Lucimus Ace Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Hello, I'm Ace! Are you tired of accidentally skipping dialogue? Have you ever thought "wait, what the hell were they talking about again?" on the middle of a scene? Do you wish there was a quick, easy way to read those missed lines? Well, my accursed brain certainly said "yes" to all these questions, but as much as it is the one which creates the ailment, it's also the one which tries to provide the cure. And so hopefully this mod I've created for myself (by irresponsibly forgoing my real job duties) these past couple weeks should improve your experience as well!The Message Log: Spoiler Since messages and dialogues are not really categorized on a code level (afaik), I've had to make a few assumptions when developing this mod as I really wanted to differentiate the messages based on their context or source. So for example, in the first screenshot above, those were only dialogue messages, which colors the star prefix and character name as blue. Below I will list all the message types I've categorized, with a screenshot as an example. There might be a minor spoiler or two for Chapter 6, so beware of that. Spoiler Dialogue (Trainer Battle dialogue such as defeat lines, or Trainer's "ace" pokemon lines are also logged) Spoiler System/Overworld Actions Most of these I just simply do not display, but there are some of them (such as a few HM usages) that I just found it easier to log Spoiler Item Pickup Spoiler Event Interactions (such as the Noctowl Statues in Terajuma) Spoiler Object Interactions (such as boards, books, etc) Spoiler Quotes Spoiler Nurse Joy Spoiler Player Choices (aside from "Yes" and "No") Spoiler Pokemon Spoiler Preserve Pre-Formatted Messages (such as Quest notifications) Spoiler I've also added the following options: Spoiler Font Size Default: 24px Min 24px Max: 48px Spoiler Previous Screenshots were at 24px. Current Screenshot is at 32px. Translate Garufan Default is Off Spoiler Untranslated Garufan Spoiler Translated Garufan Spoiler Installing the Mod: Just copy all files from the zip directly to your game root folder and you should be golden Compatibility: This mod touches quite a few files due to the nature of how messages and events are executed in the game, so it might be incompatible with another mod or two I can definitely say though that _at least_ any other mods touching "Options" will conflict with it All these changes should be located at "/MessageLog/_Overrides.rb" and "/MessageLog/_Options.rb" and they're all commented with "## ACE MOD", so hopefully it won't be difficult to check if any other mod conflicts with it Accessing the Message Log: "Message Log" entry in the game menu Pressing either "Z" or "Ctrl" in the game menu Pressing either "Z" or "Ctrl" during any active message, except when in battle You can also instantly go to the first logged message by pressing "Home" or the "Quick Item" key, and to the last logged message by pressing "End" or the "Confirm" key.And yeah, that's all, I think. Please lemme know if you find any major issues with this mod. I hope this is as useful to you as it has been to me!

Zyrix_ Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Could it be possible to have the message log be saved, so that when you reopen the game the message log is there? In addition the ability to clear the message log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
