What do you have in mind?
First is the textbox thing. I was half-way through writing a variable-length string table for textboxes, including an index and defragmenting routines before I realized that this was pointless. The other one was a flexible shape drawing system, in the style of the plotstring system (no, I wasn't going to call it plotshapes...). I even wrote an oval drawing routine since allmodex lacked one. But, it was overly complex, and too much trouble for this point in time. I'm going to revive this later, in a different form. The rewriting I wish to do is in the graphics system, much like I've discussed aeons ago, but never got around to doing. Either way, I'm going to forget about all this stuff for the time being, and finish the various features I started, so we can get U done with, so I can get back to this stuff :) > > > What is the feature? > > > > Word wrapping plotstrings.

I only added the colour codes because I could (plus, it was fun adding colour to custom's main menu ;) -- Mike Caron Final Fantasy Q http://finalfantasyq.com _______________________________________________ ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
