Re: Text loading.

CreateInterfaceFn gameUIFactory = (CreateInterfaceFn)GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("gameui.dll"," CreateInterface");
m_pConsole = (IGameConsole*)gameUIFactory("GameConsole003", NULL);

m_pConsole->ColorPrintf(color3,"+++ Features:\n");

m_pConsole = IGameConsole

Have fun

cConLog::cConLog()
{
	AllocConsole();
	SetConsoleTitle("LIFE-STYLE Console Log");
	this->m_hConsoleHandle = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
	SetConsoleTextAttribute(this->m_hConsoleHandle,FOREGROUND_BLUE | FOREGROUND_GREEN | FOREGROUND_INTENSITY);
	COORD size; size.X = 500; size.Y = 200;
	SetConsoleScreenBufferSize(this->m_hConsoleHandle,size);

	this->Write(true," _     ___ _____ _____     ____ _______   ___     _____ ");
	this->Write(true,"| |   |_ _|  ___| ____|   / ___|_   _\\ \\ / / |   | ____|");
    this->Write(true,"| |    | || |_  |  _| ____\\___ \\ | |  \\ V /| |   |  _|  ");
	this->Write(true,"| |___ | ||  _| | |__|_____|__) || |   | | | |___| |___ ");
	this->Write(true,"|_____|___|_|   |_____|   |____/ |_|   |_| |_____|_____|\n");
	this->Write(true,"==>> LIFE-STYLE Console Log\n");
}

cConLog::~cConLog()
{
	FreeConsole();
}

void cConLog::Write(bool bFinishLine,const char *pszText,...)
{
	char szBuffer[256] = {'\0'};
	va_list vaParameters;
	va_start(vaParameters, pszText);
	vsprintf(szBuffer, pszText, vaParameters);
	va_end(vaParameters);

	if (bFinishLine)
		strcat(szBuffer,"\n");

	WriteConsole(this->m_hConsoleHandle,szBuffer,lstrlenA(szBuffer),0,0);
}

or you just use std::cout << "TEXT" << endl;
but if you are in a dll, you have to use the 1. one

Re: Text loading.

thanks but i know about cout :)

Again: I'm looking for a code..

That will open the console ( I know how to do)

And then in, for example, 10 secs. to fill in letter for letter -

it looks like someone is writing it. Letter for letter appears.

Re: Text loading.

do you make a hack and have all this interfaces loaded?
well then you could use

static int index = 0;
const char *text = "Hello";
static float oldtime = m_pGlobals->curtime;
if (oldtime + 1/*= 1 second*/ < m_pGlobals->curtime)
{
// Write your char here: text[index]
index++;
}

coded this in this reply field, so you shouldnt copy^^


else:
make a new thread and use sleep^^

Re: Text loading.

Well are you in a ingame DLL? Or do you mean in a console app?

console app version:

int main()
{
	srand( (unsigned int) time( NULL ) );

	const char* str = "omg it looks like i was typing this shit";

	for( int i = 0; i < strlen(str); i++ )
	{
		cout << str[i];

		Sleep( (DWORD)( rand() % 200 ) );
	}
}

Re: Text loading.

yea i mean that console app that black one..

that code looks ok. but i dont know actually if it works..
I tryed but it didn't worked.
I'm just a beginner in c++ and i can't find now what is wrong..

Re: Text loading.

Yeah thank you it works :D

Re: Text loading.

If you are a slow typer use Sleep( (DWORD)( rand() % 500 ) ); btw :P

Re: Text loading.

It's just for the "writting" effect. i tried with 375 or so.. it looks pretty good :)

Rofl, that's good.
