The Chronicles Of Myrtana - Archolos

The subtitles are too fast for me. I can't reading so fast.

IAnybody knows for any trick, how to slow down changing text clouds (subtitles) in this game? I can't find in the game settings.

Thankyou in advance

There is no option to explicitly select subtitles duration.

ZenGin engine shows subtitles while a corresponding audio file is being played. If there is no voice-over, subtitles time is calculated based on the text length.

Usually, subtitles duration is longer without a voice-over. You can try to delete "KM_Speech*.mod" files from "/Data/modvdf/" subdirectory, if you don't need voices.

In my case, there is no speech in the game. Only on the beginning (intro), but in chech language.

But still, subritles changes is too fast in case of three lines or more text in the balooon. I can''t reed so fast.

Then try to play with a voice-over instead. Maybe, you will have better experience this way.

I doubt, mod developers would split each long dialogue line into more pieces to solve the issue.

Here is how I fixed the problem with too fast subtitles...

-Find the file Systempack.ini (inside TheChroniclesOfMyrtana\system\ folder)
-It is recommended to make a copy of it before editing....
-Open file with notepad.
-Find the following section inside...


[SUBTITLES]

Control=0
; ... Turns on the subtitle display time management - on (1) or off (0), default is 0.
; must be enabled to manage the subtitles.

TimeMultiplier=2.0
; ... The time factor for phrases with voice dialogue files.
; This means that there is one phrase uttered for a duration of 10 seconds with the multiplier 2.0 so that the subtitles for it are displayed for 20 seconds.

MaxTimePerPhrase=30.0
; ... Maximum time in seconds to display the subtitles without the voice file.

TimePerChar=100.0
; ... The time in milliseconds to display a subtitle character without voice dialogue file.
; for example, when TimePerChar=200.0, the phrase, "Can you teach me how to fight?" contains 30 characters, so it will appear 30 * 200/1000 = 6 seconds.



...and change values of:
MaxTimePerPhrase=30.0 ==> 100
TimePerChar=100.0 ==> 400

Of course you can set these two values according to your wishes...

Save changes!

Now you will have enough time to read subititles :)
