A friend of mine asked me if I could make a Gab Window plugin for him, and although there should be many out there, I thought this would be a fun task to do!
Gab Windows are text windows that you can dynamically put on the game screen, whether they are part of the game’s HUD or a speech bubble above the player or any other NPC. As they interpret text codes (\C, \V, …), doing something with Icons and Variables becomes super simple!
