  Hey all,

  I'm currently trying to put together a simple dialogue engine. Text is read in from an .ini file and written to the screen, which is fairly simple. But I also wanted to alter another text object that would change its string to the name of the current speaker and colour that text appropriately. So I added a "tag" to each line which could be read to get those values and then discarded. Like this (in the .ini):

  0=<bob>Hello world, from Bob!
  1=<sue>Hello again, from Sue![/code:bl5lnuti]
  
  After reading a line from the ini, I load that line into a variable and then use the [i]find [/i] expression to locate these tags. After changing the colour and speaker on the second text object, I use [i]remove[/i] to take away those tags and print to the main text object.
  
  This doesn't seem to exactly work! It looks like it is at first, but the character name is not consistently changed (try adding some more lines in the .ini, if you want). So I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding how the find expression works or what. The tags seem to be removed correctly though. (It would also be nice to get the lines from the .ini to load immediately, so there's no need for the default "Text" string that appears when the cap first starts.)
  
  What I have so far (.cap and .ini) can be downloaded [url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/557718/findremove.zip]here.[/url]
  
  Thanks in advance!

  Hi,

  I've been playing around with Construct for the past few days and it's been a blast so far, but as a composer I have a semi-major concern. Whenever I use the MOD object, it plays back whatever file I load distorted like so:

  ...When it should sound like this:

  http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/557718/sotbfine.ogg

  Every mod I've tried, .MOD, .S3M, .XM, and .IT, produces this distortion to varying degrees. Additionally, there seems to be no way to set them to loop. I searched both the forums and the bug tracker, but there seems to be no-one else experiencing this issue -- is it just me?

  I could convert to .OGG or whatever, but I'd lose the loop points in the original mod, and the thought of a conversion from a 50kb file to a 2mb one is kinda depressing considering I use chiptunes partially to keep file sizes down!
