Really cool script. Tested it and worked fine.

This may be a dumb question 'cause I'm not much of a professional when it comes to scripting, but I coudn't change the color in the namebox.
So am I doing something wrong or can this be done at all? :P

What do I need to do if I want all the messages to show up just a size or two smaller than the size it originally shows up in? It says how to do it with each individual message on the demo, but I don't want to have to enter that in for every message.

I sorta looked through it, but didn't want to change anything because I'm really not good with these scripts at all.

For question 1, it foes into the message event, not into the script.  so if you want the box to say the name of hero 1 you would type
Code: [Select]
\name[\n[001]]and then this is the message

?????'AMS'? 160 ??? NoMethodError ????????

undifined method 'fit' for nil:NilClass

Line 160 and the stuff after it that I assume effects it are here -

Code: [Select]
unless system.fit
  self.width, self.height = 480, 160
  skin = system.skin ? system.skin : $game_system.windowskin_name
  self.windowskin = RPG::Cache.windowskin(skin)
  self.contents = Bitmap.new(448, 128)
else
  contents.clear
  contents.font.color = normal_color
  contents.font.size = Font.default_size
end

If anyone can help with this problem please reply here! Also, It was working fine yesterday now whenever I talk to people while testing the game this happens. (You can even see it work on my demo lol)

EDIT: Ok, I test played my demo from the beginning and the only bit that has a problem are the events in the latest maps. Also, I cut the bit causing the problem to see if that would fix it and then it told my the 'font' part that comes after that is wrong aswell. I have found alot of errors in this script but most of them I have been able to fix. I'll paste the original problem back in now.

Well, I bet this is a stupid question and I desperately hope I don't get in trouble for it but...

How to download this script's demo?

The download links in the first post appear to be dead, I can't find any others scanning through the thread, and Google-ing for the script merely turns up places that have copy-pastes of the first post, dead links and all.

I suppose the question is: Can anyone provide a working link to the demo file again?

While I realise the script proper is still in the first post, with my inexperience, it seems like suicide trying to use the script without its instructions.

I'd like a demo of this, but both links are dead. Can you resubmit or email it to me?

EDIT: On second thought, PM me or post a complete list of commands.

Hey, this is an awesome script. But I'm wondering if it is possible to use the key "H" to close out or continue in the message box. It's using "ENTER" instead. I looked through the script and couldn't find anything. any suggestions?

First of all, I love the script, but I have a question or two...

Is there any way to decrease the padding on the message box?

Spoiler for Screenshot:

As seen in the screenshot (with white border added to the face png to better see where the edges are), the text starts out in the middle, which works ok when it's just one line, but with two it looks just weird. IMO, it's better to have it start near the top, since that looks ok with both one- and two-liners. Same with the face; the space above and to the left of it is far too much; I could easily decrease it by ten pixels each. (Also, that way the window wouldn't have to be huge to avoid cropping of the bottom of the image.)

I've been fiddling around with various numbers, but I don't seem to have found the one that controls that part =( Admittedly, it's pretty much the first time I'm looking at this scripting language, so I might be overlooking something totally obvious, but if anyone could help me out it'd be awesome.

What part of the script controls the speed of the letters?
