09/22/2022, 7:50 AMbut its not 100% ready yet, i mean, the system works perfectly... its making it integrate nicely that i need to think about - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:50 AMit works well but it's not discoverable - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:50 AMwhich isn't a problem as long as there's people to ask for help - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:50 AMwell, id like it to be automated - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:51 AMbut the main issue is that it needs to pull in a ref to every component to build a full set of schemas (not just the components you have used) - f

09/22/2022, 7:51 AMI'm wondering if with haxe-ui having gifs now I could just do the whole visual novel engine ui in haxui - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:51 AMwhich means it has to be run separate to your main build - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:51 AMbut I'll probably run into textfield issues again - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:52 AMtextfield issues on what backend? - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:52 AMuhhh all of them - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:52 AMand by that I mean flixel and openfl - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:52 AMregardless of haxeui - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:52 AMit just doesn't know where the characters are so the metrics are wrong - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:53 AMI'm working on porting lime 8 to switch so hopefully a newer openfl will fix this somewhat - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:53 AM... thats hardly "all of them" 😄 But yeah, openfl textfield (which haxeui-flixel uses) still has some issues... that said, i would say its probably the best (feature wise) one - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:53 AMthere was more metrics available in the straight openfl one - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:53 AMah, yeah, you are stuck on some ancient openfl, right? - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:53 AMlike you can get the line splits and the length of each line - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:54 AMwhereas in flixel and starling it just gives you the bounding box of the whole textfield which doesn't help - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:54 AMhaxeui-flixel textfield is an openfl textfield - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:54 AMoh, i see what you mean, openfl vs flixel vs starling - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:54 AMmaybe in the implementation deep down, but it doesn't let you get at them properties - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:54 AMyeah, i understand what you mean now - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:54 AMat the framework (openfl, flixel, starling) level - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:55 AMI need to be able to place the "press A to continue" sprite at the end of the last line - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:56 AMcant you just place it in the bottom right of the textfield itself? - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:56 AMnah I can't change the design of the game. - b
bright-gpu-74537
09/22/2022, 7:56 AMah, i see, this is already existing, so what is it implemented in now? - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:56 AMproprietary game engine with proprietary scripting language, none of which supports unicode - f
future-iron-61487
09/22/2022, 7:57 AMwhole game has to be rewritten for the international release
