scrolls = only one page that you can (lol?) scroll

[gus]

A little update: i've found out how to display text from the .exe . So now, i've to make it look like a book, and do the text formating stuff.

And that's why I've a little question about Morrowind (I don't have the CD with me so i can't check myself): Is there always the same number of line in a page and the same number of character in a line with every screen resolution?

[sirherrbatka]

Good question, since MW uses bitmap fonts. Give ma a moment and I will check.

[sirherrbatka]

Done.

The same regardless resolution.

Cellphone like resolution is not even that bad besides that spells and inventory window holds almost nothing. OTOH this small spell effects icons (tray?) are big enough to be readed. We will have to do something with spell effect icons, so they will be easier to read.

Thanks

Well, this makes sense. If resolution would change the number of lines on page, on small resolution books would need to have more pages (that would be a little WTF? even for morrowind standards).

How are the links(you know, some words are in blue, and you can click on them) handled in the journal?

Edit: btw, how is it possible to have the std::string of a book? (to see if they use \n and such).

Open the journal at the appropriate place. I am not sure what exactly is linked. Probably topics and quest titles. I would like to see a confirmation from someone who currently has MW at hand; especially for the later.

Yup, it's quest and topics, but my question was more that the journal entries are string, so how do I know what is linked with what?

That also bring a question: topics are not in the journal. Are they already stored somewhere in OpenMW?

Yup, it's quest and topics, but my question was more that the journal entries are string, so how do I know what is linked with what?

There is no special marking AFAIK, so the only option left would be to compare the text with all the topics and quest titles. Have a look at the NPC dialogue. I think this feature is partially implemented there. Haven't looked at the code, but at least on the screen it shows up.

That also bring a question: topics are not in the journal.

Topics are in the journal.
