Anyway to turn OFF tooltips in the STRAT map?

Tooltips are in a string.bin file I assume, so you'd need to replace that with either an empty file (which will return errors but not really impact your game) or use a program such as M2SBE and remove all text entries (but not modify things that are in all caps)

m2sbe? where/what is that?

Its a program that can edit string.bin files without needing to convert them to plain text first.

Ok I found it on TWCENTER. But it reads an error with the tooltips file... sigh. ANyway I fixed it by hand. The screen is SO much more uncluttered now! YAY!

What exactly did you do?

Probably edit tooltips.txt.strings.bin

Not quite. I edited the .txt version counterpart. I replaced all the annoying tooltip popups with a space. Left many of the tool tips I don't mind. Now the pop-up is just a tiny square I don't even get bothered by.
