A function added by the JIP NVSE Plugin.
Contents
Description
This function is an extended version of MessageEx, and enables configuring both the display time, the icon of the message, and a played sound.
The icon and played sound are both optional, and are passed as part of the formatted string, before the actual message text, each suffixed with a bar "|" symbol (see examples below).
- The icon is a path to a DDS image file (relative to ..\Data\Textures).
- The played sound is the Editor ID of a Sound form, and must be prefixed with a $.
Syntax
MessageExAlt displayTime:float messageText:formattedString formatVars(up to 20)
