Uhm. Is it possible to make a system. That instead of using the DM inputs, You can type and the text apears on screen. I am trying to make a game without any of the normal pop up inputs. And so far so good, I have made a Yes or No question on screen and a normal NPC talking. Even my shop system. But could sombody give me a push in the right direction on the Text Input?

Well, it's possible, it just depends upon how much effort you are willing to put forth, and how much cruddiness you are willing to accept. Try looking up keyboard macros. You can acheive a similar effect by setting up keyboard macros --it's more work than it's worth, though.

I'd suggest doing something along the lines of setting up a special npctalk verb that is set to default on the client.command_text, so taht the player can just plain type and then hit enter. You will be able to achieve a similar effect without a popup, though I assume in your eyes, it's not what you were looking for.

In response to Ter13
I could make it in the command line. But that would be much less flashy. Though. I am actualy putting alot of effort towards what I am doing. And I am on a break from school right now so have alot of time.
