Hi all. I have a pretty simple question, if anybody knows: is there a mod to truncate some of the useless information from the in-game battle reports, so that they're not so verbose?

For instance, this: You lash the human spearman vampire in the left upper arm with your copper whip, bruising the muscle through the rope reed fibre robe

Becomes this: You lash the vampire in the left upper arm with your whip, bruising the muscle through the robe

I think removing the excessive detail about clothes/armour and weapons would make them much easier to read. If I want to see exactly what material my whip is, or exactly what his robe is made out of, I can just examine them.

Thanks!

Sadly, no.

Ok.

I suppose it would be rather difficult to mod something like that. I assume it's all buried deep inside the exe code and not something easily accessible, but still, figured I'd ask just in case it existed in some dark corner of the forum.

The battle reports are patched together from the names of the things involved. So if you remove names from creatures and objects and materials, then you get the short report you want. It makes everything else as bland as well.

The weapon files have the actual attacks in them and can be shortened, and with insolors string dump replacer you can alter the messages.

but you cant quite get exactly what you are asking for.
