Advanced Text System 3.0c

amazing script, every feature works perfectly, haven't had any errors, and I've been customizing the script a lot, just one question, does this work on the initial screen, i mean like the color codes? i'd love it even more than i do now if they did, (that's quite hard!!!!) anyway, amazing script

No, I'm sorry but that uses a different window than the message window, so it wouldnt really fit in with this script. I am glad to hear you have not encountered any problems.

@Adrien. Sorry - I sort of forgot about it. I will look into it within the next couple days. I don't have access to the internet on my computer right now, but I should within a few more days.

shame, oh well, thanks for an a* script

Alright, Adrien, I think I've located your weird ass bug.
Try inserting this into a new script BELOW the ATS in the script editor.

I apologize for taking so long to find a fix.

thank you for fixing the error

Alrighty, I haven't been using this script for long, but I think I'm getting used to it's features.
However, I've run into a bit of a wall here. I'll try to explain.
I've got a combined choice branch, with exactly 11 choices.  Depending one which you select, it will disable the choice, and reopen the choice branch to select another.


The above is an example of one of the 4 Choice commands.
Now, onto the issue.

Let's assume i select choice 1. This will set a variable, and turn switch 281 ON; Disabling choice 1.
I check my variables, and the correct variable has been set.

I select choice 2. The same as above happens. The command disappears, and the proper variable is set to 1.

I open the box for a third time, currently, choice 1 and 2 are gone, as they are supposed to be.
I select choice 5. The wrong switch and variable are set. The variable for choice 4 is set instead.

Further testing showed that it continued in this pattern. Disabling the wrong command, and setting the wrong variable. What i assumed, was that the ID of the next choice command was being used for the selection.  As in, selecting  choice 5 used the contents of choice 4, instead.

I've used several other commands that I thought might conflict, and cause this error. As well as setting the box's column count to 4, and row count to 3.
Even removing these commands didn't solve it, so I've come to the natural conclusion, that it is a script error.

I'm apologize for the messy post, I seem to lose track of what I've covered when making these things.
I'm really not sure what other information may be important. I'd appreciate some clarification, or assistance.

Yes, it likely is an error in the script. If you wouldn't mind, could you send the project with the error in it to me? If you do not feel comfortable sharing the contents of your project, then you could reproduce the error in another project and send that to me. It would make the process go a lot faster.

I cleared out everything that was unnecessary. Hopefully it cut the file size enough. (was 100mb)

For reference, i've altered the event to tell you which choice you selected.
Also, the common event in question, is #10.

Although I've nothing left in the project I'd like to keep private, I've sent the link in PM to be proper.

Alright, Thank you. I will get to work.

I seem to have this issue as well. If you have four choices:

A
B
C
D

And if you have A and B not appearing due to switches, selecting C will result as if you selected B, and selecting D will result as if you selected C! I'll PM you the project, if you wouldn't mind looking at it.

A fix would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, thank you for the extra data. I am looking into it, but I've been pretty busy with school and haven't been able to do scripting that isn't very very simple. I will try to have it fixed before too late in February.

Huh?, Very Great Script Modern Algebra!!
Wow!!~^^

But I have a suggestion, this might be hard because…


How about add the Menu for Speed Text system. With this, the Player can adjust the menu(text speed) whatever their like. Example: Fast 0 – 10 Slow.

I Hope someone read this and reply it.

Thank you, my friend, At least reading .~^^

the menu text speed? The menu doesn't draw letter by letter though ~ it draws it all at once. I don't know what you're asking.

Also, I have not looked at the bugs with this script yet. I keep meaning to get around to it, but I have a pretty full plate at the moment. I will do it though, and I have not forgotten about them.

Yes...I see the misunderstood at there...I hope you understand with it...~^^.             

Huh..(I not very well at English)... I meant that add the Menu..Maybe the command menu for adjust the text speed(when talking with NPC and other)

I know the menu go out at once..I meant that the player can adjust the text speed when talking with npc or other

Example: Slow 10 => Fast 0.

