Latest Release Download Count

An incredibly basic recreation of DF Chat Enhancements's Adventure Log feature. Copy a message from chat into a page in a journal. System agnostic.

I do not have the time to maintain or improve this tool past making it run for my own table. I do have time to review pull requests though! :o)

Using the right-click context menu in the Chat Messages tab, any user can chose to 'Write Message to Journal'. This adds a copy of the chat message into the journal

  • Before using this feature, each user must first select a target journal in Game Settings
  • Messages can be saved in an existing page, or a pre-named page (Noted Messages) will be created
  • Messages are placed at the top of whatever is already existing in the page, and should be non-destructive
  • Journal/page selection is based off name, so changing names will require users to update their choices in Game Settings
  • Timestamps are adjusted to be permanent rather than relative, and some message management (delete button etc) is stripped out
  • Manually editing a page with saved message can and will destroy styling/formatting
  • Buttons and any other advanced features in messages will/should not work in the journal page
  • Easily split noted messages into their own entries if you use the module Split Join Journal!
