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 Owlbehr,

Thanks for your feedback on the subject.
I know I stayed silent, but I had made some testing and couldn't find anything on my side.

I'm glad you find a culprit ( maybe amonst others ?! ).
At some point, I'll try to spend some time on ESO, install this addon, replicate the issue, and see if I can do something about it. No promises.

I wonder if NeuroticPixels had that same addon installed.
The issue they talked about was very similar !

That wasn't planned, but that's a good idea. Duly noted !

I know gamepad isn't fully supported. As I'm not playing the game anymore, and never played with a controller, I admit this is not at all on the top of the list.

Cheers,
Takit

Owlbehr Forum posts: 0 File comments: 4 Uploads: 0	Since the release of Gold Road the dialog has been being cut off randomly. It doesn't happen with everything said, but enough that I'm missing some things if I don't pay absolute attention. I've messed around in the settings, and turned off all addons, but it's still happening. I don't want to go on without this amazing mod! Hopefully it's not a hard fix.

This addon is pretty mandatory for me. lol. I hope it gets fixed soon. <3

Hey

I've tried to replicate the issue but I can't.
Have you tried disabling all other addons ?
If that doesn't help, can you pm me on Discord to show me all your settings and chat about it ?

I have 2 very minor nitpicks/questions though.

1 - On my screen, all the NPCs appear to be very slightly off-center, a few pixels or so too far to the right. Has anyone else noticed this? It's a very, very minor complaint, but it's slowly gnawing away at me every time, lol. Is there somewhere in the config files I can edit this?

2 - Is it possible to change the fonts? I couldn't find anything in your settings. It's no big deal, but I usually try to find something in a more hand-written style. Does anyone else perhaps know how I could change this? (I know pawsickles used to work for this stuff but I think it's been broken for a while.)

Thanks again for this great mod!

Thanks for your feedback ! I'm glad you like it

1-
Can you share a screenshot about this point ?
I will verify the centering and maybe add an option to add an offset.

2-
It's not possible with my mod. I sticked on purpose with the default fonts and colors.
Maybe I'll reconsider at some point.

Cheers,
Takit

About your suggestion, you're right.
I will add separate settings for guild and classical bankers.

For what it's worth, I did a quickie workaround based on the relative menu sizes of bankers who do and don't offer guild services, modifying line 1161 of NTakDialog.lua as follows:

Code:

			if (i < 5 and ((specialOptions == 1) or bankerOptions)) then

I could have added a more elaborate elseif clause checking for CHATTER_START_GUILDBANK and so on, but really there should be a Settings checkbox and all that, so I leave it to you if you're interested. Thanks again for a great addon.

When I'm using a banking Assistant, whether in the field or in a house, there is only one useful option (my personal bank) so I want to skip the dialog and get straight to my bank contents. Specific Dialogs > Bankers > Open Stores Automatically ON does this.

But when I'm in a city using a "full" banker, who also offers Guild Bank and Guild Store options, I don't want to skip straight to my personal bank - I want that menu.

Is there an easy way to tell which kind of banker I'm talking to? If so, I would love a separate option or checkbox to opt out of city bankers.

Thanks again!

Do you have other mods that can mess with the dialog window ?

I hate when they break things when they update. :P
I'll try to ivestigate today !

The only other interface addon I have is DarkUI. I tried turning it off and nothing changed.

This came up on character activated when I switched toons. It appeared only once, and I tried to find a way to stabilize the reproduction but without success.

toons ?

Was it the 1st time you used the mod ?

Cheers,
Takit.

This is my first day using this addon, and it worked fine on my first couple characters, but when I switched to my third character for crafting daily the error above popped up on character activated. I noticed that the first time this character talks to an NPC the NPC doesn't have the serial number (1), 2), 3), etc.) displayed in front of his options, and the options are inconsistently sized and scaled, but after that NTak's Dialog seems to work fine.

I hope this gives you some useful information. Your addon is great.
