I want to print text onto the face of a prim - ideally the script would read a notecard and print the text - is there any freebie scripts that do this? I would like, eventually, to have around 9 lines of text with about 30 characters on each.
Thanks

There are sign boards out there that do that, but I don't think there is a script that will let you randomly print text in a prim.. there are floating text scripts and such..
But if it does exist, I want it to! lol!

i think you will need a prim for each letter
or
make it connect to a webserver that takes input in the form of text and outputs a 'texture' that is then downloaded / uploaded to SL and put on the prim with your words on it

Search for "xytext" which permits two letters per prim.

From: Learjeff Innis Search for "xytext" which permits two letters per prim. Actually, there are several flavors of XyText. The original could display 3-characters per prim (the prim is squished in a way to get 3 faces on one side. An update to that script supported 6 characters per prim (two per face). But, it requires a lot of textures to load (the textures cover every possible combination of character pair). A new prim torture allowed 5 faces on one side of a prim. Therefore, XyText was updated to allow 5 characters per prim.. in my opinion, this is the most useful version. I believe someone has crammed the double-character textures onto the 5-face prim for a grand total of 10-characters per prim. But basically, unless you have a dynamic method to send data to your webserver, have your server-side script create an image, then use a bot to upload that image and get the UUID back to the original prim in SL... which would apply it to a face... there's no other way (yet) to "write" onto the face of a prim. |

Great post, DoteDote. I really meant "per prim face" above, and even then it would have been an oversimplification.
