Capable of displaying over 1500 different symbols (Included the complete extended latin unicode alphabet and symbols) with plans to extend capacity. This is achieved by using just 6 textures, with each texture accommodating 256 symbols. This also enables it to use a single texture for all ascii characters, essentially eliminating the issue of blurry letters.
Overview:
---------
This script is designed to format and display text on a Second Life object, using different textures for characters based on their ASCII values. It provides a simple interface for the object owner to input text, which is then formatted to fit a predefined width and displayed across the object's faces.
The script is provided with an object to display text with. The text comes on a transparent background to make sure it can be used on any surface.
How It Works:
-------------
- The script listens for touch events on the object.
- Upon touching, the owner is prompted to input text through a dialog box.
- The input text is then formatted to ensure it adheres to a specific character width per line.
- The formatted text is mapped onto the object's surfaces using predefined character sets based on ASCII ranges..
Comments in the script provide detailed explanations of each block of code, the logic behind their operations, and their contribution to the overall functionality. This is aimed at making the script accessible and understandable to new developers or anyone looking to adapt or extend its capabilities.
Usage Instructions:
-------------------
1. Touch the object to initiate the text input process.
2. Enter your desired text in the dialog box that appears.
3. The script will format and display the text on the object.
4. Adding new character sets is relatively simple with some understanding of LSL and ability to set up characters in a 16x16 grid on a 1024px png.
5. It could be wise to use this object as a 'soft link' in your builds unless you are confident you know what you are doing with LSL.
