Hello.

Right, this is going to be rather difficult to word out but I'll try my best to ask this question.

I have an issue, or I wouldn't call it an issue, just something I want to find out and do myself.

Recently I've been fiddling around with the GECK's gamesettings and I wanted to do something with it; now here comes the hard part of me explaining what I want to do.

Basically I want to edit the text from when you click on [NEW SAVE 0/100] or when you overwrite a save -- bare in mind this is the PC version (duh.) and when you either overwrite a save or make a new one the little message appears a little from the bottom: "Saving...". However, I want to change this; I want to change this to be similar to the console version -- in which the little highlighted box around [NEW SAVE] expands and shows new text. The text goes something like "Saving content. Blah blah" but it's in a highlighted textbox.

Now that was hard to explain and I do hope this is possible and not hardcoded in since I fiddled around with the gamesettings and found a setting called: 'sMenuXboxShortMessage' (not too sure) which edits the saving message -- this however messes up with the "Saving..." message when you overwrite / make a new save in the main menu / pause menu; as it's not in a highlighted box and its text size is all over the place.

If you don't understand this (trust me, I had a bloody hard time trying to word this) I want the same saving message -- WHEN overwriting a save or making a new one -- from the console's version (specifically Xbox 360); I am doing this because I played a whole bunch of Fallout: NV on Xbox 360 and would like those small little details, strange I know..

Again if you don't know what in the flying hell I'm talking about, look for a video of someone saving on the console version -- it's much different than the PC's version yet I would like that saving message.

What a strange man I am -- but hey this might help me with my coding and actually allow me to edit the menu even further

Help me if you can, and if it isn't possible that's fine

Ta-ta,

Grimbot-

More than likely you are going to have to dive deeeep into the XML of the Menus to add this to the game.

You are correct in that a Message Box is what you need, but those may apply to in game events rather than housekeeping activities. The message boxes on the main screens are probably different.

Try tearing apart an existing UI mod, like Darnified's and see how they set up the XML Menus.
