Write notices

Is it possible to add the simple function to write on letters?
Because in morrowind you can find empty paper and a feather to write. There is just no way to use it...
Also it would be good if you could write notes in your journal.
I know that there is a way to place notes on the local map, but I don`t think that this is really practial.

I don't think this is possible. Otherwise there would already be a plugin that does this :p since it would be the coolest thing ever (well, for me it would

)

Thinking about it yes, but it would be a nightmare to make and use since you would have to input each letter from a message box. You would need 3 message boxes for each letter and 255 of these. I'm pretty sure it would go over the script limit.
Not to mention you would have to find someone who can be bothered to do a few 1000 lines of script.
So for all practical purposes no.

What about some sort of box similiar to the name box you get in the start of the game?

As far as I know thats hardcoded.

Hmm... This is very interesting. I can come up with a way to get the input from the player easy enough

, but how do you add text to paper??

there already is a mod for writable journals.... I hear its a FPS drainer though.

Dunno 'bout FPS draining but I have both of 'em (one which allows u to write in your journal and another to write books). And my game lags extremply when in menu mode. Dunno if those mods are the problem though.

Nope. I'm not writing neither journal entries nor books. But I have those plugins activated. Strange me
