Hi,
13 Nov 2006 (Release 19) - needs 1.1.00 preview
===========
Some graphic support in this version.
http://tab.thinbasic.com
*NEW Ability to show bitmap images in games.
2 graphic slots for .bmp size 280 x 220 pixels.
Location pics use filename eg: loc1.bmp
Object pics use filename eg: obj4.bmp
Character pics use filename eg: char5.bmp
Display mode 2 (on Game Settings Editor) invokes
graphic display in TABPlayer.
New Actions:
pic1box$filename$ eg: pic1boxMyPic.bmp (show image in picbox1)
pic2box$filename$ eg: pic2boxMyPic.bmp (show image in picbox2)
showobjn1aspic1 - show object image in picbox1
showobjn1aspic2 - show object image in picbox2
showobjn2aspic1
showobjn2aspic2
showcharn1aspic1 - show character image in picbox1
showcharn1aspic2 - show character image in picbox2
showcharn2aspic1
showcharn2aspic2
clearpic1 - clear picbox1
clearpic2 - clear picbox2
By default TAB will automatically show any location image for the
adventure starting room into picbox 1 at the beginning of the game.
By default TAB will automatically show any location image for each room
visited in picbox 1 (if it exists and has correct filename as above)
By default TAB will automatically load any image named "logopic.bmp"
into picbox 2 at the beginning of game.
Pics of objects/characters could also be shown using above actions
eg: below Response entries will show pics for ALL characters/objects if
"look at <character>" or "look at <object>" typed by player:
[start]look at %charn2%#charpresentn2[acts]cmessYou look at %charname2%.#
showcharn2aspic1[end]
[start]look at %objn2%#objlocn2=here[acts]cmessYou look at the %objn2%.#
showobjn2aspic1[end]
2 New textboxes added to Game Settings Editor to set the
Sourcepath graphics and sound directory names for each game database.
(if necessary)
TABPlayer now auto detects and self-adjusts to loaded gamefile
for correct display mode 1 or 2. (text only or text/graphic)
*Incorrect or mis-spelt ACTIONS now reported by TABPlayer as error.
*Some bugfix
