Custom Text? #58

Open vexter0944 opened 6 months ago

vexter0944 commented 6 months ago

Can we inject custom text via files or an api? I'd like to have time or other small text items show up and appear from time to time.

Thanks!

OK - did some more digging - messages.ini and a shift-K to switch from sprite to message mode gets it done.

vexter0944 commented 6 months ago

Is there any way to time these or inject via a remote code call or api call?

milkdrop2077 commented 6 months ago

If you code a bit you could use the messages.ini to customize your message and with a timer + FindWindow and PostMessage simulate the keys 00, 01, 02, 03... to display your own messages at a certain time. Or wait a few months it's on my to-do list already!

@milkdrop2077 - thanks for the response, sorry I missed it, was not notified from github. I can do some scripting/coding without too much issue - Autoit would make this super simple. I'm happy to wait for the option. Hope you do some kind of api or maybe mqtt, would make it easy to handle. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts, appreciate that!
