extended render-engine options

In version 1.5.4. TSNotifier introduces a new render-engine that provides some new options. All of these Options have to be made in the gamesettings.ini (right-click the tray-icon and select Edit gamesettings.ini…). To make these settings for all games at the same time you can use the [default] section.
[default]
font.size=24
ext.avatar.show=1
ext.font.outlinewidth=0
ext.font.outlinecolor=0xFF000000

ext.font.outlinewidth
This option allows you to add an font-outline to the overlay. As value you have to give the width of outline.
Example:
[game.exe]
game.enabled=1
font.size=24
ext.font.outlinewidth=3

outline1

ext.font.outlinecolor
This option sets the color of the outline. The color has to be provided as hexadecimal value in the format 0xAARRGGBB (AA=alpha/opacity;RR=red;GG=green;BB=blue).
Example:
[game.exe]
game.enabled=1
font.size=24
ext.font.outlinewidth=5
ext.font.outlinecolor=0xFFFF0000

outline2

ext.font.outlinecolorOuter
This option sets the outer color of the outline. This will give the font kind of a glow-effect. The color has to be provided as hexadecimal value in the format 0xAARRGGBB (AA=alpha/opacity;RR=red;GG=green;BB=blue).
Example:
[game.exe]
game.enabled=1
font.size=24
ext.font.outlinewidth=8
ext.font.outlinecolor=0xFF000000
ext.font.outlinecolorOuter=0xFFFFFFFF

outline3

ext.avatar.show
This option allows you to display the avatars of the speakers in the overlay.
Example:
[game.exe]
game.enabled=1
font.size=24
ext.avatar.show=1

outline4

  1. this is a report for v1.5.4F –> still not displaying any osd for me on Lord of the rings Online in DX11 mode with sweetFX v1.4.
    The last working version of TSnotifer for me is v1.5.4a.

    1. generally speaking, sweetFX and tsnotifier are not compatible with each other.
      if it worked before that was just a coincidence.

      you could however try to edit your gamesettings.ini file and add the line “hook.legacymode=1” to the [lotroclient.exe] section.
      [lotroclient.exe]
      game.enabled=1
      hook.legacymode=1

      But there is no guaranty that this will work.

  2. Every time i open a game like :
    [gta_sa.exe]
    game.enabled=1
    or
    [CoDWaW.exe]
    game.enabled=1
    it crashs ((in SAMP)) or it says that the app has stopped working .
    I have Windows 7 and i use V1.5.4h
    I hope some one can help me with that problem

  3. Hi,

    can i choose indivdual position of speaker line by editing gamesettings.ini ? I don’t want to use the hardware overlay !

    1. Yes, you can do that by adding these options to your gamesettings.ini:
      speaker.position=-1
      logscroller.position=-1

      possible values:

      -1: Ignore(use setting from TSNotifier)
      0 : Top-Left
      1 : Middle-Left
      2 : Top-Center
      3 : Center
      4 : Top-Right
      5 : Middle-Right

      If you want to finetune the position use these settings:
      speaker.offsetX=0
      speaker.offsetY=0
      logscroller.offsetX=0
      logscroller.offsetY=0
