SSE Displaying wall of text

[dizietemblesssma]

For my mod idea I wish to display quite a bit of text, my previous question about string arrays and adding elements is part of this. I have now discovered (because I never tried it before) that messageboxes and showmessage in MCM do not scroll, but the text will flow. Using UIExtensions I can get a list that will scroll but not flow.

While I work on an idea of how to spread the text - composed of multiple strings - over several boxes, with an exit/next option; is there a solution that I am missing, maybe with some UI mod using SKSE?

I released a mod recently called extended vanilla menus. It includes a message box where you can scroll text horizontally and vertically. Also can have unlimited amount of buttons (they scroll horizontally if exceeding maximum width)

[dizietemblesssma]

Looking at the filenames of the swf files in your mod it seems that there shouldn't be any conflicts with mods like 'Better messagebox controls' etc?

This seems to be what I need, I'm adding it to Vortex as I write:)

Just tried it, perfect! :)

Thanks :) I saw your comment. Esc should snap to either the first or last button, depending on the CancelIsFirstButton. You should be able to press enter to close the menu with current button selected. I just tested though and it's not working for me either, so I'll try to fix the bug and update it soon.

I don't know if it is relevant, and you may have seen this yourself but I get this in my papyrus log:

I am calling ExtendedVanillaMenus.MessageBox() from my MCM script 'dz_misc_mcm_menu_script' with an AddTextOptionST state.

[dylbill]

Hmmm not sure why that would be. Make sure you have all the requirements installed. Extended Vanilla Menus requires my other script function mod DbMiscFunctions

[dizietemblesssma]

Everything else installed, works fine apart from not recognising esc/activate etc.
