To replace the text you can edit the hud for the use key.

go to #FPSCDirectory#\Files\languagebank\english\gamecore\text and it's called pressentertouse.dds

You will need something that can open DDS files, if you don't already I suggest Gimp with the DDS file plugin.

Check out this thread: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=171157&b=23

All the scripts work with 1.17, but the text simply appears when the player is near enough the object, its not necessary to put the cursor exactly over the object.

In 1.18 they should be working as originally intended.

In case you find my grammar and spelling weird ---> native German speaker ^^

RPG Mod has everything you need. However, it takes a lot of scripting. It has:

* Objectives system
* Immediate objective feature
*clues system
* Informational system displaying text derived from a text file.
* Chat system
* and more

It has a complete textual system for those who would rather use text than huds.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

Add more adventure to your game -- use RPG Mod

In that thread is a download link for 300 ready-made scripts. The first post does make that clear and doesnt ask you to script yourself.

AND every single script includes a short explanation how to use it.

AND theres a link for a 10-minute youtube vid, that shows how the scripts look ingame.

If all that is still not enough to satisfy your needs OR if it is too much work for you to do half an hour of watching and reading, than I cannot help you - and I don't think I even want to

PS: does it physically hurt to use punctuation?
