Title: Mando Hint (ACCEPTED)
Post by: Mandoble on 13 Jun 2008, 23:37:14

May be used to show advanced hint boxes.

Allows you to provide a title, a text, a background color and, if needed, to intercept H key so that last message is repeated automatically when hitting H or toggled if already present.

Title and text strings are parsed and used as formated text, so you can play colors, images, line breaks, etc in the messages.

I have realised that this is slightly redundant, since all the functionality can be replicated by passing a structured text directly to the regular hint command. Using this native technique means that you don't have to break key handlers to get 'H' working and you don't have to use a cut/title resource overlay. Still, something to manage the structured text put into the standard hint might be useful...
