About this project
In Dragon Warrior II's main script, text is printed to the main dialogue window with neither sound effects nor automatic line indenting until the first $65 (opening single quote) code point is encountered, upon which both the text printing sound effect and the automatic indenting are enabled for the remainder of the current string with no way to revert to silent, non-indented text.
This patch modifies Dragon Warrior II's text engine to make the exisitng $60 code point (one of the various space tiles) disable the text printing sound effect and automatic indenting. Subsequent uses of the $65 code point will re-enable these effects. Making use of this new ability requires updating the main script, however, so this patch will be of limited interest to non-hackers.
Includes commented source code!
