5. How to use
-To post your message - press "B" (by default) to initiate BB menu and choose "Post message" option.
-When you leave message it will appear to everyone else who plays with BB. All messages are shared(there's no random chance of them appearing like in Elden Ring or Dark Souls). Messages are shared betwen AE and SSE versions of the mod.
-You can leave only one message per cell(interior or exterior).
-Worldspace(non-interior) consists of small separate exterior cells. You can see what cell you are in BB menu.
-Every exterior cell can contain up to 10 messages. You usually have 9 non-interior cells loaded  with messages when you are outside.
-Every interior cell can contain up to 35 messages.
-essages for which you don't have a plugin installed(i.e.Enderal: Forgotten Stories etc) are not processed and are not counted towards messages
fetched count.
-essages are automatically removed if there they exceed the limit for the location(10 for exterior cell and 35 for interior cell)  and only if they have a lifespan more than 5 days. This means that you have a  guarantee that your message will be there for at least 5 days since you posted it and will be there forever untill cell reaches maximum amount of messages.This is done so new players can leave their messages to already populated locations.
-Only ASCII characters(English alphabet) are supported at the moment.
-Messages are not save-baked or stored in your savegames - they are loaded from server on each game start.

6. Leveling up
At level 1 you can have up to 20  messages at the same time containing up to 115 symbols.
You gain level by increasing your rating. Your rating is increased when people like your message.
To like message of other user - activate message and press "Like this message".

Level depends on your rating. By leveling up you increase the max amount of messages you can have at the same time and max symbols which they
can contain. When you hit next threshold you will level up automatically. You need to restart the game in order for changes to occur.
With each level you get +1 max message and +5 max symbols to your message.

7. Reporting messages
- If you see a message which breaks the rules, please report it. You can report it by pressing "Report this message" in message view menu. Managing your messages
At any time you can see and remove your messages at any time by pressing "Manage my messages" in BB menu.

 

8. Compatibility
1)BB is compatible with Open Cities. Messages left in Open City cells will be avaiable for those who play without and and vice versa. BB searches for ""Open Cities Skyrim.esp" plugin enabled.
2)BB is compatible with "Better MessageBox Controls" and Dear Diary Dark Mode - SkyUI Menus Replacer SE.  With these mods enabled when you type in your message and press "Space" message will be sent immediately. BB detects these mods and makes it so you can press "Left Alt" instead of "Space" to add spaces between words.

 

9. INI Configuration
After launching game with plugin at least once, you will see new file under following path: 

"Data\Config\BuildingBridges.ini" or MO2 overwrite folder.

There you can change settings below:

Hotkey - change this value from 66 to any of these keys except "Left Shift" or "Backspace".
AltNoteModel - set this value from 0 to 5 to change note model(Requires restarting game). You can see all models and their numbers in screenshots;

Note Model

SkipLikeConfirmation - set this value to 1 to skip message box after you've liked the message. You will still get the error message if something does wrong.
MessageBoxControlAutoDetection - set this value to 0 if you don't want BB to auto-detect message box altering mods.
MessageBoxControlForceAltSpaceKey - set this value to 1 if you want to force ALT key to server as "Space" instead of Space button(only when entering message). Message control mods are detected by hash value so if they are updated, BB won't auto-detect them. In this case set this value to 1.
