Tip 1: Make your new boxes default to "Auto" by editing box 0
Tip 2: If you want to change all your existing boxes, use the export feature, then use the text replace feature in any text editor that supports "Regular Expression" searches, and replace "Size: [0-9]+" with "Size: auto" |

James
how is it done?
I don't know what you did with the old James but I guess you can hold onto him for awhile longer

It also looks like this fixes the shrinking problem where the border was always shrunken just one pixel too far.
Fantastic. |

I'm starting to wish I hadn't already implemented 4000 text boxes.
Well...time to format Box #1.

Hold on. What if I add some keys to copy/paste box styles?
EDIT: Hold on. What if I just did? >:)

Everything's just so...cool, I can't...
I can't contain this...
Text import/export, borders, portraits--
Now autosize...
I shutter to think what might happen if a gamer could choose whether he plays a game with solid or transparent text boxes some day as he's playing it...
Must not...hold breath...
Or James might be tempted to pull another rabbit out of a hat...
Resist, resist...
No, please don't add extra conditionals to textboxes--
Or branching text trees--
Or scrolling text--
Or anything that might prevent me from leaving the land of text boxes ever again.
Please...please...don't...
Unless, of course, you insist.

I'd just set every box to auto, to be honest. This saves a TON of time.

Just got the latest nightly and I'm diging the new features; however, regarding Text Box positions...
Before the newest features were added, pressing 'left' to change the position of a textbox at position '0' resulted in it automatically sending the bottom of text box to the bottom of the screen (With a little bit of the bottom border cut off...).
However, doing the same on the nightlies, the top of the textbox is positioned at the bottom of the screen, making for a tedious task of shifting manually text boxes. |

That change was intentional. Sorry it causes inconvenience. The addition of auto-sizing text boxes meant I had to re-write the code that sets the max limit for vertical offset, and when I was doing that, I realized "why should we forbid people from making text boxes that are partway off the screen?"
But maybe I can put in a shortcut key or something to align with the bottom... hmmm... *thinks* |
