I thought you might like to see the routine that I made for the text, which is based off of Kevins' but mine is a bit smaller

prgmZTD:
3->X:3->Y:1->C:2->W
While W=2
Text(X,Y,Sub(Str0,C,1
For(A,1,# ; The higher the number, the slower the text is displayed
End ; If you do not want variable text speed, you can take the For and End statements out
C+1->C:Y+4->Y
If sub(Str0,C,1)="/
Then
C+1->C:X+6->X:3->Y
End
If sub(Str0,C,1)="+
Repeat getKey
End ;Wait for Key routine
ClrDraw
3->X:3->Y:C+1->C
If sub(Str0,C,1)="*
1->W
End

String example: "ABCDEFGHIJ/KLMNOPQRST/UVWXYZ+ASIOIWEIDHFKH/HAOSUHF/ASHDFOAOIH+*"->Str0

nice, small and clear... :thumb:

mine has too many If then end for special chars, that

Without the variable text speed, it is almost lighting fast.

Let me know though...

uuuhkay... compared to mine yours is just... speedy... :bow:

Now I have to make mine better :evil:

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

You shall never accomplish this task! You are DOOMED!

:rofl:

Arcane Wizard posted something on unitedti:

QUOTE

"You can split the text into lines and display each seperately.->Str0
For(L,1,int(Length(Str0)/16
16(L-1)+1->S
16->E
Length(Str0
E-(16-16fPart(Ans/16))(E>(Ans-16L
Disp sub(Str0,S,E
End

Replace 16 with the allowed length of each line. For example, you could use 20 if you place the text on the graph screen with Text( instead of Disp. Then you would use Y+7(L-1 to determine the vertical display position of the currrent line ( Text(Y+7(L-1),X,sub(Str0,S,E ).

kewl... this calls for some major thinking on my part...
I

Only prob with Arcane's code is that if it isn't divisible by the selected number, you will get a domain error.

That is why I am just gonna stick with what I got...

nice stuff, now ROL3 is doomed O_O

Well, Kevin, I think it is time for you to go through and update the code.

Especially now that there is resource...

BOT:

Remember how my map segments are stored? I am going to use a similar method to store my dialogues, I want to store all of them within a certain area as one string. Then using 2 variables, and the sub( command, call the specific part of the string, and store it to a diff string, then delete the one with all the text in it.

What do you think?

tenniskid493 · « **Reply #55 on:** January 19, 2006, 03:09:00 pm »

sounds like a good idea. But how big are those strings going to be. If you store more than like 10 dialogues in one string..the string is going to be massive.

tifreak · « **Reply #56 on:** January 19, 2006, 03:18:00 pm »

I... dont know yet. That will be one other thing that I have to experiment with...

heheheheh, thats wat i did. hmmmmm....gonna have to see if ur text routine runs faster than mine.........

edit: nicely done Tifreak8x, runs very fast. wonder if it will run faster if at the beginning use:
length(string->theta
and then for(C,1,theta
ur routine works for small text though, while mine works for large text. guess i have to go back to the drawing board

tifreak · « **Reply #58 on:** January 20, 2006, 02:01:00 am »

My routine can be made to work with big text, you just have to adjust some variables.

And thanks.

I like to try to improve upon my programs, and others when I can.
