zone tag used as room tag

Anonymous — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:34:35 GMT

We got htis room tag from Eric Batte and I wanted to add something to the code for 3 lines for a room name. It currently has 2 lines for the room tag. here is the script from the master script:

len = strlen(ROOM_NAME)
breaker = strstr(ROOM_NAME," ")
RN = strsub(ROOM_NAME,1,breaker-1)
KN = strsub(ROOM_NAME,breaker+1,len)

and here's some of the code form the 2d:

middle = max_len/2

vlen = - shight

rot2 w
add2 -max_len/2, vlen - max_h/2

if name then
if KN<>"*" THEN
Text2 middle,-vlen, KN
endif

IF KN="*" THEN
Text2 middle,-vlen, RN
ELSE
Text2 middle,2*(-vlen), RN
ENDIF
ENDIF

How do I add another line of text?

Thanks for any help,
Michele

Need a little more of the script to help like how KN gets the value of "*", maybe in the master script or at the start of the 2D script? if the script is not copywrited can you post entire script. Otherwise just PM Eric directly, username: Eric Batte.

Here is the entire 2d script and I sent the entire master script in the last email.

Michele, is there a parameter script, still cant find where the value of KN is defined with a "*"

There is no parameter script. Could it have benn hidden in the code? Does "*" mean anything in GDL code?

Thanks for all your help and time looking at the code,
Michele
