i never play around with the windows functions as most of my game uses a custom interface unless im lazy, so I really never use these functions.

I've done it before, but no idea anymore. I just want a window that will have my patch note text.

Thank you for the help!

You can use browse() to generate a generic browser window, or you can make a browser window in your interface and use output() to output text to that.

Or you can go real simple and use alert().

now how do you use browse probally. When im doing a big line of text i need to do \ after every line. Any way i can avoid that?

There are examples in deadrons character handling and there is another library called htmllib.

I use browse for my login system to display pretty html/css configured graphics for the menus. :)

You can use { and } to encase your text, which allows you to use multiple lines (and unescaped quotation marks!)

src << browse({"<html>
<body>
Hello "[src.name]", welcome to the world!<br>
Hope you enjoy your stay!
</body>
</html>"},"window=generic_browser;size=640x480")
