then it doesn't work. I can set any number - it doesn't work. Only through the console can I achieve the result. This is very strange. Maybe I need to use another file? Fallout4.ini? In any case, I don't see much point in this because I can just put in an startup.txt file and everything works. It's very convenient - we can make it so that subtitles appear when we get closer and disappear when we move away from any NPC.
The way suggested to automate the startup doesn't work for me. But it works in another way. After placing the AutoExec.txt file in the root folder of the game, you need to add to the [Fallout4.ini] file in the [General] category the text:
sStartingConsoleCommand bat AutoExec (just insert an equals sign like in the screenshot, because the Nexus deletes it.)
and only then the settings are picked up automatically. Just in case, the ini file is located at C:\Users\*Username\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini.
You are correct. It is also what I wrote in the description. But Nexus garbled up the equals sign to something else entirely. Anyhoo, description updated.
Your directions are not clear: I need way less ambiguity here.
1. Where in the game directory? Like I need the Directory name, whether C:/Steamapps/Common/Fallout 4 or C:/Steamapps/Common/Fallout 4/data? Or is with the ini files in the Documents section. I need file names
2. What is this Bat command? Is it in the command console? Or is it another program I have to install? I need this to be clear.
I have very little technical knowledge, and without unambiguous instructions, there's a number of ways I can mess this installation up.
Also does this work on distance dialogue, like with the raiders and talking to Sinjin at a distance at the end of the Silver Shroud quest?
1. Root means where the Fallout4.exe is. That's most likely "\steamapps\common\Fallout 4" for you.
2. Bat is a built in console function - no install needed. The part about the Fallout4.ini setting refers to the one in "Documents\My Games\Fallout4". It's mostly to save some typing.
Dialogue involving the player is not affected, so NO to your question.
Hi, it bothered me too. I just don't understand whether to throw the lines in Fallout4Custom.ini or Falloutprefs.ini, chew please, and then I can not hear any of the history of the raiders in any way.And what are the vanilla values? The last line is also in the LOD?
With these settings, the NPCs from the mod Tales of the Commonwealth stopped talking, so they always said something in between. I really have a mod car and a small cart. even when I removed the settings, it also remained, I had to roll back to an early save and everything fell into place.

200 - about 2 meters

I tried to use FO4Edit to add the "fMaxSubtitleDistance:Interface", but it didn't work.
You could always try pasting the lines into Fallout4.ini.

Again thank you, for the response and how quick it was!
Thanks
Otherwise the first two would go in FaIlout4Custom.ini, and the "fSandBoxExtraDialogueRange" would go inside Fallout4.ini.
