I've been looking all around the forums and the rest of the web. The few examples that are supposed to make bitmap text either do not work or are for DBPro (I have the original DB). My problem is this: I'm making a 3D RPG and I want names to shown over top of all the players. Normal text (using print or text commands) does not appear and doesn't look good anyway. Can someone guide me in the right direction, maybe with some code? Thanks in advance.

Oh how I was in your position once, text for character names in the RPG battle system. Well, make text a sprite, they refresh and show on 3d screens, but anyways, here ya go:



Hope that helps ya! Now, if you want it to be above the character, your going to have to insert some code for when you press keys to move the sprite. I hope this gets you started!
