Following on from the quick mod I made in this thread, please find a formal release of various journal fixes for BGEE, BG2EE and BGEE+SOD (v2.2+).

NEW VERSION - v1.1

Features:
  • Slightly redesigned layout
  • Quest Page:
    • Filters by All, Active and Completed quests
    • Changed colours to make it easier to see active vs completed quests
    • Partial fix for NO OBJECTIVE TEXT (BGEE and BG2EE) - Duplication of text to prevent 'empty entries' and the need to open the entry.
    • Clicking the textflash now opens the journal and the specific quest and hides all other quests.
  • Journal Page:
    • All user notes are now tagged and time-stamped.
    • All edits (system and user notes) are time-stamped.
    • Easy sequential editing to see progression of quests.
    • Filter by 'My Notes'.
    • Double-click to edit a note.
    • Easy deletion of user notes (click the red X).
  • Supports Italian, Polish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, French, Czech, and English

Installation:
- If you have not installed a UI mod previously then please install by using the QUICK INSTALL option, otherwise use the manual install. NB - this mod replaces the existing JOURNAL menu and any changes you've made to it previously will be lost.


QUICK INSTALL:

- Download the attached zip file.
- Go to the 'Quick Install - ' folder.
- Drop the two files into your override.


MANUAL INSTALL:

- Download the attached zip file.
- Open your UI.menu file in a text editor (if you don't have a UI.menu then use the QUICK INSTALL).
- Search for 'textflash' and scroll down until you reach this button:

- Open the 'Textflash Button' text file from the zip. Press Ctrl+A, and Ctrl+C, to copy all of the text from the file.
- Go back to the UI.menu and highlight all of the text in the button (including the bracket on the end).
- Press Ctrl+V to replace the text with the new button. Close the 'Textflash Button' text file.
- Now, search UI.menu for: initquests() and you will find the following function:

- Open the text file for the game you wish to edit. Press Ctrl+A, and Ctrl+C to copy all of the text from the file.
- Go back to the UI.menu and highlight from (and including) the ` just above the function all the way down until you reach the end of the JOURNAL menu but not the start of the RECENT EVENTS menu. You will highlight about 1000 lines of code and you should have highlighted as shown ... all of the JOURNAL menu and the two brackets, but not the word menu:

- Press Ctrl+V to paste the replacement text over the top.
- Save and close the UI.menu
- Finally, drop the language file M_JFlang.lua into your override.
- Done!


Notes:
- Remember to use the cancel button when editing notes.

Changelog:

v1.1 - Updated and improved the 'Textflash' to specific quest functions to improve results
v1.0 - First Release
