Get the code here and the font here. You can also get a font generator here.

Save the script as anything you want, but the font HAS to be saved as 'texter_basic.txt' (or you can modify the script itself; just replace every 'texter_basic.txt' you find with the other filename).

USAGE:

     Type in console (` key): drawText([text string], [position x], [position y])

     Or, press the 't' key and type the text to be plotted in the boxes; it will be drawn at the mouse coordinates.

Changelog:

To-do:

ADD:

[[Key-activation - drawing it at the cursor position when you press 't' key, for example.]] DONE

CHANGE:

     Nothing yet.

The command:

The GUI:

The font so far:

Currently 1071 lines long.

You're using my Lua mod! Yay!

Nice script. Long...

Thanks, although the length is mostly the font :)

And I tend to use every Lua mod I can find. (Yours was really good though)

Indeed, Byzod's texter is still better...but I aim for this one to at least be considered for its fonts. I'm actually working on a font generator that can be called with a button press to read from a TPT save, or from the console to read from a file using the LuaGD library, and even take a .TTF file and convert it to a Lua script usable by my texter.  --EDIT: Done with the generator!

And yes, bit compression would be a cool idea, I'll have to try that when I get back to my computer. Although, I suppose I could always use .luac files for the fonts instead of .txt.

Oops, wrong account. I was checking out some saves I made on an account I had a really long time ago :/

Yeah, it's not the best code. Thanks for your suggestions, I will do them.
