A message is text positioned on the bottom of the screen. The default text color of the message is white, which uses the [[GXT#Tokens|token]] <code>~h~</code> in the GXT file. For Vice City and San Andreas, enabling [[02A3|widescreen]] repositions the message so that it appears centered and inside the black bars. This type of text is used extensively during [[cutscene]]s where messages can be hidden if the subtitles option is switched off. In the "Brief" section of the pause menu, the last few uniquely printed messages are added and can be viewed. If the message already appears there, it will not be readded to the section.
 +
 +
The game can queue up to eight messages if there are multiple calls to print messages before the game finishes displaying them. The game displays the first message in the queue for the set duration. All messages in the queue are moved up after it is done. In a full queue, any additional messages are lost. For a call to print a normal message, the game places the message after the last message in the queue. For a call to print a now message, the game places the message in the first position of the queue, overwriting any message there. For a call to print a soon message, the game places the message in the second position of the queue and moves any message and subsequent messages down the queue. If the queue is empty, the game places it in the first position of the queue instead.

 +
 
 +
A big message is a large styled text generally positioned on the center or bottom right side of the screen depending on the style of message. A big message can prioritize its display over other big messages of the same style. A high-priority big message immediately overwrites any other big messages of the same style currently being displayed. Any low-priority big messages will queue up until the one being currently displayed is finished. Big messages of styles 1 and 2 behave differently &mdash; their fading sequence must end before the overwriting text is displayed. They still obey the time duration so if the time duration for the overwriting text ends before it is displayed, it will not display at all.

This page documents text displayed on the screen. For the text format stored in the games, see GXT.

Message

VC Message.png
A message displayed in Vice City.
VC Message widescreen.png
The same message but with widescreen switched on.

A message is text positioned on the bottom of the screen. The default text color of the message is white, which uses the token ~h~ in the GXT file. For Vice City and San Andreas, enabling widescreen repositions the message so that it appears centered and inside the black bars. This type of text is used extensively during cutscenes where messages can be hidden if the subtitles option is switched off. In the "Brief" section of the pause menu, the last few uniquely printed messages are added and can be viewed. If the message already appears there, it will not be readded to the section.

The game can queue up to eight messages if there are multiple calls to print messages before the game finishes displaying them. The game displays the first message in the queue for the set duration. All messages in the queue are moved up after it is done. In a full queue, any additional messages are lost. For a call to print a normal message, the game places the message after the last message in the queue. For a call to print a now message, the game places the message in the first position of the queue, overwriting any message there. For a call to print a soon message, the game places the message in the second position of the queue and moves any message and subsequent messages down the queue. If the queue is empty, the game places it in the first position of the queue instead.

Big message

One style of a big message displayed in Vice City.

A big message is a large styled text generally positioned on the center or bottom right side of the screen depending on the style of message. A big message can prioritize its display over other big messages of the same style. A high-priority big message immediately overwrites any other big messages of the same style currently being displayed. Any low-priority big messages will queue up until the one being currently displayed is finished. Big messages of styles 1 and 2 behave differently — their fading sequence must end before the overwriting text is displayed. They still obey the time duration so if the time duration for the overwriting text ends before it is displayed, it will not display at all.

Intro text

An intro text is created through the script and allows a large number of customizations to it. This type of text was initially used in GTA III's introduction sequence, hence the name, but subsequent games have used this type of text in various places. The following table lists all opcodes related to displaying this type of text.
