Escape Codes Fix
Version: 1.0
Author: modern algebra
Date: April 23, 2012
Version History
- <Version 1.0> 2012.04.23 - Original Release
Description
By default, a small oversight when using message codes can crash the game. By forgetting to include any code between \ and [, the game would crash. For instance, the following message would crash the game:
Hello \c[12]Ralph\[0], and welcome to RMVX Ace.
This happens because you forgot to put a c between the second \ and [. This script fixes that error and puts a message in the console saying that it happened.
Features
- Doesn't crash the game when you accidentally fail to place a code between \ and [ when using message codes.
- Prints a simple message in the console advising you of the error instead.
Instructions
Paste this script into its own slot in the Script Editor, above Main but below Materials.
