This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.
Overview
A simple, light-weight system to create a pretty text for an RPG that softly fades in as it is being written, similar to the quest texts in World of Warcraft when Instant Quest Text is disabled. Can also be used for dialog or exposition text, of course.
You can define text windows attached to any parent frame, so if you have a quest or dialog menu, you can use WoW-Like Quest Text to write text into their text fields.
Can make JASS version on request.
Installation
Copy the QuestText script and its requirements into your map. These are:

Installation
Copy the QuestText script and its requirements into your map. These are:
- Total Initialization
- Frame Recycler
- ALICE (you can use the heavily downsized version MINACE)
Getting Started
Create a text window with
QuestText.CreateWindow as laid out in the API section. If you don't know what to use a the parent frame, use BlzGetOriginFrame(ORIGIN_FRAME_WORLD_FRAME, 0). Save the window to a variable. Then do QuestText.New to write a text into that window.Contents

Why it have JASS and GUI tags while it only uses Lua? Do you miss JASS??? Heresy!!!

Major update:
- Integrated Frame Recycler so that the unsafe BlzDestroyFrame function isn't used.
- You now define text windows and write the text into those windows. If you have your own UI system. you can use one of the frames as the parent and the quest text will be written into the parent's text field, be hidden when the parent is hidden etc. Each window can hold up to one text. The texts can be displayed asynchronously.
- Integrated ALICE / MINACE so that all functions can easily be called asynchronously.

Updated to Version 2.1
- Fixed scaling and kerning issues when setting the font size to large values.
- Added the optional kerning parameter for text windows.
- The entire text is now allocated on creation. This allows the QuestText.New function to return the required height of the text window.
