Draw Text To Screen Add Borders [SwareJonge]
this code adds borders to the text drawn on screen
the 06 part of this code is optional but it reduces the border size which to me looks nice if only 1 line is drawn

04 code sets the backErase flag for nw4r_db_DrawStringToXfb_ to true, this is normally always false
06 patches some calculations for our text we want to draw on screen so that part of the framebuffer gets erased

It's basically futile to explain how to use the new Draw Codes by Jonge unless you are a Coder/Dev. It requires modifying the source for what you want to draw, you simply can't modify the compiled code.
What do you want drawn? Maybe somebody here can compile the code for you.
RE: Draw text to Screen Add Borders [SwareJonge] - Optllizer - 01-17-2021
Ah. I thought it was a simple code edit. I wanted something to display the current version distro. Right now i just edited the Mario Kart Channel text to say the version. But would of been cool to have it show up when it loads saying "OptPack v1.25 has been Loaded". Something really stupid and I would want to change it every update. Ill just keep it the way it is. Thanks for the reply

I might as well try to explain. It really isn't that hard, if you are only wanting to change basic text output.
Go down to the source of the code.
Look for..
Code:
.string "DEGUG\0\0"The contents in between the two quotations if what you want to edit. Remove the slash-zeroes btw.
Edit in w/e text you need, underneath that add in this line...
Code:
.align 2Now go to the very top line...
Code:
.set region, ''In between the quotation marks, put your region letter
e = ntsc-u
p = pal
j = ntsc-j
k = ntsc-k
Download and install pyiiasmh3 - https://mkwii.com/showthread.php?tid=1529
Open up pyiiasmh
Now with your modified/updated source, copy the entire thing, paste it in the large lefthand box.
Change code type to 06/16
The address/offset is 800014B0
Compile the code. Now you need to just add the 04 ram write you see for your region
