A powerful custom prompt system.
Version 1.31 · Date Added: 6/25/09

If you wish to download this library for your Linux/Mac installation, enter the following on your command line:

DreamDownload byond://Jeff8500.skinput##version=5

Emulator users, in the BYOND pager go to File | Open Location and enter this URL:

byond://Jeff8500.skinput##version=5

This allows you to prompt your users in a not-so-ugly way. It also allows you to create advanced prompts using a tiny script it has.

readme.txt and zdemo.dm tell/show you how to use the library in a vague manner. I will write up a guide to create your own prompts soon.

New features in version 1.3:

  • JPrompt_Master.Interpret and Prompt_template.interpret deprecated in favor of Prompt_template.Transform() and Prompt_template.information.

  • Number prompts work and are built in

  • Made demo less "distasteful", though it's still pretty distasteful.

  • Made the demo popup more towards the center. However, if you wish to position it exactly in the center in your game, that's up to you
