[closed] How to make my own gui.show_story

[ZombieKnight]

Hi,

Code: Select all

gui.show_story

Shows a 1) text and background, text has that golden bar/line above
-----------2) when no background is given it shows a text on black background WITHOUT THAT GOLDEN BAR/LINE!!!
An I'd like to display text WITH background, but WITHOUT golden bar/line . . .
How to do so?
How to show a message/narration WITHOUT that golden bar/line?

The story screen is even more complicated than the narration dialog, so I think reimplementing it with gui.show_dialog is a very bad idea. You're welcome to try it if you really want to, but you're almost certainly going to end up with something inferior to the original.

I thought I could just put true in that if, that says if theres a golden line or not...
Okay I'm sticking with the default one

Clearly a job for AI.

You could try to make the background as ASCII art, then it wouldnt show the gold bar.

There's a lot of functionality built in to the story screen that you would have to reimplement yourself if you wanted to alter its appearance.

You mean like putting image there instead of backgroung?
If so ... if there are coverters, shouldn't be a big deal.

Answer: just make shroud, cinematic theme + dialog(though you can't move back or skip it now).
