9Liners & Notepad is a client-side mod, that allows you to open a couple of documents, like a notepad or CAS-9Liner directly ingame. You can simply open these documets by pressing the assigned shortcut and you'll be able to write on them, save them or clear them. Once you save a page, it will be bound to your profile, which means, that even if you leave the mission and join a different one, your note will still be on the page where you wrote it down.
9Liners & Notepad brings the following documents to your game:
First off, you have to press ESC and navigate to: Options\Controls\Configure Addons\9Liners & Notepad
.
Here you have to assign a hotkey for each document. Also make sure to assign the 'Disable Controls' hotkey. You'll need it later.
Once you've assigned your hotkeys, you're able to open the documents by pressing the hotkeys.
Each document works the following way:
Each document will open at the page where you previously closed it.
This mod uses the profileNamespace
command to save the pages text. Each page has its own variable in profileNamespace
.
If you want so set each users text on page 1 of their notepads to "I MADE THIS MISSION!", simply add this to your init.sqf:
profileNamespace setVariable ["cw_noteblock_pageText_1", "I MADE THIS MISSION!"];
If you want only one user to have this text on page1, you have to run this code in a local script. You can also use an other page for this! (Notepad contains 50 pages)
Hope you like it,

Currently the build system is being worked on. Once done, this will allow for easy building of the mod for use in Arma 3.
The build system will require:
There are a few ways this mod has been named in the past (9liners_and_notepad, 9liner_and_notepad, 9Liners_and_Notepad, 9Liner_and_Notepad, nineliner_and_notepad, etc.)
To normalise these names, and make them less likely to run into problems in the future regarding the inclusion of a number in the name:
The prefix nln_
should be used where appropriate to avoid any potential name clashes with other mods.
