Anyway to turn OFF tooltips in the STRAT map?

[Dearmad]

Probably edit tooltips.txt.strings.bin

Be it on the map or in the battle map just go to the meniu and look for "advice level" or something like that...and turn it to none..that will fix the problem

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)

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.
