Set Mes Win Mes Id

Signature

void setmeswinmesid(int windowId, int messageId); //id:0x047e

Description

Used before functions like Mes to replace the dialogue of the next opened window with a global message instead.

Generally, the text of a dialogue, system notification, and more are saved in the dialogue section of the location file (ebp - section 2). Now, there are also dialogues which are available in all locations. These are declared in various different files and then configured with additional arguments in section 5 of the fontpack_it.bin file. This function references this section to display a global message (e.g. ... joins the party).

Arguments

Window Identifier

The window the dialogue will be displayed in.

There are a total of 8 windows (0 -> 7) that can be used to simultaneously display several dialogues, shapes (textures), etc. at the same time.

If a value of -1 is passed, it will be changed to 0.

If the window is already used before calling this function, nothing will change.

Message Identifier

The entry identifier of the message inside section 5 of the fontpack_it.bin file.

The value will be subtracted by 1 after being passed.

If an invalid value is passed (e.g. 0 -> -1), this function will have no effect on the next opened window.

Examples

Display a message that the party menu was added.

setmeswinmesid(0, 58);

Display a message that the map for the Leviathan was obtained.

setmeswinmesid(0, 73);

Notes

If the entry type of the message is Mist, the displayed content will also be added to the inventory.
