Installation options

CortUI offers various ways of configuring it to your needs. The most fundamental one is which normal HUD and software HUD you choose, but there's more.

Choosing settings in the installer

While running the automatic installer, you will come across the following screen.

Modifying the settings manually after installation

If you want to modify the settings after you have already installed CortUI, you can simply run the installer again. If you do not want to do this yourself, you can also edit the settings file by hand, using any text editor. However, note that a simple mistake like a missing semicolon can (and most likely will) make the game crash.

The settings file can be found in the artwork directory of your Allegiance directory and is named cortui_settings.mdl. It consists of blocks of a comment and an assignment each.

// Parameter: Number of chat lines. Keep between 1 and 10.
NumChatLinesGlobal = 10;

Just replace the value at the right side of the equal sign with whatever valid value you want.
