Text file limit

[LittleFreak]

Your worst nightmare has become true: I have decided to make a JCS work again. *waits for all people to run around and scream*

I decided to make it heavily story based, the problem is the text limit with JCS. I only did the conversation between Jazz and a plant and already used 7 lines out of 16. Does anybody know a way how to make a well in-game story with that limit? I don't mean a bug with JCS so you can write more or something, I think you know what I mean. Thanks for your help.

:lol:
That's what I expected. :D

Tell as much story as possible just using the level. If you don't need Jazz to say "This is the nuclear reactor", don't make him say it. Sixteen is enough for many levels.

[LittleFreak]

Well. I decided the make the start conversion with the plant (which already costs 6 lines) an intro level or something like that. But thanks anyways. :)

If it's an intro level, you can make a tileset with written text in it. Stuff like that doesn't require some great tileset skills.

If I recall correctly, you can make text strings as long as you like and they can have more than just one line each. Just be sure to use @ (the line breaking character)

@ JSZ: That'd also be possible, but I already finished it as an intro level with text events. Thanks anyways.

@Jelze: After a certain amount of characters (I don't exactly know how much) the text breaks up. You can try it with making about 8 lines full of text and save & run.

I will cheer you up PHT2.

GL with your episode!

[Ðx]

PHT cant wait for it ^^

[LittleFreak]

@ Olsen: Thanks. However, the 2 is not needed, I just was to lazy to try the "forgot password email stuff thing" method so I made a new account. :)

@ Dx: Thanks too. :D I might even finish it this time.

Jazz and a plant? O.o

[Olsen]

You must finish it.

[LittleFreak]

Jazz and a plant? O.o

Well, the plant was in the tileset, and because I'm planning to make a really crazy episode I decided to make it a character which tells you some weird stuff which doesn't really make sense (including jokes about Trafton and Cooba! 8D ).

I've already choosen a name, it will be called "Weird Story".

Thanks for all the cheers. :-)

Trafton jokes are outdated.

[DoubleGJ]

You can't make jokes of Cooba because I am making jokes of Cooba.

[LittleFreak]

Trafton jokes are outdated.

Why that? It isn't really a joke about Trafton or you, I just like to add some real humans into level design. It's also not there to make you angry.

@ JSZ: Hmm.. that's a problem. ;-)

[cooba]

JaZz: Hmm.. that's a problem. ;)Don't worry, his jokes will appear far after yours will. *cough*Episode 4 ;p

[LittleFreak]

episode 4? I did not even see the first one released :eek: (or was it?)

[cooba]

You even don't know episode 4 of what, but you manage to ask?

[LittleFreak]

Err.. Devil Dash? (if not correct me please ;) )

[DoubleGJ]

Right. And I know something Cobba doesn't know and he WILL NOT KNOW (don't bother spamming me on MSN Coob).
