Hi mnemonic... I hope you don't mind, me posting all the time in the "wishlist" forum.

I know that there can be entities inside a window but how about sprites? It could be usefull for a lot of cases. For example it can be really cool for animated items in the inventory (when the mouse is over them) or animated windows. (I am thinking Leo's first scene. He could make the phone's screen animated...)

No, I don't mind

You can have sprites on windows using the following syntax:

Code: [Select]

STATIC
{
  X = 10
  Y = 20
  IMAGE = "path\MySprite.sprite"
}

The "static" widgets can be either text or sprites.

The same applies to inventory items; basically, WME doesn't differentiate between a simple static BMP/TGA image and a sprite. Those are interchangable.

Oh... thanks... I feel stupid now   Sometimes it's better not to talk I guess

You don't need to feel stupid, I should. It's not documented anywhere...

Well, I have tried to create a "flying-moving" font by using a sprite (Yeah, I know, it's crazy... but I liked the idea).... and it doesn't recognise the .sprite as an image file.

OK, you got me. They are not interchangable everywhere I was thinking about animated fonts before, but didn't get to that yet. Wat brought me to that idea was a rotating-letters font used in Time Guard.

Heh, heh!!!

So, this is a TODO? What's this "Time Guard"?

It's a TODO I've forgotten about OK, it's a regular TODO now
