Line Breaks in Conversations
« on: September 23, 2011, 02:24:14 am »


               Is there any newline code that can be used in conversations for formatting purposes?  I've tried some of the versions useable in other scripting/programming languages but to no avail.  It feels really odd to use a bunch of spaces to accomplish this...  Thanks!

               \\n  works in most text situations as a line break in nwn.

               You can just type them directly into the conversation editor using the return key.

               There's also a few places where if just hitting enter won't work, holding shift and hitting enter will.

               What about giving a custom token string to be used in conversation a line break?

What characters can you use to include a line break in the string?

               nwn uses the linux/unix standard of 0x0A or 10 in decimal or Control-J.   However you want to look at it.

               You can just find one in the talk table if you wanted to.  Let me look real quick.

               Something like.   SetCustomToken(XXX,GetSubString(GetStringByStrRef(54),37,1 ));
