Longer chat messages?

When somone types something into the chat, the message disappears really fast so I ususally have to use the console, which has very small letters. Can I make the chat messages appear on screen longer?

also, is there a way to display damage done as text over target? I heard that that was possible in single player.

Code: Select all

con_midtime 5                               // Time in seconds for messages to stay before fading.
con_notifytime 5                            // Time in seconds for messages to scroll away.

Not natively.

Theoretically possible with mods, but all I have seen is a mod that displays damage numbers in deathmatch for players only.

Thanks, it was on 3, which was too low :3

Also

Code: Select all

con_notifylines                  // How many messages can be on the screen at once.
