No problem at all, glad to be of some help.

@soopytwist Thank you! :)

Unsub the Steam mod, download the folder from the dropbox link below and put it in the game's Mods folder. If you want to change the time to 15 seconds then edit the file chatbubbles.config.patch with Notepad (Notepad++ recommended) and change the value 10 to 15.

Would you mind making 2 more verions for this? 10 seconds and 15, im playing with my nephew and he can't read english that well yet. it's helped a lot so far but frackin universe has so much more text to read :P

thanks. very helpful

or helpful for people who read slower

really helpful for guys like us.. that aren't native English speakers. Thank you for this little gift.

So this is still useful! yay!

Lol chuckle fist. xD hehehe that would be funny~

PLEASE NOTE: The Starbound update 1.0.4 has extended the NPC chat bubbles to 4.5 seconds... that's a whole ONE AND A HALF SECONDS extra!



Use my mod instead and they'll stay on screen for 6 seconds. My mod is patch compatible so it'll stay working regardless what Chucklefist do.

Update just came out where it extends the chat bubble in game. How long does it stay for now by default?

Before.. I wanted to click an npc 50 times to read what they said.. now.. I only have to click them 25 times.. Thanks Soopy!

Thanks for doing this - I read slowly so this a really big help, hate missing story bits, breaks the immersion!

@MaBra I thoroughly expect them to patch it at some point (making this mod useless). I'm more concerned with the apparent lack of a pause function.

This should be implemented in vanilla.

If you want to change the time for chat bubble display unsubscribe from the mod and download this instead:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6htz922uy36njty/SayWhat.zip?dl=0 .

After unzipping, edit the chatbubbles.config.patch file with Notepad. Starbound can use unpacked files as long as they are in the mods or user folder.

Alternatively use the asset unpacker in the win32 folder to unpack contents.pak from the workshop folder, change the maxAge value then repack it back to contents.pak - that way I get to keep your sub

any 'longer longer' options? sometimes npc's say a hellofalot that i can't read in 3 (or 6) seconds xD

say... 8~11 seconds or so?

Thank you.

JS, there should be an option in vanilla to set for how long you want the bubbles to stay up. Thx for this!

Nice, I use to always miss that last 5 words on big chat bubbles.
