Adding a note - tonitoni1998 - 11-07-2012

how do i add a note and write the content?

i already browsed the wiki but i was not able to find something.

and by the way, how do i make a page break (dont know how you call it im not english but i am talking about that what happens when you hit "enter") or a second page?

thanks

In the level editor there's an entity-note_generic, letter, etc. Click it and put it somewhere in your map.

In the note tab, go to the entity tab and, in Text entry, add the entry of your .lang file.

To add to chaser's post, "[br]" will make a break in the page - it's the equivalent of hitting "enter" on the keyboard once.

i think i did it wrong Big Grin my .lang looks like this now:

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">Pass all the Corridors...</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
<CATEGORY Name="note_1">
<Entry Name="Note_note_1_Name">A note from the torturer...</Entry>
<Entry Name="Note_note_1_Text">I am sick of this... something ...*my text*....away! But how?</Entry>
</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

and i copied this into my note (note_1)>entity>NoteText

There must be a "Journal" category. This category includes messages, notes, mementos, etc.

<LANGUAGE>
<CATEGORY Name="CustomStoryMain">
<Entry Name="Description">Pass all the Corridors...</Entry>
</CATEGORY>

<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
<Entry Name="Note_Test01_Name">Test Note</Entry>

<Entry Name="Note_Test01_Text">This note is a test.</Entry>

</CATEGORY>
</LANGUAGE>

Something like this should work.

Well, to make a note, that's what you gotta do.
