mmmpld or Richard Molloy; on a quest to find what creates a line break in a MessageBox, can you help?

-I'm asking the same question... Help us ^^'

I got the following technique from Thanatos00 in my topic here.

Hello,

I have founded a solution :

-Place /\ everywhere you want a line break in your messagebox (or an other unusual double sign, i choose /\ because in my esp file the string /\ doesnt exist anywhere). -> If you want 2 line breaks at the same place type /\/\, etc... -Make a copy of your esp file. -download Hex WorkShop (free) -Open your copy with Hex WS -Use the "find" tool (ctrl+F), and type /\ in the "value box" ( Exactly -> "type : text string, value /\" ). ->Now replace all of your "2F 5C" (which means /\ in hexadecimal) by "0D 0A" (which means "break line" in hexadecimal; 0 is the number, not the letter). ->Warning : be sure to only replace /\ that are in your messageboxes ! The first time I try this, Ive used the || signs, and I've replaced all of these signs, and some of these signs wasnt into my messageboxes, so when I saved my esp with hex WS my esp was corrupted !! So verify in the right column, each time you replaced /\, that it is really the /\ of your messagebox. ->try your esp copy in game, and if you did your work properly, *poof* it's working ^^ !

Tips --> Before to do that : ensure you that your script which contains messaboxes, is completly finish/clean ! In that way, you will also be able to load your esp (that you've modified with Hex WS) in the TESCS, and rework on it. As long as you dont modify your script which contains your messageboxes, the line breaks modification will stay. You will be able to reload your script, do modifications, and save it. But line breaks modifications will be lost.

Sorry for my english, hope you will understand ^^' Bye

I have tried this and can confirm it works.—mmmpld 11:31, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

GhanBuriGhan Sounds useful. Add it as an article to solutions category and/or as a tip to the messagebox function? And BTW: wow, great work on that texture catalog!
