overlay menu/info

[P1-Kashwak]

Ok here is what I am trying to do. I have a action in the player menu to popup a info screen in game and everything works right now but I am using the hintC format and it just sucks.

What I am looking for is how to make it look like this.

anyone got any pointers?

Its moderately hard, but doable. What do you want the dialog to show?

my Debug monitor does this via RscTitles.

if you want it to be a pop-up, you can use cutRsc and go from there, if you want it to stop the player then you need to create the dialog and build upon that.

the dialog will show nothing but info.

like i said i already have it working in the action scroll and it pops up but there is no background so you hav to hold the left click and drag it to read it all.

can you point me to some links or something so that i can see what your talking about.

start there. should get you started.

Dialogs stop the player from doing anything if they are looking at the dialog

Displays well display

hint Text is used by the standard debug monitor

cutRsc is the best option for a static display.
