The NESMaker Text Tool is a simple tool that makes editing & creating NPC text files for your NES games.
Simply open up your current Nesmaker NPC text file (usually found in ) and copy/paste the files contents into the editor. The app will automatically convert the text into our own format so you can edit with ease. You can also code text from scratch by using the simple commands below.
The "Readable Text" box will display all your NPC/Game text as it will be seen on screen. It also indicates how many characters are used per line so you dont go over the 28 character limit.
The "Output File" box displays your newscript ready to paste back into your NesMaker NPC file.
Text Names should be written in plain text with no spaces and must end with a colon as shown below.
example:- TextName01:
When starting a new line of text type the [^] command.
To use the More Text command type the [>] command. This is used when you require a user interaction to continue reading the text.
The [>] command can be typed at the end of any text or after the [^] command.
To end the conversation or current text type the [!] command.
The [!] command can be typed at the end of any text or after the [^] command.
Below are some examples of how your code should look:
TextExample01:
[^]This is our first line
[^]This is line 2
[^]User click A button [>]
[^]You pressed A [!]
TextExample02:
[^]This is our first line
[^]This is line 2
[^][>]
[^]You pressed A
[^][!]
