Hello, I would like to make the dialogue/text box/bubble disappear so that I can take a short video capture of this scene (see photo) to use it as an animated wallpaper (wallpaper engine).
Is this possible ?
Because it doesn't look very nice with the text box.
Thanks 🙂

There should be a key in Debug mod to hide the UI

I'm not sure if it removes dialogue boxes though

#

Personally I don't remember ever seeing anything that removed dialogue boxes

Ho sad ... 😭 Thanks for the answers anyway 🙂

It would make sense there isnt a "remove dialogue mod",since that would softlock you
But "toggle dialogue box" would be nice,actually

Do you still need it? I think I can create a temporary mod to do that

A temporary mod? Lol

I mean "temporary" because it would be better to have this feature in Debug mod. However, I have to read the understand the mod's codebase to contribute, which takes like, lots of efforts and I dont have much time

Math has like 25 simple-ish mods on modlinks,so you could just do the same and leave it there instead of making it "temporarry",is what i meant

Oh thank you ! grubheart
I admit that if you manage to do it I will be very happy ! 😊
No worries, take your time, I don't want to bother you if you have other things to do, it's already very kind of you to offer flower

tawdry blade Sep 11, 2025, 3:36 PM

#

Yeah and it's harder than I thought zote Can't seem to find the game object which shows the dialogue

cinder seal Sep 11, 2025, 3:39 PM

#

Something with the layers maybe?

tawdry blade Sep 12, 2025, 2:58 PM

#

Turns out they are simply located in _GameCameras/HudCameras/DialogueManager feelspkman

#

Where should I change it ? Sorry I'm verry new for modding shroompog

tawdry blade Sep 12, 2025, 3:12 PM

#

No no, you don't need to understand that. I am writing one for you

#

But actually you can manually do that with with Unity Explorer mod:

Install Unity Explorer on Lumafly/Scarab
Go the the room and talk to someone that you want to hide the text box
Press F7
You should see there's a dropdown menu on near-top of the Object Explorer window, click on that and choose "DontDestroyOnLoad"
Search for DialogueManager in the text field below that drop down menu and press enter
Uncheck the green box next to the text DialogueManager to hide it
Press F7 again to hide the Unity Explorer UI and enjoy
This method would make you freeze talking with the NPC but since you're using this to make background, it should be fine

#

Feel free to ask anything if you are stuck with something

#

Here we go just manual install this mod, i don't even have time to post it on Lumafly lol

@old jackal Hey uhh could you make an animated grimm background like that and share me shroompog ? That would be very great

old jackal Sep 14, 2025, 4:10 PM

#

Yes we pleasure ! I was planning to publish it in the wallpaper engine workshop 😉

Sorry I haven't taken care of it yet, lots of things to do at the moment... 😅

tawdry blade Sep 14, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

Actually no need to publish to the workshop. Only a gif is enough
Yeah and feel free to do it anytime

@tawdry blade Hi ! I'm so sorry for the long delay, but I've been very busy (moving to another country). Thank you so much for the mod ! It works perfectly !! Thanks again ! grubheart (If there's one update to add to this mod, it would be that when you talk to a character, their name (which often appears in the bottom left or right corner) should also disappear).

#

So I posted the animated wallpaper on Wallpaper Engine zote
