mr.l

I need a patch where I can display a lot of text with jit.gl.text. The text will include a lot of variables, which I want to change live during the show.

Also I will have different versions of texts. So layouting everything inside Max seems a big hassle.

My approach was to use javascript to load a text and access the variables. However, I am not good with javascript and don’t know how to format a textile, so it can be read properly, how to load into javascript and how to output it with the new elements changed by the variables.

However I think, a Global Object is a good way to go, no?

I am also open to other approaches, such as jit.textfile. But again: here I don’t know how to dynamically change the content of the jit.textfile.

It’s getting kind of urgent and I am not getting anywhere further.

PS: thats part of the same project I asked something about here:

Attached a sample patch.

Thanks for ideas.
