After a lot of work, trial and error and experimentation, I finally managed to reproduce a dialog box that behaves almost like in 1.3.
It only have one scrollbar
If you scroll up, you get the dialog history in the same box
It should work even with bigger font
It should work for BG1EE, SoD and BG2EE
Here are some screenshots:
Installation: - Select all the text from these lines: `
worldNPCDialogText = "" to the line before this code: menu
{
name 'CHARACTER_SELECT'
And replace the selected text with the content of the attached text file.
Changelog: v0.3: Less text flashing. The scrollbar only appears when you start scrolling. v0.2: Fix history height computation. Fix out of bound access. v0.1: Initial release
Great progress! In our testing we get a flash of some kind of ghost text (I don’t know what it should be called) each time we pick a reply option or hit the continue button. It never stays, it’s just like this very quick flash.
Other then that, the single scroll bar is there and works well. Just thought I’d let you know as I’m not sure if that is what your experiencing as well.
Again, thank you for working on this.
Edit: I forgot to add that our test was on a BGEE only install, with the latest patch.

Is it possible to make the dialog box taller by default? If so, could you tell me which values would I need to edit to change it?
Nice mod. I definitely prefer the old dialog box.
Does this mod work with IWDEE (beta v. 2.5)?
