There is one chat wrapping tutorial. I've never used it. I think your trying something that is the same just under a different name.

i'll try, find it, only a word wrapping tut… but it shows me how to get 8 messages on chatbox instead of 8 lines, after doing the chat drawn to screen ''mod'' please help me find it

talk to justn, he has a pseudo chat bubble system made for EO, and it works quite nicely.

but you might want to use a different to draw then he uses XD

Sssh, it's a secret! >:D

Anyway, there's a really bad tutorial called visual in game messages, written by kibbelz. Just do a search for it :)

Simple. Make a word wrap function (GetWidth is a helpful function.), Render above the player, make a dynamic rect-based blting procedure, from a single graphic. Preferably small, but able to split, and piece together the graphic, add a GTC timer, call when needed.

i found the solution, there are just no bubbles… but WHO NEEDS 'EM? :)

You can get in CS:DE but need editing, but it's not easy
