Using release Godot 3.0 Mono build on macOS Sierra

After copying in the addons/GodotTIE directory and enabling in Project Settings, I see the following message in the output:

 res://addons/GodotTIE/text_interface_engine.gd:75 - Parse Error: Expected identifier for argument.
 modules/gdscript/gdscript.cpp:583 - Method/Function Failed, returning: ERR_PARSE_ERROR

Which is strange, because that line looks fine to me. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi,
is it possible to somehow get a side scrollbar that can be used with the mouse?
Currently I can get the storyline but the navigation is with the Arrow keys.

Setting custom borders or applying theme does not add a background/borders to the node when running the game, but it shows in editor. Font settings are applied just fine. Is there a special technique to this?
TIE is fantastic, by the way.

As seen in the Lorem_Ipsum demo (shame on me for not noticing it before, haha), the last couple of lines won t get printed when you set the text to scroll it.

My text keeps scrolling down instead of to the side, because when the label is created, it doesn't fill out the parent, it just creates a tiny label.

Not sure if this is new godot functionality that broke something, or i'm just not setting it up correctly. might need to add some code to tell the label to fill out it's parent?

More of a feature request, but it'd be nice if this had Rich Text Label support.
Tried forking it myself, but a lot of logic fails with rich text label because of how number of lines are determined in auto wrap between label and rich text label.

Not quite a issue, but... Are there any thorough tutorial on TIE? I get lost trying yo decipher how it works.
I really love the per-page presentation in the DEMO_Ipsum and got some ideas for it. Can I go back instead of only forward? Can the font be changued, scaled?

Thx.

Working with scancodes makes it much harder to have configurable input, so being able to use actions would be helpful.
InputEventKey provides the function (from the base class InputEvent) is_action(String action) that could be checked instead of checking solely the scancode.

Proposal

Exports

Export an enum to determine whether actions, scancodes, or both should be used to check input. If more input types are to be added, booleans for each type should replace this. Note also that instead of the break scancode being a private variable, it will be exported in this proposal, along with the action.

The keys for scrolling + accepting input text will also be added as exports.

enum INPUT_TYPES {
	ACTION,
	SCANCODE,
	ACTION_OR_SCANCODE,
}
export(INPUT_TYPES) var INPUT_TYPE = INPUT_TYPES.ACTION_OR_SCANCODE

export(int) var BREAK_SCANCODE = KEY_ENTER
export(String) var BREAK_ACTION = "ui_accept"

export(int) var UP_SCANCODE = KEY_UP
export(String) var UP_ACTION = "ui_up"

export(int) var DOWN_SCANCODE = KEY_DOWN
export(String) var DOWN_ACTION = "ui_down"

export(int) var ACCEPT_SCANCODE = KEY_ENTER
export(String) var ACCEPT_ACTION = "ui_accept"

Helper functions

Add a function to check if the event corresponds to the action/scancode while also taking into consideration the INPUT_TYPE selected.

2 helper functions will be added to more concisely check if the INPUT_TYPE includes action or scancode.

func _is_input_type_action() -> bool:
	return INPUT_TYPE == INPUT_TYPES.ACTION or INPUT_TYPE == INPUT_TYPES.ACTION_OR_SCANCODE

func _is_input_type_scancode() -> bool:
	return INPUT_TYPE == INPUT_TYPES.SCANCODE or INPUT_TYPE == INPUT_TYPES.ACTION_OR_SCANCODE

func _is_input_active(event: InputEventKey, scancode: int, action: String) -> bool:
	return event.pressed and (
		(_is_input_type_action() and event.is_action(action))
		or (_is_input_type_scancode() and event.scancode == scancode)
	)

_input Function

All instances of checking scancodes will be replaced by the helper function (except for backspace)

func _input(event):
	if(event is InputEventKey and event.pressed): 
		if(SCROLL_SKIPPED_LINES and (_is_input_active(event, UP_SCANCODE, UP_ACTION) or _is_input_active(event, DOWN_SCANCODE, DOWN_ACTION))): # User is just scrolling the text
			if(_is_input_active(event, UP_SCANCODE, UP_ACTION)):
				# ...
			else:
				# ...
		elif(_state == 1 and _on_break): # If its on a break
			if(_is_input_active(event, BREAK_SCANCODE, BREAK_ACTION)):
				# ...
		elif(_state == 2): # If its on the input state
			# ...
			if(event.scancode == KEY_BACKSPACE): # Delete last character
				# ...
			elif(_is_input_active(event, ACCEPT_SCANCODE, ACCEPT_ACTION)): # Finish input
				# ...

When you use GodotTIE using the engines asset store, it populates your project root folder, maybe even interfering with the "main.gd" file. In my opinion, GodotTIE files should all be in a seperate folder.

sorry for bad title
