Talk:Text Replacement

How do I associate a book with a quest? I cannot get the text replacement to show - the book is blank apart from the first few words before the text replacement. I created a quest alias (as a reference alias) for the book - ticked the 'uses stored text' (the page states 'displays text' but I think this might be an error as the only options are 'stores text' or 'uses stored text') tried to use <Alias=Player> and it will not show. I make sure the quest has started before reading the book.

Name replaced with Message

In the article it says "You can use a Message to replace the display name of anything in a quest's alias". Does this mean that it would be possible to change the name of a cell? (Or even make it appear that you have? Even if you haven't).
If so, how would I achieve this? It would make for an excellent touch in a mod that I am currently working on. Antares (talk) 12:46, 21 July 2012 (EDT)

Unfortunately I don't think so, since you can't make an Alias of a cell, only of a Location. But maybe that I'm wrong : could you assign a Location associated with a specific cell (Location data) to an alias with text replacement, and then have it's new Alias name appear when you get to that location? And if it works, would this also work with doors leading to such cell for them to display the new Location's Alias name? --HawkFest (talk) 2013-02-24T11:32:56 (EST)

I think that is the avenue I attempted to go down. I'm still pretty bad with Alias' and such so I haven't given it my best shot yet. If I find something out I'll definitely be letting people know. Thanks for the tip though, it sounds good in theory. Antares (talk) 2013-02-24T17:31:32 (EST)

Week Days

While I have been working with this tag it would seem to be three days behind or four days ahead depending on how you look at it as when it is used with GameDaysPassed all information is correct except the weekday, but it can be easily fixed by simply creating a new GlobalVariable and making sure you offset GameDaysPassed by +3 Bot Owned (talk) 2013-05-03T09:57:39 (EDT)
