Custom Texts

Hi, I am using the following code to display text without editing the file .GXT or create files .FXT.

...
gosub @SubStrings
wait 5000
0AA5: call 0x588BE0 num_params 4 pop 4 0 0 0 1@
...

:SubStrings
0A9F: 1@ = current_thread_pointer
1@ += 0x10
0A8D: 1@ = read_memory 1@ size 4 virtual_protect 0
1@ -= @SubMsgWelcome
1@ += 4
return

:SubMsgWelcome
0900: "Welcome to blablabla..."
jump @SubMsgEnd

:SubMsgUsage
0900: "Press ~h~~k~~PED_ANSWER_PHONE~~w~ + ~h~~k~~PED_FIREWEAPON~~w~ to blablabla..."

:SubMsgEnd
0000: NOP

Well, the code works correctly, but the problem is that the text is displayed in game all in UPPERCASE mode and I not want this. Is there a way to solve this problem???

Thanks!

Re: Custom Texts

Go to Sanny's Options-Format-Case converting and set this option to 'As Is'. SB won't convert the strings to uppercase anymore.

Re: Custom Texts

OK, Thanks. I have another problem now! . Is the same code but optimized.

{$CLEO}

thread 'TEST'
wait 5000
1@ = 0
gosub @SubStrings //DISPLAY THE 1ST MESSAGE
wait 5000
1@ = 1
gosub @SubStrings //DISPLAY THE 2ND MESSAGE

:LabelControls
...

:SubStrings
0A9F: 2@(1@,2i) = current_thread_pointer
2@(1@,2i) += 0x10
0A8D: 2@(1@,2i) = read_memory 2@(1@,2i) size 4 virtual_protect 0
if
  1@ == 0
jf @SubStrings02
3@ = @SubMsgWelcome
jump @SubStrings03

:SubStrings02
3@ = @SubMsgUsage

:SubStrings03
0062: 2@(1@,2i) -= 3@
2@(1@,2i) += 4
0AA5: call 0x588BE0 num_params 4 pop 4 0 0 0 2@(1@,2i)
return

:SubMsgWelcome
0900: "Welcome to blablabla..."
jump @SubMsgEnd

:SubMsgUsage
0900: "Press ~h~~k~~PED_ANSWER_PHONE~~w~ + ~h~~k~~PED_FIREWEAPON~~w~ to blablabla..."

:SubMsgEnd
0000: NOP

I created an array to facilitate the use of the messages. The first msg is diplayed correctly, but in the second msg the game crashes! Is the array index that is wrong or what?

Re: Custom Texts

Try this:

{$CLEO}

thread 'TEST'
wait 5000
0AB1: call_scm_func @SubStrings 1 @String1 //DISPLAY THE 1ST MESSAGE
wait 5000
0AB1: call_scm_func @SubStrings 1 @String2 //DISPLAY THE 2ND MESSAGE
wait 5000
0AB1: call_scm_func @SubStrings 1 @String3 //DISPLAY THE 3RD MESSAGE

0A93: end_custom_thread


:SubStrings // do not edit this routine, only strings below
0A9F: 1@ = current_thread_pointer
1@ += 0x10
0A8D: 1@ = read_memory 1@ size 4 virtual_protect 0
1@ -= 0@ // 0@ is the label @StringN
1@ += 4
0AA5: call 0x588BE0 num_params 4 pop 4 0 0 0 1@
0AB2: ret 0

:String1
0900: "Welcome to blablabla..."
:String2
0900: "Press ~h~~k~~PED_ANSWER_PHONE~~w~ + ~h~~k~~PED_FIREWEAPON~~w~ to blablabla..."
:String3
0900: "Another blahblahblah"


0000: null_termitator
