Hi all,
I have a Monkey Island dialog GUI (you know, the black box with a list of options down the bottom of the screen). I need to list like 10 or 12 options, but I don't want to make the box any bigger so it doesn't interfere with the characters in screen. Two silly questions:
1. Can you have scrolling dialog options? (like in MI's insult swordfights)
2. If so, which is the easiest way?
I've run a couple of forum searches, but the search function seems a bit sluggish today. It's not giving me any results.
Thanks in advance.
BTW, I'm running version 3.2.1
It's possible; you can create your own dialog GUI by using "Custom dialog options rendering"- enter that in the help search and you'll get a detailled description.
There is also a module. I can't find it right now but it was BetterDialogs/CustomDialogs, and I think it was made by abstauber.
There is a mod by abstauber called CustomDialogGui. It was made for 3.1.2 sp1 and seems to work fine with 3.2.1 after a few tweaks. -It's using one or two obsolete expressions.
Tiny issue: Dialog option scrolling will stop working if a dialog is run from a region (walks on, walks off, while standing on...).
Thanks a lot to both of you. I have come up with a workaround, but I will definitely look into those solutions. They look better than mine.
