Can I increase the width of nodes?

[AoF]

It's rare to have dialogue text that fits within a node: This means I often have to click on a bunch of things to see where I want to add a line when I'm editing the dialogue. Is there a way to increase the width of the nodes so it shows more text? Thanks.

No, it was a design decision to make it work like the Animator window to allow nodes to line up nicely and to be able to present a reasonable number of nodes onscreen at the same time.

If you hover the mouse over a node, it will show the node's full text content. If it doesn't, select Menu > Show > Full Text On Hover.

OK, thanks. I don't know if you'd want to implement this feature anyway, but if they could all be increased to the same size, would all those features still work? If so, maybe there could be a setting to increase the size of all nodes.

[Tony Li]

Okay, I'll add that as an option. Maybe 2x, 3x, and 4x the default width as the available options?

[AoF]

That works for me, but you might want to take a poll or something. If I'm the only person that wants this, you shouldn't do it.

I've got that checked, but I noticed a situation where it didn't say the whole text:

That's odd. Is there anything special about that line? Maybe the blank space before "news" is a non-standard blank space character?

[Tony Li]

It won't hurt to add 2x/3x/4x. If no one else uses it, it won't be any different than it is now for them. The code is already capable of different widths. It's a 5-minute task. Testing will take longer than coding, which is why I'll wait to implement it for when I'm in a regular coding cycle.

Not from what I can tell. It happens on other nodes too. It doesn't bother me that much, but I can send over the project if you want to investigate.

Would you please email me a copy of your dialogue database? I don't think I'll need any other files. Thanks!
