The documentation to the roodylib extension suite explains the use of SpecialKey to add another option during a particular ending state. I'm pretty sure you're also going to need to tell the player that there is such a choice, by printing your "(A)musing" (or whatever) notice.

You could almost use NewMessages to replace the messages for case &EndGame. However, I only want to show the special option for some ending states and not all of them. I'd need to add a new "num" value case, but that would mean I'd also have to replace EndGame itself, in order to test for the new case.

I've added roodylib, and I see that roodylib has changed EndGame. Looking at the code, I still don't see what I have to replace in order to add text to the message.

If you notice, EndGame has this line:

Code: Select all

Message&#40;&EndGame, 1,end_type&#41;

"end_type" is the endflag value you used to call EndGame (example: endflag = 3)

Because of this, you can replace the EndGame message with something like this:

Code: Select all

replace NewMessages&#40;r, num, a, b&#41;
&#123;
   select r
	case &EndGame
	&#123;
		select num
		case 1
		&#123;
			print "\nThe game has ended.  Do you want to &#40;R&#41;ESTART,
				R&#40;E&#41;STORE a saved game, ";
#ifclear NO_UNDO
			if not UNDO_OFF         ! if not otherwise overridden
				print "&#40;U&#41;NDO your last turn, ";
#endif
                        if a = 3 ! &#40; a = end_flag&#41;
                             print "&#40;A&#41;musing notes, ";
			print "or &#40;Q&#41;UIT? ";
		&#125;
		case 2
		&#123;
			print "Enter &#40;R&#41;ESTART, R&#40;E&#41;STORE, ";
#ifclear NO_UNDO
			if not UNDO_OFF
				print "&#40;U&#41;NDO, ";
#endif
                        if a = 3 ! &#40; a = end_flag&#41;
                             print "&#40;A&#41;musing notes, ";
			print "or &#40;Q&#41;UIT&#58; ";
		&#125;
	&#125;

   case else &#58; return false
   return true ! this line is only reached if we replaced something
&#125;

where the applicable text only prints when it's the right endflag.

That works well. Thank you.
