Tags

show_iface_tag, hide_iface_tag and is_iface_tag_active relate to the boxes that appear above the interface such as SNEAK and LEVEL. You can use 0 for SNEAK (starting from sfall 4.4.4/3.8.44), 3 for LEVEL, 4 for ADDICT, and 5 to (4 + the value of BoxBarCount in ddraw.ini) for custom boxes. Remember to add your messages to intrface.msg and set up the font colours in ddraw.ini if you’re going to use custom boxes. Starting from sfall 4.1/3.8.12, is_iface_tag_active can also be used to check 0 for SNEAK, 1 for POISONED, and 2 for RADIATED.
