@Chirstie

1) The Typewriter Blips
All you need to do is to change the ticking sound of the message box to the typewriter sound:

setmsgboxtickersound("sfx-typwriter.wav");

2) Making the Text Green
There are two ways to do that. The first one, available since PWLib 1.0 is by changing the base color of the message box text:

setmsgboxtextcolor(255,0,247,0);

The values are (A,R,G,B). The color will stay that until another color is defined. To returns to white:

setmsgboxtextcolor(255,240,240,240);

The other colors:

setmsgboxtextcolor(255,107,198,247); //blue
setmsgboxtextcolor(255,247,115,57); //orange

You can define your own colors. I think I added functions that run those commands (making it simpler to change base colors):

pw_whitemessagebox
pw_bluemessagebox
pw_greenmessagebox
pw_orangemessagebox

The other way is to use color tags on the text:

$c{colorname}

The colorname is a color variable. PWLib when initialized, defines the 4 basic pw colors:

colorpworange
colorpwblue
colorpwgreen
colorpwwhite

The color tags will color the text ahead of them until another color tag appears. The color tags are only valid for the current message. It doesn't change the base color, and allows multiple colors per message (like on AA).

3) The Custom Message Box Name Tag
There is a way to use the name boxes as text, but it isn't fully worked out (size, due to font issue).
The best way is to use the classic way (with name box images) for now.

You got WinAMP? That might help. It never said no to file that isn't proper in the computer. (Or has an irregular symbol that the computer won't recognise)

The variation only goes a second. The rest is the same as the normal one, since the one I was editing was actually a mix of variation and non-variation.

EDIT: Cross-Examination, hard rock coming soon.

EDIT2: Bam. I should explain this one. If you only want the normal part, just loop the first part. If you want to include the Turnabout Sisters part, loop the first part twice and then the second part once, with PWLib's playlist thingy.

Wow, thanks for both! They ended up excellently!

As for looping the Pursuit - Caught Hard Rock Looping with the Turnabout Sisters Part, you could use it right now without the playlist system, like this:

Code:

loadandplaymp3("music\GS3 Pursuit - Caught Hard Rock.mp3",1,"O");
loadandplaymp3("music\GS3 Pursuit - Caught Hard Rock.mp3",1,"O");
loadandplaymp3("music\GS3 Pursuit - Caught Hard Rock (Turnabout Sisters).mp3",1,"O");

Since all that is long enough, you probably don't need to loop the whole set. If you do, you can put all that into a script (say, "playgs3hardrockwithts"), you can call it, then wait for the duration of all three parts (132 seconds, so "wait(13200);", i think), then call it again, and so.

There is an example of it on the examples folder (casesel.hlsl).

The files must be named as:
caseX.png for the Case Buttons (the ones with the case name, must be created on Photoshop or any other program)
caseXbg.png for the case backgrounds
episodeX.png for the "Episode X".

The case selection example defines a path where the data is (the episode folder), so the image files were placed on that folder.

News
- (AIGE) Fixed a bug with fade effects (using time as 0 would cause the effect to not run at all, as if it wasn't there). The bug was noticed when playing Trials of Life.
- (AIGE) Rewored a bit of the wipe effect. Some other effects might get reworked to fix specific problems and make them run correctly. No command parameter changes will be added.
- (AIGE) Fixed bug on the object system.

-----------------------
About the new FPS calculation system:
- AIGE won't go on a "speed spree" for some moments after the window is given focus again or an object loads a texture in most cases.
- Smoother effects

---------------------
A very great progress has been made on the secret new feature. I hope to put some info and shots of it very soon.

Finally, time to reveal the secret PWLib feature:

Many people asked about "why not PWLib have an updater?". Wel, now PWLib 1.2 will be armed with an updater:

The updater is in pre-beta stages, and might be interface-done soon (it works as is).

