This thread is the place to discuss the in game help, files used to build it, and any supporting files/editors/blah You get the idea.
Reposting some info from: Old thread. There might be some more info in there, but this is a good starting point. all the help text is in ToEE3.dat\mes\help.tab tab separated values Column1 - The "tag" of the page. Think of this as the URL to a web page. Column2 - The "parent" of that page. This is used to determine where to go when someone presses the up button, and it's used to determine inclusion for dynamic content on CMD_CHILDREN and CMD_CHILDREN_SORTED Column3 - The "previous sibling". Used to sort children Column4 - Used to specify inclusion in multiple lists. Used primarily for including spells in multiple class spell lists and domains. Column5 - The title of the page. This shows up at the top of the window. Column6 - The content of the page. This includes normal text that is aligned using spaces, [CMD_CHILDREN] and [CMD_CHILDREN_SORTED] tags to dynamically generate content, links to other pages using ~Text~[TAG] format (Text is displayed, and it jumps to the page with the tag (column 1) of TAG), and ASCII 0x0B (don't think that's backspace) for a line break (similar to a <BR> ). Hope that makes sense. It's really hard to figure out Column 3 exactly when the file seems to be flawed. I'm pretty sure that's what it's supposed to be doing. I also plan on working on an editor tonight.
I'm fiddling with Area Description pop-ups at the moment which are part of Help.tab, I was wondering if you were noticing any odd changes happening to text when you edit it within the file? if you look over at http://greyhawk.lexx.eu.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146 I mentioned there was some odd non-centering of text happening for me. I think we're working from different angles at the same thing at least for the moment, would love to get some discussion going
