📋 About This Mod
2. 0 modifies the script to feed in from .ini files. New messages can easily be added by a user or add-on mods, or re-enabled if you don't want them disabled, all without needing to modify the script. 2. 0 requires Johnny Guitar NVSE with the bLoadEditorIDs option enabled in JohnnyGuitar.ini.
Details:
This removes message boxes that pop up during the tutorial, as well as those that occur once during a new game, and repeating corner-messages.
The Tutorial quests for Sunny Smiles still work, this just removes the messages for those who have played the game before.
An optional add-on (Tutorial Killer - Factions) also removes the one-time tutorial pop-up for Faction armor, changes the every-time pop-up to a corner message, and removes the repeating reminders about wearing faction armor.
The example images are, obviously, vanilla examples of what's removed; you'll never see them with this mod. These removed messages include:
Repeating corner-messages
- []"You are crippled"
[
]"Your health is low"[]"To enter VATS, push V", etc
Beginning corner-messages for basic controls
- []sneak
[]run/walk
[]look around
[]shoot
[]aim, etc.
Automatic "Help" messages (the big VDSG message boxes)
- []Weapon
[]Armor
[]Ammo
[]Healing Limbs
[]Reputation, etc.
One-time Message boxes
- []"Item is in poor condition"
[]"Fast Travel"
[]"You have radiation Poisoning"
[]"You have become addicted", etc.