And since the mystery is over, here is a full list of features added that were hidden due to the top secret nature of the Updater:

- (AIGE) Added a download service, allowing to download data from the web directly inside AIGE.
- (AIGE) Added a decompression service, allowing to decompress rar files directly inside aige (+test)
- (AIGE) Added a function that converts frm byte to the correct size in KB, MB, GB directly (returns a string)
- (PWLib Libraries) Added download helper library (for lists)
- (PWLib Libraries) Added decompression helper library (for lists)
- (PWLib Libraries) Added update helper library (to help developing simple update verifications)
- (PWLib) Integrated updater to PWLib loading, but the developer/user will be able to disable it

About PWLib Auto-Updater (not final list)
- 100% pure AHLSL code
- Smart Updates (smaller updates, less time to get new fixes)
- Update Protection (downloaded data is verified upon download before the update progress begins)
- Multi-Server (you can define up to 5 servers, more if needed, per update)
- Independent Updates (each update can have its own server)
- Full Version Detection (detects if the version is higher, smaller or equal, showing appropriate message)

Excellent! I had been wondering what new feature you had in the works. It did seem to me that PWLib would benefit from an updater. Well done, KSA.

News & Info

The beta test is now closer to start, since the last required feature is almost done (the updater). Here is the list of stuff I need to work on for the beta to begin (as far as I remember):

- Finish updater (add some progress information on updating screens, etc)
- Redo part of the evidence add effect (to make it use the correct new text align methods, as well movetowards instead of slide effect)
- Quickplay all pwlib games seeking for obvious locks and bugs, and fix them

Unicode is only available on the Accelerated Text Render, and I fixed the bad render quality (my notebook had the issue, and it was fixed). I'll know if some more issues are present as I begin testing.

----------------------------------------
News
- (AIGE) Added float value to time format conversion format (seconds to text hour hour::mim::sec format)
- (AIGE) Fixed 1 pixel col and row error on Animation Builder
- (PWLib) Made the PWLib Updater external to PWLib core (easier to maintain/update)
- (PWLib) Extensions GFX will now have its GFX under PW/extensions/<extensioname>/ instead of PW/<extensionname>/

There are some stuff under work.

How things are going for PWLib 1.2

I just fixed a problem with float reading on AHLSL Script Load, so I can resume working on the Evidence Add Effect.

What is required for 1.2 beta to begin:
- Finish the Updater (add progress to the testing and the unpacking, and some other stuff) << almost forgot this one
- Fix Evidence Add Effect
- Do a small gfx correction on Perceive (the last closing eyes effect when the text ends)
- Do a full play on the 2 PWLib Games (looking for locking issues)
- Give a full test on all newer features (I tested the Dynamic P-Locks)
- Update code adding some extra commands (char fader, etc)
- Create Small Test Game (not the Mio game, a more random game demoing the features for people to test)

For 1.2 Final:
- The Mio Case (Turnabout Eyepatch)
- PWLib Unleashed
- Beta Test

---------
Things I have to do:
- Redo the website

Ideas I have in mind:
- Turn AJ features on an Extension (something like Apollo Extension).

An AJ extension would be useful, methinks.

It could be the Minuki Extension (most probably know that Minuki = Trucy in Japanese)
So the main library would be the Mayoi (Maya) library/extension :P

The Extension System is a PWLib thing (yes, fully developed in AHLSL), so PWLib would still be PWLib.

The AJ Extension idea would be mostly cosmetic, but as well would keep aj stuff variables/functions external to the pwlib main core (making aj stuff easier to configure, having instead of the classic pw_ having minuki_ or apollo_, in the same sense the GK stuff, the Mikumo Extension, has kenji_).

As the beta is growing closer, I'm starting to make the support functions (things that simplify certain tasks, like fading a character, etc). So if you have a request or idea for a support function, post it that I'll add in case it is not already done.

It seems no one have any suggestion for support commands (yet).

