NWN2 UI

Name  Simple Chat Improvement
Author  Vanes
Submitted / Updated  01-27-2011 / 01-30-2011
Category  Minor UI change
Patch  1.23

Description
This UI change basically changes the "telling" to work similar to how it always worked in NWN1. You click on the player's portrait (here simply the line they spoke) in the chat, and then enter what you would like to tell them.

I always thought that right-clicking through the context menu of the Player List or even the chat box was WAY too cumbersome...so here's the solution. :)

This package will also provide a small "tweak" to the chat box to make it take up less space. This is accomplished by putting the Talk/Party/Whisper/Shout buttons on top diagonally and fading them out for even less clutter on the screen. The scrollbars are on the right since it just feels better that way.

Helpful Tip: Use the right-mouse button to "Save As" when downloading, otherwise your browser may try to open the files instead.

Installation Instructions:
--------------------------

For SP/MP Players:
------------------

1. Place the XML files into your Override folder.
2. Play!

For MP Server Hosts:
--------------------

Here you have two choices. You can:

A) Package all the files in a HAK-pack associated with the module.

B) Add the .NSS/.NCS files to your module from the toolset, and place the .XML files into the Override folder.

Going with B) your players just need to have the .XML files in their Override.

SCREENS

Explore the endless possibilities of sending tells without using your right mouse button.


The clutter of the different talk modes is no longer in your face. Instead they are covering in fear beside the draggable area of the chat screen.

While I like the idea of this...

A major issue I have that if you have the chat window shrunk small, anything that you type that runs past the edge jumps to the beginning of the chat line instead of expanding into a new line below. This is very troublesome for tells, etc. or any kind of longer message.

Other than that, the mod is nifty. Only way I could see it improved is if there were a way to make tabs for different chat windows, each customizable so you could have a window just for tells, one just for DM chat, etc.

Gosh! I could have sworn I typed the install instructions to the description but seems I forgot after all! Adding them now. :)

Really nice, you only forgot to add install instructions. Some files seems to be the same, I'm quite lost? What goes on UI folder and what goes on override?

Thanks
