Feedback Chat bubbles don't last long enough.

I'm not the fastest reader in the universe, and I'm fairly certain I'm also not the slowest. However, I've noticed that chat bubbles don't last as long as they used to. I want longer chat bubble time!

Granted if this was intended, at least an option for the less avid reader? And also in case you missed what Random NPC has to say but don't want to spam the window with chat, enable it in logs too?

 

I'm trying to find this but no luck so far. I thought I'd found it in chat.config in interface\chat and set the visTime to 90 to test but it turned out to be the chat window in the bottom left corner! There's a chatbubbles folder in interface, you'd think something in there would be what we need, you'd be wrong - there's nothing.

Ah, look at that! I'm a genius.

Here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x0qxolxvxmh11gl/interface.zip?dl=0
Make a folder in \starbound\mods, call it anything you like. Drop the interface folder into it. Start the game and it'll use the chatbubbles.config file.

I set the maxAge value from 3 to 5, the speech bubbles stays on screen for a bit longer, just long enough to read what the penguin says at the Outpost. if you want the dialogue to stay longer then set it to a higher value.

 

I didn't even look in the configs myself. I was looking for an option from the whole pressed escape, clicked options, looked through everything, thing.
It looks like your link isn't working. It's been a while since I last modded, and that was for the last update level. I'll have to look around....
Regardless, this is also feedback/request for the game itself not just a mod request.

Not sure what happened there but this link should be good.

 

Text Time sounds like something that should be added to the Options menu. I've already stumbled across a handful of quest NPCs that seem to say interesting stuff but the bubble disappears way too quickly.

 

Yea, the main thing I noticed is when you're in the startup quest and they have something to say, but you read half or a third of whatever is said, then ask the NPC again but they say something else. Fortunately, they're on a repeat message thing...
The dropbox link is working now so thanks for the link, and may this eventually get worked into the game itself, not just a mod!

 

I'd be very surprised if they didn't patch this to be honest. I mean 3 seconds isn't anywhere near enough for most human beings to read.

 

I thought the same thing, because I had a hard time keeping up with it. The five second change from the mod you supplied works wonderfully, specifically the five seconds.

 

where did the link go says 404 down
