DESCRIPTION

This addon includes many dialog features, to enhance the game experience and to customize it your way.
All-in-one, without fancy colors or custom fonts, in order to stick with a sober interface.
/!\ I recommend to not use a custom UI scale to prevent any improper behaviour.

Customize!
⋅ Resize and tweak the dialog window,
⋅ Tweak all the content: Title, text, and options,
⋅ Add nice icons and/or numbers before chat options,
Keep history!
⋅ Keep an eye on the history of the conversation,
(I suggest you to vertically shift the window to display more history)
Use animation!
⋅ Use the text fading animation to make it appear while the NPC is talking,
⋅ Customize the speed for regular and some specific dialogs.
Specify behavior!
⋅ For some specific dialogs, you can mute the NPC, auto-open the store, and speed-up or instantly display the content.

Hey Necropsi,

I did got caught by guard to try and, yes… I can see the issue. But I don't have a solution for now.

There is no difference in the "management" of these specific replies vs regular ones.
That's something that used to work before, so maybe an update of the game has broken it.

I'll need some time to investigate.

Cheers,
N'Tak'

Hey Asstronaut,
Thank you for your feedback.

And for your requests…
I consider it done with 1.11.6 :
- Vertical centering can be acheived with the vertical shift ,
- Background opacity now works as intended with the centered dialog.

Cheers,
N'Tak'

Oh wow that was so fast! You're amazing dude keep up the great work!

But do you think it will be better in my Camera addon, or Dialog addon ?
In fact, it affects both of them !

Yes.

Joking

It's definitely a Dialog thing, because it only applies to dialogs. Honestly, who doesn't just install both of your addons together??

And yeah, I just messed with values to get something that looks good. I assume an actual implementation would require more checks and feedback from players. It's nice to get a simple version out though, because the difference in experience is HUGE

EDIT: Just a thought, might be best to let the user move the dialog around and remember the position, if they choose to enable Centerizing. <shrug> Some things are better left flexible.

Glad to know you like my work !

After some manual messing about, I achieved this result:
https://imgur.com/UsQ2YU6

While there's probably a better way to set this up and make it aesthetic, here are the commands I used to achieve this:

Code:

/script SetFrameInteractionTarget(0.75, 0.65); ZO_InteractWindowTopBG:SetHidden(true); ZO_InteractWindowBottomBG:SetHidden(true); ZO_InteractWindowDivider:ClearAnchors(); ZO_InteractWindowDivider:SetAnchor(CENTER, GuiRoot, CENTER, 0, 300); 

/script ZO_InteractWindowVerticalSeparator:SetTexture('/esoui/art/battlegrounds/battlegrounds_scoreboardbg_left.dds'); ZO_InteractWindowVerticalSeparator:SetDimensions(850, 550); 
ZO_InteractWindowVerticalSeparator:ClearAnchors(); ZO_InteractWindowVerticalSeparator:SetAnchor(TOPLEFT, ZO_InteractWindowTopBG, TOPLEFT, -50, 60);

D'ya think we can get an option to just centerize the whole thing? Maybe start with a simple toggle override - a la Centerized or Not.

(BTW anybody can copy and paste the above script one /script at a time, to apply this visual change. If you get any issues just do a /reloadui

)

I've been setting Text to 0 and Options to -2 to have them both appear smaller. Thank you.

Hey Jhenox,

I've used exactly the same size settings as you and I've got the correct results :

Text 0, Options 0

Text -1, Options -1

Text -2, Options -2

So… I don't know.

Do you have any other addon that could mess with the texts sizes ?
