I tried the mod and only getting few notifications, currently only items removed messages and (mods notifications), items removed like "220 Gold removed" "message removed" but other notifications that appeared in my test on the screen does not appear in log. Is there specific type of notifications that appear or everything on screen should appear (except subtitles I guess)
Edit: I tried it more and does give a lot more notifications but also not the ones I want, I guess I wanted a mod that shows everything that came on screen including quest messages
If anyone knows a mod that would delay the fade out of messages on screen please let me know or how to manually do it!
Is it possible to have this but have generic notifications deleted?
Instead of getting spammed with things added to this list "Purple Mountain Flower Added", "Garlic Added" click on these to have them auto removed from the papyrus list so we only have the most important updates?
I have many mods installed that love to post notices and it all gets lost after awhile and I tend to ignore the scrolling txt so it would be great if I did not need to see it in here.
Ever thought about another mod that would suppress generic notifications completely so we do not even see them? After all who really needs to be notified of "Purple Mountain Flower Added", "Garlic Added"?
Sorry to say that is not going to happen. How this works is that I hook into the Debug.Notification() papyrus function to catch every message passed to it which is pretty much used by everything. All that function takes is a string without any other kind of information associated with it such as the type of message or where it came from. So in order to do what you are talking about would require doing a series of pattern matching on the string provided in order to perform filtering. This can get really messy as different people may have different preferences about what they want to see or not see, plus it is prone to errors. In your case I could add a filter for anything that ends in "Added", but then that would also filter out messages such as "[REALLY IMPORTANT QUEST ITEM] Added" that should be displayed. The extra complexity of performing filtering on every message can also slow down the game every time a notification message is about to be displayed which could mean you don't see as many messages anymore but your FPS can get really crappy at random times for no apparent reason.
Not saying this is impossible, but frankly this is something I simply don't have the time for as it would take a lot of work to do and probably end up just not working out well for many people who have different preferences on what they don't want displayed.
Believe me when I asked I knew it was a complicated process. My hopes was for maybe something that could be manually accessed (txt file) so that a person who downloads a mod can edit to their hearts content to remove messages from the HUD. Something with a regex string to remove everything except what can be white-listed as important.
Thanks for the fast reply. I knew in asking that it more likely would not happen yet, you never know till you ask.
