HUD Text Wrap

HUD Text Wrap

I made this mod due to an issue with my mod Hunters Instincts where if you were not using SDF font rendering, the long strings that my mod uses with flavour texts would go off the edge of the screen.

Installation:

1. Open zip

2. Extract .dfmod into DFU\DaggerfallUnity_Data\StreamingAssets\Mods

Compatibility:

This mod should be compatible with any other mod that uses DaggerfallUI. AddHUDText to display messages, as it works by monitoring the HUD text queue rather than patching any game methods. It does not modify any game files or replace any existing functionality.

If you are using a mod that heavily spams HUD text messages in quick succession, you may notice a slight stutter when a long message is wrapped, this is a known limitation that I could not be bothered to fix, sorry.

• []Automatically word-wraps any HUD text message that exceeds a configurable character limit, preventing text from overflowing off the edge of the screen[/]

  []Works universally — intercepts messages from any mod or the base game, no changes needed to other mods[/]

  []Retro Font Only mode — wrapping can be set to only activate when using the classic retro font renderer, automatically disabling itself when SDF font rendering is on since SDF characters are smaller.[/]

  []Configurable maximum line length via the in-game Mod Settings menu, so you can tune it to your screen size and font preference[/]

  []Recommended character limit is ~65 for the retro font[/]
