Question, where can I find this string (or the like this)?

You can only see them while running the game. The game files only store the raw texts and the engine dynamically adds the color code.

If you add a print_r(text); in the function getDialogEntryText and launch the game from a console, you can see this kind of text.

The color is embedded in the string that the engine build before sending it to the UI.

For example:

^0xff75a1b8Morte^-

You can't change the way this string is built. But you could post-process it.

In the UI.menu file, there is this function:

    function getDialogEntryText(row)
        local text = dialogTable[row].text
        if (row == worldPlayerDialogSelection) then
            --Color the text white when selected
            text = string.gsub(text, "%^0xff212eff", "^0xFFFFFFFF")
        end
        return text
    end

There is already a post-process that change the red color to white for the selected answer.

I re-released to fix the version number.

v4.0.2 released with the fix for the Kilivitz's Classic Spellbooks crash.

https://github.com/r-e-d/EEUITweaks/releases/tag/v4.0.2

Thanks for the bug report.

If you remove this block of code from the UI.menu it should fix the crash.

mageBookStrings = {
    SPWI908 = {tip = engine_mode == 0 and 24615 or 55373, title = 'CHAIN_CONTINGENCY_TITLE', action = "ADD_SPELLS_CONTINGENCY_LABEL"},
    SPWI617 = {tip = engine_mode == 0 and 24615 or 55373, title = 'CONTINGENCY_TITLE', action = "ADD_SPELLS_CONTINGENCY_LABEL"},
    SPWI809 = {tip = engine_mode == 0 and 24617 or 55372, title = 'SPELL_TRIGGER_TITLE', action = "ADD_SPELLS_TRIGGER_LABEL"},
    SPWI710 = {tip = engine_mode == 0 and 24616 or 60420, title = 'SPELL_SEQUENCER_TITLE', action = "ADD_SPELLS_SEQUENCER_LABEL"},
    SPWI420 = {tip = engine_mode == 0 and 24616 or 60420, title = 'MINOR_SEQUENCER_TITLE', action = "ADD_SPELLS_SEQUENCER_LABEL"},
}

It may be an interaction between the two. LeUI alone works fine.

It seems to be an issue with EEex, without it, it's working fine on my side. I don't know what happens. @Bubb any idea?

Mod: EEUITweaks

Component: lefreut's Simple Journal Fixes

This component is skipped if any LeUI is installed as it's already included in them.

@Nathan82 v4.0.1 released with the fix for the Simple Centered Dialog crash.

https://github.com/r-e-d/EEUITweaks/releases/tag/v4.0.1

OK I reproduce a crash with only the 'Simple Centered Dialog' component installed on the very first dialog with Imoen

I guess a change in 2.6 broke it.

@lefreut hello, is there some kind of limit with ~EEUITWEAKS/EEUITWEAKS.TP2~ #0 #2050 // Simple Centered Dialog: 4.0   in regard to how much text or the number of dialogue options that can be displayed, because i'm pretty sure thats the component thats causing the game to crash in certain circumstances?

In theory, this component should only change the position of the dialog box nothing else. What's the easiest way to reproduce the crash so I can look at it on my side?

Yes UI mods often uses lua files for text but it is still translatable. These components should be set up to load the correct lua file depending on the language (by providing a ru_ModOp.lua file for example) and fallback to english if there is no translation. It's the way the different authors choose to write these components, I won't change that (I don't have the time anyway).

It also has an advantage compare to the tlk. All the translation files are available after the installation so you can switch between languages without having to reinstall the mod.

And to be fair, Beamdog also uses lua files for text for the UI. The modders did not invent this technique.

Not all of these could be translated right now, but some of them can. There are these files:
 

EEUITweaks\copy\ModsOptions\en_ModOp.lua
EEUITweaks\copy\ModsOptions\en_HideO.lua
EEUITweaks\copy\FeedbackHack\en_FeedH.lua
EEUITweaks\copy\ProgressBar\en_USPgB.lua

And a new texture for the dialog box by @Parys:

So I consider this mod an absolute must have. Haven't played the game without it ever since the whole Beamdog UI redesign. I do have one minor complaint that I hope you can take a look at (as always, nothing in this world is perfect). When pressing ESC and chosing to quit the game, you are given 3 options. To save, go to the main menu or cancel. This is different from the unmodded UI where you instead have 4 options. The fourth being quit which just cleanly exits the game.

What this means in practice is that you need a 3 additional clicks to quit the game since you have to go through the main menu. It's not a big deal by any means, but it is a minor recurring annoyance.

This will be in the next release:

Hi, lefreut. Playing Baldur's Gate again (right now on my Steam Deck). 2 years ago or something, there was a bug with dialogue text changing size sometimes in the UI. Is that bug still present? Because I think I've caught it again.

It's still present as it's something that I can't fix on my side.

On 8/20/2022 at 8:49 PM, Guest Vnavekul said:

Also, could it be possible to just make the text in the message log bigger, and nowhere else. So only dialogue and message log. That's the only text that looks a bit too small on the Steam Deck, and I don't like the rest of the UI's text oversized.

Thanks in advance for any tips or updates. Deck is 1280x800.

With the current version, not easily as it uses the same style as a lot of other text.

I can't promise anything, but I'll try to look at this.

v4.5 is out.

Version 4.0 is finally out \o/

Is there any easy solution to have larger portraits on LeUI ?

There is no component to automatically change this.

You can use the UI Edit mode to change things in game or you can tweak the UI.menu file.

I used that function to tweak this UI mod when I played IWD1EE last year, making the portrait in the dialogue box larger:

The dialog box have bigger portraits now but only the BG skins, I forgot to make the change for LeUI-IWDEE.

Some inconsistencies in spell descriptions.

Cone of Cold Area of Effect: BGEE/SoD 17-ft. cone with 90-deg. arc, BG2EE 18-ft. cone with 90-deg. arc, IWDEE 20-ft. cone with 60-deg. arc.

Glyph of Warding Area of Effect: BGEE/SoD 25-ft. radius, BG2EE/IWDEE 12-ft. radius.

The wiki page for Sun Soulbeam (https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Sun_Soulbeam) has this note:

Quote

Description mistake: No attack roll is actually needed, Sun Soulbeam always hits, like a normal spell.

I didn't check if it's still the case, but if it's true, which one should be fixed, the description or the spell?

Indeed the space at the end of 'Attack Roll ' is necessary.

For 'Party AI Off' (and 'Party AI On'), it's used in a tooltip alone so it's ok to strip the extra spaces.

For 'Find Trap Mode' and 'Turn Unded Mode', I don't know if these strings are seen in an EE game.
