FURWARE text

Warning: This page is currently under construction. The script described here is currently in the course of being re-released as open source. Please bear with me while I convert my old documentation (and the product itself). Please do not edit this page yet. |
Overview
FURWARE text is a script for displaying text on prims using textures. It is intended to be integrated in your objects in which it will be controlled by your own scripts.
FURWARE text is not a ready-made display board but is intented for scripters who wish to integrate it in their own creations.
The script was proprietary from 2010 to July 2013 until I (Ochi Wolfe) have decided to make it open source under the MIT license. It is my first attempt to make a fully open sourced product in Second Life.
Features
- Open source (MIT license)
- Only one script for a whole group ("sets") of displays
- Formatting (color, alpha, alignment, wrapping, trimming, font, borders)
- Mesh prims with 1 to 8 chars, only occupying 0.5 prims each
- Virtual text boxes to position text arbitrarily
- Style templates for encapsulating multiple style settings
How to obtain the script
(To be released soon)
