Thanks guys.. and my aim name is konidias.

I just got finished with my test of progressive text. It's basically like the new message thing on 2k1 (the white text that appears near the bottom of your screen) Except that mine is progressive with adjustable speed, and that you can break the string into sections so it would be like:

Player touches guy, text progressively appears at the bottom of the screen "Hello, welcome to Oasis." you press A "I hope you have a good time Konidias!"

The way to make it say it is simply by setting a client string to:
Hello, welcome to Oasis.|I hope you have a good time #n!

I will probably just use this method for in-game events (not talking with players or reading signs or things) I will use a graphical text message box with graphic text for talking with people and reading things.

Can we see the progressive text?

And so all the conversations with the characters and such will be done via text box or is there some other brilliant idea for this?

Well, it's kind of hard to show progressive text unless I post the entire script here and I don't wanna do that.. but here is the general idea:

It types out letter after letter and you can set the speed to your reading speed.

then when the line is finished, you simply press A and it will start with the next line (if there is a next line) Oh and when he says his name it's actually grabbing the nick of the npc using #n(-1) in the string.

Very nice!

Lao_Su2 · #8 03-26-2002, 05:51 AM

Heh that looks very very good
But you are making your own text box if that is how you will be doing conversations right?

Agrhm... here is my pathetic attempt to makeing a table... in Oasis like Graphics... it still needs more texture and such...

PS: It's 100% unofficial... lol like I needed to say that.

That looks good i could eat a picnic on that heh

Androk2k1 · #11 03-26-2002, 06:38 AM

AGRH! How does konidias do this? If you look close, he uses not more then 3 colors in 1 object!

LOL I think I use 4 shades in some stuff.. it's all about making a good outline and then adding little details.

I usually use one outline color, one inside color, and then I use a darker color of the inside color for shading.. if something requires a bit more color, I just use a lighter color than the inside color.

Pretty good.. could use some wood lines on the top part of the table (if you know what I mean, sorta like the current graal tables except more natural) also, it could stand to be a bit higher.. kinda low to the ground
