This tutorial shows how to create a popup window that appears in the game The Sum to display a message.

This tutorial explains how to display a yellow message window like this one.

Required tools

Create a popup message window

Access the .txt file of the location

Each location has its dialogue file (with an eponymous code name) already imported. It is in Game/NousAurons/locale/ (French version) and Game/core/locale/ (English version). Some of these files are in a folder of the same name to allow to store voices.

Write the message

  1. Open the two files place_code_name_where_the_message_appears.txt and for each of them:
    1. Press
       ctrl 
      +
       f 
      and search for "// INFORMATIONS"
    2. Copy/paste the following code: 
      AJOUT_Message_Arrivee = {<Jc><img:gui/images/Trouver.zar>>}}You found a beautiful pair of shoes! It was anything but planned! You know someone who will be happy to hear that...<C->}

      Bulb.png  In place of "Trouver.zar" in the message code, you can replace that filename with any .zar image found in the Game/core/gui/image/ folder. If you are unable to view them, install the Red!Viewer program. 


  2. Go to the
     File 
    menu and then
     Save 
    .
