Description

  • []Replaces the vanilla subtitle system with floating subtitles over the player or NPC heads.

    []Can support any number of subtitles on screen - just limited to how many NPCs are talking at the moment.

    • []Subtitles will dim when the NPC is behind walls or blocked from view.

      []Offscreen NPCs will have subtitles displayed at the bottom of the screen, just like in vanilla.

      Localized Subtitles

      • []Display subtitles in all official languages, not limited to the language your game is set to.

        []Also supports dual language subtitles.

        []This feature requires dialogue with localized subtitles (the mod must have a corresponding . ILStrings file).

        • []Sometimes vanilla subtitles may not be localized because it was edited in a mod but the string table wasn't updated along with it.

          []Regular subtitles have limited dual language support because Scaleform cannot render all characters.

        Customization

        • []Requires ImGui Fonts mod 2. 0+ for fonts.

        • []Subtitle color can be edited by changing the following in Fallout4.ini. Speaker name is dynamic and will match gameplay HUD color.

          uSubtitleR = 0

          uSubtitleR = 0

          uSubtitleG = 255

          • []Adjust subtitle size using MCM settings.
            • []You can remove the SecondaryFont section to save some resources if you don't plan on displaying subtitles in Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
              • []GitHub
                • []Ersh, Quantumyilmaz for code references.
