• Title: lib_message (id 461183) - message & menu library
• Description: This library wraps all standard message & menu functions in a nice, easy to use way. It allows user to display messages, change their parameters, and handle user input.
• Registered: no
• Download: .lib | .gmk (example)

Tab screenshot:

As can be seen, this library contains 3 sections. These are:

• Messages - provides simple interface for displaying messages, questions, and input boxes. Result (button index or input value) is returned into variable result (which can be also compared via last action in this group).
• Settings - these provide easy-to-use interface for modifying all message parameters as background, colors, font, sizes. For simplicity, font actions take a ingame font as parameter, instead of full font name.
• Menu - group of actions to provide simplier interface for creating pop-up menus. Lower there of actions add menu item, menu item with a hotkey (specified on right side of menu), and separator. After menu is executed, number of clicked item (or 0 if none) is returned into variable result.

Comments are welcome.
Have a nice day.

A fair amount of time was spent on drawing icons for this library, and it would be (a bit) sad if only small group of people (that it was originally made for) were the only ones to observe them.

I understand that this is a rather simply library, however it provides easy-to-use interface for working with its targets.

Srry i forgot to post.
Anyway, this is very useful. However when i test res it never continues! 0_o but i never new about some of features until i looked into the LIB

Anyway, this is very useful.

Thanks! I'm glad to know that this serves both as a library and reference. I can't call inner structure of .lib perfect, but it's slightly better organized than most of packages I've seen.

However when i test res it never continues!

What do you mean? As far as I've tested (and included example displays), RES returns appropriate values (however can be overridden by calling other function from library - for that reason example uses Else blocks).

Over course of a year, library was downloaded over 200 times, example was downloaded close to a hundred times, and a single comment was left.

Could probably use a bit more downloads... and comments.

I'm downloading now. Before continuing, may I ask it this lib helps in creating text-based adventures?
I kinda need a slider when text is taller than the textbox used.

Arigatô guzaimasu.