News
- (PWLib) Modified the Loader sequence.
- (PWLib) Psyche Lock is now an extension to PWLib (functions have the magatama_ mark). The Extension has no name yet.
- (PWLib) Apollo Justice features (Perceive, 3D Examination, Forensics, Video Evidence) are now an extension to PWLib (functions with the apollo_ mark). Not all functions were converted fully yet (some still use the pw_ mark). The Extension might be named Minuki.

The Pros of using Extensions:
- Ability to simply disable an extension by renaming its main extension file (as extensions are autoloaded), making them truly optional.
- Own function and variable marks allow easy identification.
- Own environment (own folders) make it easier to develop and fix issues.
- Each extension has its own gfx loader, making it faster to find the extra textures it uses.
- Automated loading allows adding new features without editing PWLib core.
- Simplicity extending PWLib (no need to edit PWLib core to integrate).

Has a 'shake all screen' command been done?

Other than that, I have some ideas, but have to think more of it.
What about grey/red/negative color scalings, for objects and the whole screen?

Shake all screen is done.

The color shading is not done yet because I'm pondering about using AHLTL or real pixel shaders.

AHLTL (AIGE's Texture Language, similar to a Pixel Shader, but in software)
- Pros
> Works on any video card
> Simpler language (AHLTL is a sister language to AHLSL)
> No command number limitations (allowing more complex functions with same vcards)
- Cons
> Slow
> Requires reloading the texture to return to the original

Pixel Shaders
- Pros
> Fast (real time)
> Applied to an object instead to textures individually
> No need to regenerate used textures
- Cons
> Older video cards do not support pixel shaders (DX 7 and lower)
> More complex language (Microsoft HLSL or ASM)
> More complex functions mean larger version required (thus newer video cards)

You could add support for both. Or would that take too long and cause problems?

There is a small problem, since each mode works differently.

If you get a game that uses AHLTL, it will work on all pcs, but if you use AIGE's Pixel Shader support, some people will be left out of the game. Quite a tough decision.

Some news over PWLib and AIGE:
- (AIGE) AIGE's DirectX 9.0c Render will now log basic video card information (name, revision, driver version, pixel shader version, vertex shader version, etc) correctly.
- (PWLib) Added support commands for flash object size (top screen or both screens).

------------------------------------------
Things I plan to do:
- Change how fonts are handled (will make it easier to change fonts for objects). This won't take long (I may finish it by tomorrow)

-------------------------------------------
Changes:
- I'm revoking now pywright's permission to use PWLib's animations (that I gave a while ago). This means pywright won't be able to use pwlib's character animations natively and any support on it must be removed imediately. The reason is that I'm planning some enhancements for AIGE's SAS.

First get the PWLib Core 1.1, then the GFX 2.0.

The files are .rar, packed with WinRAR. You can get it from http://www.rarlab.com

Then once you get both the packages, you must depack both on the same folder (example: c:\pwlib). I recommend a folder on the desktop (easier access).

Then to get started, there is the PWLib In A Nutshell (the tutorial book for pwlib):http://www.ksatechnologyhq.com:1357/pwlib/PWLib_in_a_Nutshell.pdf (download it to your pc so you can read it quickly when you want).

They are text files, you can open them with any text editor program (recommend notepad++).

The 2 rars required are not separated in parts.

I already posted the "how to install". To develop with PWLib, you will need to read the PWLib In A Nutshell.

The error means one of two things: your script file has no game function or it isn't placed on the auto folder.

-------------------------------------------------------------
News
- (AIGE) Reworked the way AIGE deals with fonts. Now fonts must be created beforehand and assigned to the objects. The default font is Arial 12 (font name as "Arial12").
- (AIGE) Added createfont function. Fonts are created under a name (example: "TestFont" is the "Verdana" font with size 12).
- (AIGE) Reworked all font commands (now they will only get the fontname created with createfont).
- (PWLib) Updated all functions dealing with fonts. The loader was also changed. Fonts on PWLib are created before the updater runs. The file where fonts are defined on PWLib is pw_fonts.hlsl
