Needs the VR Logic Library to properly operate.

In a nutshell this library allows you to create custom messages, decisions and action cards. Some key ingredients to give your scenario's some flair!

These two tables work together and allow you some level of dynamics to create your messages and decisions.

Col 0: ID

Col 1: Title of message

Col 2: (Optional) Font name (like georgia.ttf, must be present in fonts/ directory; if left blank custom font arial.ttf is used)

Col 3: IF Logic (for example [turn]=0 for first regime and [turn]=1 for second regime or for a message on round 4 for second regime [round]=4@[turn]=1)

Col 4: (Optional) SET Logic (you might want to change a flag back again to 0 so a message does not keep showing up)

Col 5: (Optional) Show Mode: 0 = In REPS tab only, 1 = On startup Only, 2 = On startup and in REPS tab, 3 = As a popup (only use for feedback for custom action card play)

Now to get some actual text and imagery in your messages.

Col 0: Message ID (must correspond to the Base Message Table)

Col 1: (Optional) IF Logic

Col 2: (Optional)X (offset x in pixels; if left blank or 0 will be posted aligned to left)

Col 3: (Optional)Y (offset y in pixels; if left blank or 0 will be posted under the last part of content of this message, or if it is the first part at the top)

Col 3: (optional) Event picture

Col 4: (Optional) Text (if event picture specified then text will NOT be rendered)

You are advised to add multiple decisions to a message if you want to use them. Since only 1 choice will make the decision not very interesting.

Col 0: Message ID (must correspond to the Base Message Table)

Col 1: (Optional) IF Logic

Col 2: Decision Text

Col 3: Decision Detail (2nd line of smaller text)

Col 4: PP cost

Col 5: SET logic (if this decision is chosen by the player)
