G'day everyone:

I've been playing around with the source code of VNDSx 1.4.8, partly as a crash course in c++, and I've been looking at ways to make colouring text more user-friendly for scripters.

I've modified the script_interpreter and script_engine files, so now I've got 6 extra 'commands' (those words at the start of the line), which change the colour of the line of text:

• textred (e.g. 'textred pie' produces 'pie' in red font)
• textblue
• textgreen
• textcyan
• textpurple
• textyellow

I chose to do it this way as, I figured, few people would require colours beyond these.

As I stated, this is more a personal project, but I'd like some feedback If people think a mode like this is better then the whole ANSI code method. Anyway:
compiled: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mwajorjtjjm/vndsxH.zip
source: http://www.mediafire.com/file/z2rymlmtttg/vndsxH-src.zip

That really makes it more simple xD. Just wondering though, do the original commands still work? Because sometimes it could be that people want to use the color on a specific word within the sentence like (just made up a syntax for demonstration) "This is the [textred]Red words[/textred] and this is the [textblue]Blue words[/textblue]."?

needs more .patch

The way this works is simply changing the 'defualt colour' of the text for each line, so yes, you can still use the ANSI codes to change the text colour

??

I believe he means more colors to choose from.
Honestly that seems like enough to me though.

diff, whatever.

some way for me to merge it into the main branch without me having to just copy/paste over my stuff.

You don't really need language support:
gsetvar red = "\x1b[36;1m"
text $red This text is red

anoNL, you are definitely a genius xD. I would have totally never thought of that.

...whoa, why didn't I think of that??!

ah well, it was a good intro to the language anyway...
