Disable Hints and Tips in Message Window?

[Apollonia]

Hello!

 

Is there a way to disable the yellow hint and tips messages that appear in the message window after every time the load screen appears?

They kindof clutter up the message area with things like

"You can use two weapons at once by placing one into the shield slot."

"You can play the game in 800x600"#

"Dont use missile weapons in close combat"

and so forth...

 

Thanks!

Is there a way to disable

You can change them. I don't think you can completely disable them (apart changing them to nothing).

you can try just putting empty tables into override, maybe it won't crash. If that doesn't work, try invalid strrefs. If that doesn't, then perhaps you really do have to change each one individually.

set stringref to -1 for all. Note that it looks rather awful.

I would set the numbers on the tables to be 4099 on all the lines.
