Hi Stew
The tally note pad is Ottos chalkboard within TDW UI mod.
On page 1 of the UI mod thread, there are instructions on how to use his "Options page". Within the options page is the following:-
#+-------------------------------------- ottos chalkboard --------------------------------------
# the hotkey used to bring up ottos chalkboard
# Format:
#
# ShowChalkBoardHotKey = [ False, None, False ]
# False = enabled
# None = key used
# False = shift key required
#
# so if you wanted to show the chalkboard and hot key to be shift + B:
# ShowChalkBoardHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.B, True ]
#
# if you didn't want to assign a hotkey for ottos chalkboard:
# ShowChalkBoardHotKey = [ False, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.B, False ]
#
ShowChalkBoardHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.B, True ]
# the hotkey used to increase the chalkboard count
# Format:
#
# IncreaseChalkBoardCountHotKey = [ False, None, False ]
# False = enabled
# None = key used
# False = shift key required
#
# so if you wanted the increase chalkboard count hot key to be shift + I:
# IncreaseChalkBoardCountHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.I, True ]
#
# if you didn't want to assign a hotkey for ottos chalkboard:
# IncreaseChalkBoardCountHotKey = [ False, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.I, False ]
#
IncreaseChalkBoardCountHotKey = [ True, MenuKeyManagerWrapper.Keys.I, False ]
# the message displayed on the chalkboard
# you have to use all 3 messages or you will get error!
# if you want one line to not have a message then use ""
# NOTE: all must be placed on single line with no breaks for options exporter to work correctly!
OttosChalkBoardMessage = [ "Hier ist ein U-Boat Cocktail!!", "ChalkBoard Tally", "edit your favorite" ]
Hope this helps
