========================================= Texts Documentation ========================================= Scriptdev2 Revision 695 introduces a new format for using texts in EventAI and SD2 Scripts. This information relates to the three *_texts tables located in the ScriptDev Database. Any script can at any time access and use text from any of the three text tables, as long as the entry does in fact exist. Custom scripters are adviced to store their text data in custom_texts. The three different tables has ranges of entries allowed for that table. eventai_texts: entry -1 -> -999999 script_texts: entry -1000000 -> -1999999 custom_texts: entry -2000000 -> -2999999 Any entry out of range for that table will display a startup error. ========================================= Basic Structure of eventai_texts, script_texts and custom_texts ========================================= Below is a the list of current fields within the texts tables.
