About line breaks - Antamaru - 08-10-2020
Normally if a line is too long the line breaks automatically. I don't know if the routine cutting off the blank and begins with the new word in the new line, or keep the blank.
What i want is to keep the blank before the new word in the new line, but I don't know if it's possible and if, how to do that.
How it is:
Quote:WEDGE: Hard to believe an
Esper's been found intact there,
1000 years after the War of the
Magi…
How I want it to be:
Quote:Wedge*The _ resembles the blank (The browser keep cutting my blanks off)
"Hard to believe an Esper's
_been found intact there, 1000
_years after the War of the Magi…"

I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but can't you just add in the blank manually like the game does for instance with the beginning intro scene?:
Long ago, the War of the Magi
reduced the world to a
scorched wasteland, and magic
simply ceased to exist.
Here they add in the "blank", or space, before the words to give spacing to their liking. I'd imagine it would be pretty tedious to do it like this for more than just special instances, such as the intro scene.

The manual break costs the break ($01) and the blank ($FF), apart from double tiles.
The automatic break costs nothing.
This would save me many bytes, I think.

Ah I see, I see - yeah it certainly would! If dialog bytes weren't an issue than it'd be slightly more feasible. I'm afraid I have no idea how to do it any other way.

Hi Antamaru,
I did this for ROSE -- text within double quotes gets indented by 4 pixels upon newline/wrap.
At the moment it's a bit tangled up with another mod from that project (adaptive dialog).
I am planning to release both as a package, including standalone variants.
Since you have interest in auto-indent, I'll make it a higher priority.
If you're not wild about the "within double quotes" part, I think it's a pretty simple bypass.
Cheers!
RE: About line breaks - Antamaru - 08-12-2020
Yes I want the quotation marks included.
But if you want to create a standalone patch, I will wait for it and look forward to it.
Nothing to hurry. :-)

Thanks for waiting!
I actually managed to get the auto-indent separated into its own patch, posted here:

Hope it helps with your project!
