Window Name?

Anyone know the name of the window (or how to close the window) that lists mission options for Newspaper/Scanner.

That window is the same as any other contact dialog window and can only be closed by clicking the red "x" in the corner of it, or by making a selection.

I suppose you can use /gamereturn or /window_close_extra as well, but that will also close other windows you might not want closed.

Sometimes another window will show up on top of the one I want to close and it seems like the red x isn't working. If that happens, you can try to grab and drag the top window out of the way, click the window you want to close to bring it to the front, or first close the window that is over the one you intended to close.

Sorry should have said I'm trying to close this by keypress, I have a fairly long bind that I use to accept/exit missions/etc I'd like to add this to it. I did try /gamereturn or /window_close_extra but as you say they tend to close too much.

Is what I have.

Like I said, there is no other command for it..

So I guess the only other thing I can suggest might be to use trickery to close that window by adding something like this to your command string:
Quote:
$$wdwsavefilesilent wdwtemp$$gamereturn$$wdwloadfilesilent wdwtemp
I just tested it, and it seems to work just fine. The contact dialog is closed, and the rest of the UI is unchanged (though it may "flash" when it refreshes).

Note: There is no need to use a ".txt" extension on a filename you don't plan on opening outside of the game.

Completely unable to get either wdwloadfilesilent or wdwsavefilesilent to work in game. However the non 'silent' version works fine thanks for the help.

I will admit I only tested it as "wdwloadfile" and "wdwsavefile", and assumed the silent would work. Apparently the "silent" extension is only for binds.

Oh well.. at least you got it to work. I hope it doesn't interfere with any of the other commands you have in your string.
