Ideas:
You could just completely integrate this one over other extensions, program info for each tag found in the dialog.
For example, keep a record of the “face” tag, if at any point a face is shown throughout a page, that whole page will need to have the alignment begin at the extra scripts preference for new msg x.
If a glyph tag is found, add the width of whatever bitmap it’s tied to, plus the padding.
If a <bc> <clear> <end> etc is found, of course, that page would be finished.
- Aligning Text, vertical and horizontal
- Requires a count of text width for the characters throughout a line
- Characters, Drawn Images, Different Fonts, Dialog Flow (
<clear>, <bc>, \n) - Inserted Text, can it be fetched when the line calculations are happening? Then should it be assumed to stay the same or be re-fetched once it comes up?
- Split dialog into lines, tie extra-draw characters to these lines
Calculate the dialog beforehand, allow for aligning vertically and horizontally, new page, align everything properly (fonts, etc.), calculate face box, yadayada…
Use whatever properties are set when calculation starts as the basis, then calculate for these additional commands as they show up.
<glyph IMAGE> (get width of image being used)
<face IMAGE> (reduce message width by amount set in face prefs)
<showattr [ATTR]> (get value of attribute, add width of that text to calculation)
<typefont FONT> (change font used for calculations)
<bc> (marks end of page)
<clear> (marks end of page)
<close> (marks end of page)
<end> (marks end of page)
<dg DG> (marks end of page)In general, if a dialog is going to CHANGE the message width/height/drawX/drawY, it needs to have a function for getting that info based on args.
Centered text. Toggled with a tag.
Options for recalculating the center position every character, based on the currently drawn line and calculating the center position at the start of the line.
