Make Your Chat Box Bigger

[Sonick]

So I hate that you can't take screen shots by pressing f12 if you have chat open to scroll up to see what someone said so I was looking for a way to make the chat box show more lines and I figured it out and thought I'd share it. Start by going to C:ProgramFiles/Steam/SteamApps/Common/TeamFortress2/tf/Resource and look for the BaseChat file. The two lines you will want to edit is "ypos" and "tall". Make the "ypos" number a lower number to move the chat box further up the screen and the "tall" number larger to show more lines. I have put pictures below. Note you may not want to make your "tall" number as high as mine as I have a 32" screen.

 

EDIT by 3V0Lu710N:

 

The file is now located in common\Team Fortress 2\hl2\resource\ui\

Open basechat.res with wordpad/notepad++
