]
                            [variable]
                                name=y
                                less_than_equal_to=$map_size.height
                            [/variable]

                            [do]
                                [label]
                                    x,y=$x,$y
                                    text=" "
                                [/label]

                                {VARIABLE_OP y add 1}
                            [/do]
                        [/while]

                        {VARIABLE_OP x add 1}
                    [/do]
                [/while]
            [/event]

Might cause a bit of a delay when starting a bigger random map, though.

Another way, simpler but more hackish:
in data/hardwired/english.cfg blank all the naming keys:

Code: Select all

    #naming of terrain features
    bridge_name=""
    road_name=""
    river_name=""
    forest_name=""
    lake_name=""
    mountain_name=""
    swamp_name=""
    village_name=""
    village_name_lake=""
    village_name_river=""
    village_name_river_bridge=""
    village_name_grassland=""
    village_name_forest=""
    village_name_hill=""
    village_name_mountain=""
    village_name_mountain_anonymous=""
    village_name_road=""
    village_name_swamp=""

Labels are still there but blank. All seem to work fine, but I didn't test much. Try " " if there is a problem.

Thanks a lot for your replies I tried the second approach since I don't care about those labels and it seemed faster and it worked Finally no more stupid labels *joy*
Time to play some Wesnoth
