I created a very simple text formatting function which will allow you to change a texts color, font and size all in one line. How useful do you guys think this is?

TextFormatting(150,0,0,"Bard",20) : Text 300,10,"Text Formatting"

Function TextFormatting(r,g,b,fontstyle$,textsize)
Ink Rgb(r,g,b),0
Set Text Font fontstyle$
Set Text Size textsize
EndFunction

LordDario,

It can be useful. Depends on if the program requires a great deal of text formatting throughout it.

It will definantly save him from having to type as many characters.

Lord Dario,

Have a look at my plugin

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=52852&b=18

The text commands are much faster than those supplied with DBP.

Won't save the typing but will improve the fps.

Cheers,

Cloggy
