Mod request, copy text to clipboard

Post » Wed Sep 18, 2013 1:26 am

Every now and again I pickup Morrowind from the shelf, dust it off and reinstall the game. But one thing I always wanted was a way to copy all the text in the game. Specially when you interact with the NPCs they overwhelm you with walls of text. I am dyslectic so reading all that text was annoyingly difficult and still plagues my gaming experience. If there was a way to copy the text that the game generates into clipboard I could use a voice synthesizer to basically convert the text to voice.

I searched google and in these forums for a mod for it without any success. Anyone got a tip if this have been done before or know how to make it. I have some basic java coding experience but have no idea how to go about modding Morrowind to make this work. Maybe if there is a talented modder out there that could help.

tl dr. Looking for a text to clipboard mod for use with an external program to make morrowind ingame chat text converted into voice synthesized speech.

You can export the dialog in the editor to an Excel File (might have to first export to Tab Delimited Text, then Import that into Excel for sorting and reading.

Warning, it is a huge spreadsheet when it's made. I even have one of these on my HDD.

Do this in the File Menu, Export in the Editor once you have Morrowind (and any DLCs) loaded.
