[SOLVED] Icons/Images in the Middle of Messages/etc?

Post by watbesh »

Hello.

I'm rewriting some codes of my eras to make them play better. Now I'm looking a way to use images more freely in the [message] or [option] tags.

As far as I know, {MENU_IMG_TXT (icon) (text)} allows to put one icon (usually a unit's sprite) at the beginning of the message (often inside [option] tag), and it would be shown as "[icon] text". I want to show multiple icons in one line, like "[icon1] [icon2] [icon3] text" or even "[icon1] text [icon2] [icon3]" if possible. Coding like {MENU_IMG_TXT (icon1) {MENU_IMG_TXT (icon2) (text)}} doesn't seem to work.

Is there any possible way to use images more freely?
What am I using this for?:

I think you can use some codes in gtfgtf's "Pick Your Recruits, No Preparation Turn." Mod, it has a nice user interface.
It pronounces Sha'ha, not Zara.

Ah, thanks. I found it, and achieving my goal is now possible at all. This looks hard to code, but I'll try.

Actually I was thinking Xara's solution is beyond my capability (I don't know a thing about Lua). I''ll use this instead. Thank you much!
