Probably something stupid I missed, but text is not showing up in my game using the SimplePlatformer Module when talking to an NPC. The box shows up but the text isn't written. The HUD is in place, the palette is set, the text/text group is assigned, so I'm not sure?
I'm just using the standard text script as well.
I also commented out stuff in HandleScreenLoads when removing the HUD if that could potentially be the issue? What I removed was (for me) around line 492-571, so if any of this deals with text feel free to blame me for this issue. Everything LOOKS like it just deals with the HUD but maybe I did something incorrectly.
I'm just using the standard text script as well.
Code:
LDA textboxHandler
AND #%00010000 ;; if the b button is pressed
;; but the box + text have been activated
;; and also the 'do box' bit is OFF
;; that means this is ready to "go away".
BEQ checkToTurnTheTextboxOn ;; hasn't started yet
;; begin turning the textbox off.
LDA gameHandler
ORA #%00100000

;;; are we turning this on or off?
;;; check for more
;;; check for 'choice'.
