What it is: its a decal plug-in for the game Asheron's Call

What it does: it allows you to log notes in catagories. The idea is to eliminate all them scraps of paper you keep, and lose, on your desk

so .. if you ever been asked where somewhere is?, if a friend or vassal ever asked you for an item you may have muled / stored?, if you ever need a quick reference to a thief list during trades?, if you need to make a note of a quest's date & time? Then you need :

How to use Magic Notepad:

SELECTING A NOTE:
Look at figure 1, to select a note you need to click on it. Notes are listed in the "Note Selection Area". The selected note is indicated with an arrow (see "Selected Note Indicator") once a note is selected the contents of the note will be entered in to the "Note Entry" box!

ADDING A NOTE:
The first thing to do is to decide the catagory for the note to belong to. Use the "Catagory Selection" to specify a catagory, then to add a note you type it out in the "Note Entry" box, and click the ADD button. Your newly added note will appear in the "Note Selection Area"

CHANGING A NOTE:
After selecting a note, you can change what it says by making the changes to it in the "Note Entry" box. When happy with the changes just click the UPDATE button.

REMOVING A NOTE:
Select a note you wish to remove, then click the DEL button. (*Please note* there is NO confirmation for this instruction so be sure you want to delete the note!)

DISPLAYING A NOTE:
Select the note you wish to display, then click the DISPLAY button. The note will be displayed in the chat window. (see figure 2)

MAKING A MULTIPLE LINE NOTE:
Since there is only 1 "Note Entry" box, all your data for an individual note needs to corrispond as 1 line. By using the underscore: _ within the note, this will insert a linefeed. Once the note has been added and you wish to display it you will see where the underscores have been placed there will be a new line for each one!

THE "PASTE" BUTTON:
Using this button will cause any copied text to be added to the "Note Entry" box (Note this will not CLEAR the "Note Entry" box, it will append text to what exists in the box)

THE "CLEAR" BUTTON:
Using this button will clear the "Note Entry" box.

Future Development:

Some idea's I would like to implement.

  • Theif Detector:
    A quick compare against the PEOPLE's list when a trade window is opened, if the person is listed as a "THIEF" in the PEOPLE's catagory a warning will be displayed
  • Stock List:
    This command will automatically log a 'selected' item within the ITEM's list, so you can keep an eye on what you have, and which char's the items are on - without even logging off and back on!
