About this mod

Consolidates all pop-up and mid-screen text messages into a single log, keeping your game view unobstructed. Requires Harmony.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
If you're tired of pop-up and mid-screen text messages cluttering your game view, this one's for you.

REQUIRES HARMONY. FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE.

INSTALLING HARMONY
  • Download the Harmony-Fat.2.3.6.0.zip from Harmony/Releases
  • Extract the net48/0Harmony.dll file and place it in your Mods folder
Why Harmony is necessary - Harmony allows us to run code when a message is added to the PlayerNotebook and display it to the box. Without Harmony, it would require constantly checking for differences between large bodies of text.

USAGE

Can be used in two ways. Switch between them by pressing F10 or toggling the Fullscreen option in the in-game Pause Menu:
  • LARGE HUD - Can choose either a SIDE or CENTER style of message box. Recommended for use with Retro-Frame, otherwise, it blocks the vitals and compass on the vanilla Large HUD.
  • FULLSCREEN - The message box is placed on the bottom-center of the screen, leaving the vitals and compass visible.
Other features:
  • Automatically culls some repetitive vanilla messages (Press button to fire spell, Save against spell made, etc)
  • When pointing at an entity with Large HUD enabled, the entity's name, challenge rating based on level difference, and condition (health) are displayed on the free space. The appearance of the condition can be toggled between Description (Uninjured, Wounded, etc), exact Number of hitpoints, Percentage of max hitpoints and a health Bar.
  • If World Tooltips is installed and Large HUD is enabled, the tooltips will be displayed in the free space.
RECOMMENDED MODS

TO-DO
  • Add the option to move the message box around when in FULLSCREEN mode
