1. DESCRIPTION

*****************************************************************


VERSION: 1.8

PLUGIN TYPE: Miscellaneous

REQUIRED FILES: Oblivion.esm latest version, OBSE v0016 or higher download it at http://obse.silverlock.org/

RECCOMANDED FILES: OBSE Elys Pluggy v122 or higher Download it here http://karamail.nerim.net/elys/Pluggy/, Pluggy is needed ONLY for the export feature

This mod adds complete working diaries, with working I mean that you can write on and read them.

What's New in v 1.8?
1) Visman added a new outstanding feature: multiple diaries, you can create infinite diaries each with different text
2) Added support for long import text see the import.ini for info
3) Fixed the bug that caused the diary to be named Player's Diary instead of "character's name"'s Diary

What's New in v 1.7?
1) Visman added a very important feature: multiple entries edit; now you can easily change all you wrote without OBSE bugs and without moving through lots of words
2) Added new keys for the multiple entries feature, read Keys Readme for info
3) Added support for easy upgrades

What's New in v 1.6?
1) Added support for Del key
2) Added BB-code also to the words after the cursor
3) Now Ctrl+ C prints the date with this format (Month i.e. Sun's Dusk) (day i.e. 3), 3E (year i.e. 443)
4) Aesthetique changes: now the new line is visible also in the messagebox, now the cursor is represented by [] instead of three spaces

What's New in version 1.5?
1) Finally you don't have to delete entire words to change a previous one anymore, because I added support for left and right arrows, by pressing them, now you can move the cursor and edit/delete previous words and leave inalterated the others
2) Visman added BB-code (analogue) that use symbols like ^K^ instead of the horrible img src="bla.dds" etc.
3) Other minor improvements and changes to the characters, see Keys Readme for info

When you load the game you will get the diary, NOTE: its name is "your character's name"'s diary so if you search for it just look for your name.

When you open the book you will see this options:
JUST READ, let you read your diary and move through the pages.
WRITE, open a box with two bottons and the text: the text let you see what you are writing, the button "Done" write all you typed to the diary, "Cancel" simply delete all you wrote and return to the previous menu.
MODIFY, let you modify all you already wrote.
IMPORT TEXT, let you import text from Oblivion/data/Diary Functions/Import.ini see that file for more info.
EXPORT DIARY (this feature needs Pluggy v. 122 or higher), let you export all you wrote in the diary to a text file: the text file is named Export and it is in Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Pluggy/User Files/Diary Functions if the file doesn't exist it will be automatically created.
RESET DIARY, deletes all you wrote in the diary
CREATE NEW BOOK, let you make a new diary, after you make it, you have just to use reset diary and you'll have a new diary to write on.

Other Features:
A new retextured mesh for the diary, that now is droppable.
The ability to change font and color while writing, to use Fancy Fonts and Emoticons.
Support for four custom colors and ten custom Emoticons or Images

IMPORTANT: Read also Keys readme, for info about typing and characters, and if you want to use custom Emoticons, colors or use Import feature see import.ini in Diary Functions folder
