MapText Library

A summary for MapText
A BYONDscape Classic!

[Shadowdarke later developed an even more powerful cousin to this library, which you'll see in time, or you could look it up; it's mentioned on the library's Hub entry.

Interestingly enough, our first new Dream Makers library is also map-related and also by Shadowdarke... keep an eye out for it!]


BYONDscape's first library, and it's a good 'un! This little number will display text messages and speech balloons right in the map window, and it'll clean them up when you don't need them anymore.

#1 Dark Umbreon:  

Yes, it is infact an amazing library that Shadowdarke did. I still don't understand it fully but oh well. Maybe someday as I get better at coding(No, I didn't copy and paste it in any purpose...)

I also enjoyed studying his ProccessHTML library he did as well.
