Hi all. I don't think I need to introduce myself here

I have made a better text chat mod for ME3. It makes the font larger, last longer on screen (8s instead of 3s), and higher up so controller users can see the chat without something being drawn under it (the D Pad).

Here are some pics comparing it:

Original size at 1080p (super tiny): i.imgur.com/aKQn5qK.jpg

New size at 1080p (much larger):

I know it is kind of large, but I only have preset sizes to work with so this is what we get. Pretty much the only things I can change are the Y position and the prefixed font size (small -> large). I could not figure out how color is set as this is very basic engine level stuff.

This is a client side only mod. Only YOU, the person who installed this, will benefit from it. Other players won't have any difference. This is not compatible with Vignette Remover as it modifies the same file. I will be updating that mod to incorporate this mod as it won't have any effect unless you're actually using this command.

You can generate this mod in Mod Manager using the Mixin Library. Here's a gif showing how:

I will be also releasing a standalone version at some point in the future.

Excellent!

Now I need to create a "mod" where I don't have to fumble between my controller and my keyboard on my couch. Hard to keep up with you desktop folks.