(Not for the menu text speed)(Create the command menu for adjust the text speed during talking the NPC or etc)

Please tell me if you do not understand with it...I see you are very hard working scripter/coder.
Nice...Keep it up~^^

Huh sorry for double post..
I have the AOM(Advance Option Menu)

And just upload it here... take a look..

I do not know about the author...

And in there, there has Paragraph Formatter and ATS (Advance text System) all made by Modern Algebra.


Take a look….
Maybe you can adjust for add the 'command menu' for the player that can adjust the text speed during/after talking with NPC and other...

(Hope...please understand with me....)(Please understand with me)

I know to create the script is harder... and I  do not want to disturb you..Please respond it so I can know if you want to create it or not.

I'll take a look and if it seems easily doable, then I will do it. If it is hard, then I will put it on my list of major scripting projects, and it might take some time before I could get around to it.

Thank you very much.. Modern Algebra ...I am very appreciates with your helps~^^

Sorry for double post.

1)How close is this request to being finished??


2)I was found Bug in your ATS Script, hope you will give attention. There was a crash with other script made by Worale/Woratana.
The Quick Face Border by Worale.
(There are no error in there but has only a bug)

The Quick Face Border does not work after talking with NPC (The messages).

Hope you understand with my words.....
If you not understand I can explain it..


I think that all, and sorry if I take your time.

Hmm, well compatibility issues are to be expected among other message scripts. I will take a look. In the meantime, the ATS does have an option to give the faceset its own window. Maybe you could see if that achieves a similar effect.

As for the original problem, it is doable. What options do you want me to include though? Just text speed?

I am very thank you for you because accept my request.

Edit: for truly i said you have another bug... withEmoticon on Face made by Nechigawara Sanzenin

Hey, I recently installed Yanfly's new Display Victory Aftermath script, and it's showing something weird on ATS' end. Basically messages appear twice as often as they should. As I wrote on RPGRev,

Sorry to be a pain, but I'm still getting the same error after using the compatibility fix and trying out every combination of scripts placing ATS higher/lower, the script higher/lower and compatibility. I've included an image to help show what's going on if it helps at all.

It shows the first message, then I hit the X or enter button and the portrait disappears, then I have to hit the X or enter button again for the next message to show up.

Do you have any idea of how ATS is affecting this? I know that Yanfly's script has a certain way of displaying message text, namely:

Code: [Select]

    # Actor.ID  =>  # ----------------------------------------------------------
             1  =>  [# This is Actor 1's quotes.
                     [# This is the 1st random message that can be said.
                      "\\>\\c[6]\\n[1]\\c[0]\\<",
                      "\"Hmph! I didn't break a sweat.\"",
                      " ",
                      " "],
                    ],# This ends Actor 1

Hmm, I will definitely look into that tomorrow. It is likely an error on my part, as it seems that it is terminating the message without clearing the window.

First, see if:

http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,25348.msg387740.html#msg387740

does anything.

Thanks man!

Cool. Good to hear!

Hello.

I want to inform you that your script doesn't seem to have the animated face disable/enable toggle. When I was using my faces (they all end in numbers) so some of them switch to another person's face. Because of the numbers in their filenames. I went through your script, but was unable to find a toggle. Or I missed a Boolean animated face somewhere somehow.

So I had to dive in your script and disable it manually myself.

Also, is there a way to get rid of the "pause" between the face changes? I'm using the expression faces. If I want to switch a happy face to angry face, it would make the happy face disappear, and come a new angry face. I don't want the face to "disappear." I want it to happen immediately, that you don't notice the face disappearing, and reappearing. (And it also affects the namebox, so it disappears along with the face. Dunno if you want to know that too.)

I used the code -    \|\^  and the face-disappear-appear is noticeable.

Meanwhile I'll try to look into the disappear/appear myself, but I'm only novice at ruby though. In the default project (No advanced test system), the face is replaced with another face immediately. So the pause between the face changes is by your script, that I know.

Thank you for writing this great script. I've been using it for a long time.
