nanDECK - What's new in version 1.11a

New INPUTTEXT, INPUTCHOICE, INPUTLIST and INPUTNUMBER directives

These four directives are used to input values during the deck validation, to be used as labels. For example, if you add these lines:

INPUTTEXT=alpha,"input a text","default"
INPUTCHOICE=beta,"choose a text","one","one|two|three|four"
INPUTLIST=gamma,"choose a text","one","one|two|three|four"
INPUTNUMBER=delta,"choose a number",5,1,10

In the validation process you'll see this form:

The confirmed values will be saved in a .ini file, so they can be the default the next time the script will be validated.

Added parameter for transparency and mirroring in RTFTEXT and RTFFILE directives

You can use three flag in RTFTEXT/RTFFILE directives (9th parameter), for H)orizontal, V)ertical mirroring and T)ransparency, for example:

[rtf]="{\rtf normal text\par{\b bold text}\par{\i italic text}\par{\ul underline text}\par"
RTFTEXT=1,[rtf],0,0,6,9,#FF8000#FFFF80@90,0,H

This is the result:

Added parameter for Alpha-blending in RTFTEXT and RTFFILE directives

You can use a % for alpha-blending in RTFTEXT/RTFFILE directives (10th parameter), for example:

ELLIPSE=1,0,0,6,6,#000000
[rtf]="{\rtf normal text\par{\b bold text}\par{\i italic text}\par{\ul underline text}\par"
RTFTEXT=1,[rtf],0,0,6,9,#FF8000#FFFF80@90,0,H,70

This is the result:

Added parameter for dot/dash pattern in LINE directive

You can use a string in LINE directive (8th parameter), for D)ashes, dO)ts or S)paces, for example:

LINE=1,0.5,1,5.5,1,#000000,0.1,"DS"
LINE=1,0.5,2,5.5,2,#000000,0.1,"OS"
LINE=1,0.5,3,5.5,3,#000000,0.1,"OSDS"

Range pattern evaluation

With this syntax you can change a range sequence of cards, useful with COPYCARD directive, for example:

COPYCARD="10-18","3,2,1,6,5,4,9,8,7"
