Finally everything about my Journal System with a Torquescript Database back end (Torque DB I like to call it lol)... is working !! on top of this T2D opens up a whole new possibility for me and my team
Well after much time that I've slowly been able to sneak in since I first developed the mass of this, Its working...

here are some beautiful pics !



First Pic: here is the journal system... now with a "Back and Next" button


Second Pic: Showing the next button working wonderfully... (this was much harder to implement then I could've imagined


Third Pic: Shows what happens when you select an entry, for testing purposes I just entered one field... but this shows it accesses it fine, also when you click on this it will return back to the other menu


Fourth Pic: Now you see the 999th entry !!! I really need to put a first and last button now lol... but it cycles through them all! I entered 1,000 entries at one time! no delay practically.


Fifth Pic: And even on "person999" it loads the entry to it fine... this is what I couldn't get working for a while...



Originally this was all in one big scroll control... except that 1000 entries that have to redraw everytime you move your mouse (for highling selections - note the blue) doesn't work too well..


Well now that I have this working I can clean this up, make a tutorial (I have some fairly good commented functions with examples in the code)...
though due to my limited time (T2D sucking every last milisecond) I might release this as a resource a bit rough, so people can have a journal system and a torqueScript database (if they choose)... even if the code is a bit sloppy

Could this be the beginnings of a T2D adventure/role-play games? Let's hope so!

Great work!
