Title: (Q) Hystory.dat customization
Post by: ryuuji on March 13, 2016, 05:30:19 AM

Is it possible to modify the layout of the hystory.dat in such way that

1. determine a certain are where the text can be displayed (smaller area than the current one)
2. add a custom background that does not cover everything ( just a certain area) so the rest remains visible
2. add artwork image to be displayed together with the text ( box art for example )

Change the row number in plugin settings to change font size.

As for the font style, manually add...

Code: [Select]

m_text.font="FONT_NAME" to plugins\history.dat\plugin.nut

Where FONT_NAME is the name of the font you want to use.

e.g.

Code: [Select]

m_text.font="Arial";
