DIALOGUE 2.0

[pyrometal]

I have a few things to say:

-one day of work (16 hours) to build.
-Press space to continue.
-It'll explain its abilities itself.
-I WANT COMMENTS

-----EDIT-----
Here is a graphically stripped down version of the code. I'll post instructions on how to use it later. You can upgrade the look of the graphics by replacing the code with some of your own graphical functions. I hope your eyes don't start bleeding when you look at the scripts... lol.

awesome.

some GE users may get angry at you for not releasing the code... XD

[Spidy]

OMG this is cool man when will u release the codes?

[pyrometal]

Well... the thing is I'm using these codes for my next game, which happens to be an RPG... If I was to release these codes, then people would then be using my text style and window algorithm in their games, which would mean that their RPG's would look exactly like mine... And, of course, I don't really want that to happen...

Here's what I might do (if people really want me too):
Release a stripped down version of the code with my previous text font code (which has no black outlining, previously released in spyrographs 2.0) and replace my window code with a simple version of such code. I'll leave the engine as is though, so you can colorize and pause as much as wanted. At any rate, this should show everyone interested how to build such engines.

ttyl everyone!

ok.
well, I haven't figgered out how to write such codes yet, and (I must admit) I haven't really tried yet =)
I'll think of somehting until you release the codes (someday)
=)

Posting a screenshot for this demo.

Cool... you must have put a lot of effort into that...

I've always wanted true text in my games...

Nice work!

[Kalladdolf]

I know how to compare and copy text...
but that self-writing-talking-appearing-thing is kinda tricky.

[pyrometal]

Its a function whici was put in a draw actor event of a few canvas actors. That's all, but it is slightly complicated...

[Lexcondran]

dude i dont care about your codes because its your stuff. all i wish to know is how to do that stuff.
i want to be able to make text, colored text, and the thing were it will appear and make noise. i will make my own
animations and font types.

[pyrometal]

You can't do this in GE without codes and canvas tough, and you'll have to spend at least 5 to 6 hours to create a monochrome font alone. My character printing algorithm is literally about 1200 lines of codes (not joking).

[Kalladdolf]

didn't know it was that complicated O_o

[pyrometal]

Its not complicated, its just very long to do because you have 95 pixel arrays for every character(letters and number etc) and you have to do every pixel one by one.

[Kalladdolf]

it just dawned to me that you don't use regular text with regular fonts... *slaps head*

[DarkParadox]

i want it....
