So I've been working on some modding and wanted to ask if there is a way to make text scroll across this my only problem is that its an object that will be in players view in game. It's a textbox the companion brings up to say something when player does something cool, or dies, presses a button, etc. this textbox needs to have text scroll on it as I have made 300 lines for the companion to say. Doing 300 seperate textboxes, renaming each, and sorting through them in code would be tedious, so I want a message to show up on it that will go in the parameters of the box. Of course the box goes away a short while after the message is shown. The textbox also needs an option and binded button to be pulled up for a dad joke for the companion to make, and a button to pull it away if it is getting in the way of combat. If anyone can give me some ideas on how to achieve this i'd love that.

@Redneckerz no replies on it on zdoom forums so I guess I need help here cause these forums are much more active

ok

@Redneckerz Thanks for the guides Im slowly getting an idea of how I will execute the process of all of these lines popping up its just the text generation I need help with, I have no idea how I will align the text nor how to connect the number from the randompick to the lines and the text box. If anyone can help with that it would be awesome. The textboxes may not be integral and may have to move the entire idea of the lines to it being said in the gz console

Thanks

@Redneckerzany links, manuals, or tutorials you could find? I don't mind this being in thread since its topic related, but then also anything you have to bring to the table when it comes to executing the code for my idea?

@jerrysheppy damn

I've been thinking.... maybe I just need some videos for z scripting in ZDoom decorate. I have only the smallest idea of how this works like maybe each phrase contains typed text, and having a script that generates what you typed in on the text box and aligns it on the text box, and each phrase has a name that can be called out to be used because all of these phrases will have an 1 percent chance of happening. To explain there is also 3 things it will pop up for A. A good kill streak B. Player Death C. Dad jokes (yes there will be a button just for dad jokes) Dad jokes and player deaths are things that could be set up by themselves as I only need to bind a key for dad jokes and set up a script to have a phrase show up upon death. So basically I guess we would have a template script that picks 1 of 100 of the quotes meant for the event in question, and we would have a script up top that has all the scripting for what triggers the sequence. Then under after all three of those picking scripts are set up below would be the just seas of phrases that mind you are categorized and below the phrases is text alignment and generation scripts. I know a rough outline of how this will work but I have no idea on how to do the scripting All I need is A. scripting help, or B. a link to separate thread, video, manual about ZDoom coding

now

help

As a disclaimer I already have changed the file to a pk3. Now onto the topic, I am trying to make a mod but It won't boot up unless if its a wad archive but I want to categorize my files in my mod by type of graphic and script so I have changed my zip to a pk3, but the problem is my archive won't play when I boot up gz with it

Inside of Faces is those graphics and inside of hud is faces

doesn't do crap, and doesn't make sense the sprite replacement isn't working, lumps don't matter, and nor does a lot of what I just read about what I just looked at and comparing it mods I already have none of the mods contain lumps, no solution you gave worked

None, the archive for my mod even though its archive was open didn't boot up with average doom 2

To clear up MP3 won't work, nor will .mid, I use garage band. Please help me im working on a map pack called but a good map pack is nothing with out music and I can just not get it to work, the midi files turn into folders that can't be selected in slade 3 and I've watched so many damn tutorials and none of them work, if I drag in a midi file from another wad it works totally fine, it looks like I don't have something that can completely convert to midi or I need some add on for slade 3 any help?

@Kappes Buur I looked at your advice on zdoom forums but slade can't identify crap with my mp3 or any mp3

I have a 64 bit version although I can't find timidity's executable @Kappes Buur

So Im making a map pack and for the opening level I want that one texture from tower of babel that is the one of the dead baron of hell used for a door, I can't use it since I have a shareware doom copy, If anyone can give me the texture I'd be greatful

Bruh I know, im just lazy and don't wanna spend 5 dollars on it, I just want the tower of babel dead baron on wall texture thats all I want

also quicky actually my custom title texture if anyone has feedback it would be epic

I just want a simple texture file thats all, Im really not savy enough to go through the pain of resizing stuff

I wanted to just go to map making since I already played all the og games, also the full version says its for windows which I don't know if its corporate bullcrap cause none of them no what a mac os sourceport is or if its only meant for windows

to many pixels, won't work I need the real texture from the wad
