Description

This gadget is a very simple gadget for displaying subtitles. You cannot control the style of subtitles, its strength is in its ability to use the player’s own system subtitle settings (size, colour, position, etc), making it ideal for the specific purpose of captioning audio for the hard-of-hearing and fans of the mute button. For more versatile display of text within your scene, see the Text Displayer and Dialogue Text Displayer gadgets.

Version Updates

v2.03: For accessibility reasons, subtitles have been much simplified; options to specify colour, brightness, opacity have been removed so that subtitles must adhere to system settings. A new option “Always Show Subtitle” has been added, in order to better integrate user-generated scenes with the game’s subtitle settings.
