Is there an easy way to make a background for text?
Id like a metallic texture to go behind text written with the spritetext command, it would have to resize automatically to match the size of the text sprite.
To make the metallic texture appear behind the text would I simply have to draw it first or do I have to set the z-order?
Is there a simple way of automatically scaling the metallic texture to match the size of any text sprite?
I could use the resizesprite command but then Id need a way of knowing the height and width of a certain sprite
I could do all of this the long way around by creating bitmaps for each window that will appear in the game but I just wondered if there is an easier solution.

After you set the text string in your textsprite the width and height can be found like this:
; load metal background sprite
metal.smSprite=LoadSprite(...)
; load sprite font set
txtsprite.smSprite=LoadFontSet(...)
; set message
SpriteText txtsprite,"Hello"+Chr$(10)+"World"
; set size of metal sprite to match text sprite
ResizeSprite metal,txtsprite\width,txtsprite\height
; postion both at the same location
PositionSprite metal,140,80
PositionSprite txtspritel,140,80
Note: Text sprites have a higher draw priority than 3d sprites by default so should appear in front.

Hi,
I am trying to create a tool which takes a bunch of images and scales them if needed and packs them into one big image. This is just the first step. After that we do some prcessing on the packed image to generated .cpp files. Is there a command line interface for the image packer so I can use it as a part of my tool to create the packed image. The image packer is exactly what we need and the description file generated is used in further processing.
Thanks a lot
