Here it is folks, something that I've been doing the entire time after doranikofu brought it up. I figured, how it works and how to implement it. Now I give you Story System for OpenBoR. As the name implies, it is a system for displaying dialog and scrolling text and images.

NOTE!: Please update your indexed variables if they use variables 25-50! Adjust story_define.h if necessary.

Quick what's new:

Version 2.1
- Stable typewritten text. Tested on my Android 5.1 device. Almost 1:1 to the PC version (quick side note FPS in Android is 150 tops, FPS in Android is 250 tops).
- Beeping in typewritten text, similar to a game you guys might know. Can be disabled by dabbling in the source code.

Version 2.0
- Finally! After all this time, I finally made typewritten text! It's been years, I know.
- Added a new function _speed to control the typewritten text.

Version 1.3
- Fixed a couple of possible bugs in scrolling text by rewriting the text scrolling system.
- Fixed minor parser system bugs.
- Added new commands _noskip, _back.
- Replaced _pausemusic and _fademusic into _quickpausemusic and _fadepausemusic respectively since fademusic() and pausemusic() can be toggled to be turned on or off.
- Added multiple sprite system (thanks Piccolo!)
- Added substitution flags for player name and gender nouns

Version 1.2
- Fixed a bug where you skip a dialog and it will retain the text after the dialog closes. This is because the system uses text objects instead of drawstring functions. Thanks NickyP for pointing that out.
- Fixed a bug where the dialog needed to have the {dir} function (such as _white).
- Added white out functions _white and _normal to documentation.

I whipped up a quick demo. I placed it open (unpaked) to allow people to see how it works. I also placed there the story system in a zip for implementation. There are instructions both in the demo and the story system zip for more details.

If there are bugs and suggestions and improvements towards the system, feel free to message here or PM me. As much as possible though, message here, so that everyone can help.
