[__fred__40]

Hey I'm having some problem to download some component needed to open A-Text,so I was wondering if there is any other good enough text editor that I could use
Do you know any?

I've never used A-text but have it as part of Leon and Ultima's fire red patch download (I have the same problem, by the way). In any case, from what I can gather, it essentially makes scripting easier but can be quite buggy where it repoints. Why not simply script it yourself? It's really not time-consuming at all if you copy from your templates and you're sure it won't repoint in some game-breaking place.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, though and you're trying to edit fonts.

because it's an already compiled script and its long more than 1000 lines.And and rewriting all the offsets,etc. takes a lot of time

It is pretty easy to change texts without rewriting code. You can actually just delete the text strings and write yours, If the new text is longer than the original you can use dynamic offsets to change just the msgbox, None of the previous actions involve changing parts of the code. just text strings.

And please. Never use A-text. Tool is outdated and pretty buggy. romhacks back in the day had several bugs because of this tool.
