Electronic Messages Mode

This editor mode allows the modification of electronic messages.

Selecting a type

Electronic messages come in three general types: mails, logs, and fragments. Mails furthermore contain both text/audio mails, as well as video mails.

Electronic messages are furthermore localized and allow change of language. Available languages are "STD" (English), "FRN" (French), and "GER" (German).

Message texts come in two variants: verbose and terse. It depends on the game's setting which variant is displayed.

Properties

For all numeric properties, if their value is -1, they cause a default behaviour.

Mails can be "chained" by setting the next message and interrupt properties. The message that is interrupted has the next message field set, whereas the interrupting message has the interrupt property set.

The color index specifies which color the left MFD should use for the font.

Left and right display indices are for the left and right MFD images, respectively.

The following text labels allow modification (either through pasting, or file-dropping):

  • Title: in the list of properties
  • Sender: Upper half of the left MFD display
  • Subject: Lower half of the left MFD display
  • Text: Both verbose and terse, depending on the current display setting

Audio

If the electronic messages are accompanied with audio, this can be imported and exported.

To import audio, drag a compatible audio file from the file browser and drop it onto the audio field, which displays the current length in seconds, or the text "no audio". To export the current audio, perform another drag-and-drop action, this time dragging a folder, into which the exported audio shall be saved.
