Summary | 0010473: Smaller text windows | ||||
Description | While we have plenty of signs posted that take advantage of the large text window, it's far too big for conversational text. Be it scripted story or chatting with NPCs, the huge window comes across as overkill. Further, it does hide a lot of the terrain while it's displayed. I don't know if there's any logic you can use to display a large window versus a small one, but I thought it was worth noting. | ||||

I've thought about this a fair bit since you logged the issue, and I just don't think there's a clean way we can do this without having to go back and check ALL the dialogue to make sure it now fits on the screen. I agree these windows are a tad on the large side, but I think the juice is not worth the squeeze on this one. |
|
Maybe in a later version, we can introduce TEXTTOPSMALL and TEXTBOTSMALL, so that the default window will be the size we always used, but half-height windows could be specifically used during scripted story sequences. |
|
Sure, makes sense. |
