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 :)smile.gif

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

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

Let me know though...

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 ).

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

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

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

Especially now that there is resource... :Dbiggrin.gif

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. :)smile.gif

What do you think?

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.

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  ;)wink.gif

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

And thanks. :)smile.gif

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