AlieneilA Aker: /* Usage for more than two lines */

If you make contributions to this, please note that you should license them under the MIT license by putting a disclaimer at the top like Thraxis and I have done. Otherwise it is CC SA By and that's probably too restrictive for a tool that is intended to be this widely used.

== Tweak for Mono (1-30) ==

I have tested this script in Mono, and it silently failed in the function 'get_number_of_prims'. The while loop does not work in Mono. I have change it to a working version.

== Long page, poor intro, and um, it's slow ==

This page seems to be written for experts and it's not too helpful for newbies to the whole xytext concept.

I'm of the opinion that the following changes should occur:
* Split off the 5-character code to a subpage
* Split off the 10-character code to a subpage
* Rewrite this as a purely introductory page, with images documenting just what exactly is going on here for the "n00bs", and explain why it's being done.
* Have links to the subpages for the 5-char / 10-char code after the intro sections.

== Usage for more than two lines ==

The quick start explains that you can add more rows, but it doesn't tell you that you need to edit the usage code for each line. Here is the usage code I'm using for a 4 row with added comments... Released under MIT license

integer DISPLAY_STRING = 204000;
integer DISPLAY_EXTENDED = 204001;
integer REMAP_INDICES = 204002;
integer RESET_INDICES = 204003;
integer SET_FADE_OPTIONS = 204004;
integer SET_FONT_TEXTURE = 204005;
integer SET_LINE_COLOR = 204006;
integer SET_COLOR = 204007;
integer RESCAN_LINKSET = 204008;

integer gToggle;

default
{
state_entry()
{
llListen(0,"",NULL_KEY,"");

}

listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string message)
{
// If you add more than 4 rows, add additional else if statements and change the incremets accordingly.
if (gToggle == 0) {
++gToggle;
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"0");
}
else if (gToggle == 1) {
++gToggle;
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"1");
}
else if (gToggle == 2) {
++gToggle;
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"2");
}
else {
gToggle=!gToggle;
llMessageLinked(LINK_THIS,DISPLAY_STRING,name + ":"+ message,"3");
}

}
}
