» Sat May 17, 2014 6:23 am I want to develop a mod that displays text using (I think) SkyUI api. I would like to be able to:
- Display arbitrary long text.
- Set font, font size, and foreground color.
- Control when text gets shown, how long, etc.
- Be able to scroll text, fade in, out.
I've been reading over https://github.com/schlangster/skyui and https://github.com/Mardoxx/skyrimui but need some help.
Bascially I want my own papyrus "Debug.Notification" area, under my mod's control, that will not be clobbered by text from other Papyrus scripts that might be running...
I would like to host the text in the top right, or bottom right corner of the interface, and move all the regular SkyUI widgets (spell effects, etc), by a fixed amount/pixels, or otherwise have the other hud elements adjust to make some additional real estate for the widget.
Is this possible? How do I do it? What widget name, api?
Been looking here: https://github.com/schlangster/skyui/blob/master/src/HUDWidgets/skyui/widgets
And here:
https://github.com/schlangster/skyui-lib/blob/master/src-flash/UILIB_1/uilib/NotificationArea.as
But I feel like I'm just poking in the dark here. schlangster was kind enough to send me an old post with some high-level ideas about how widgets work, how to call from Papyrus, etc, but I still need help on finding the best widget, how big it is, limits, specs, etc.
Please help. Thanks!
p.s. I'm not an AS developer nor am I familiar with Flash programming. That is why I'm trying to find something I can reuse.
