Does any one know where I can find a ams (advanced message script) which I don't have to extract out of any projects, because I need it so I can display the person who's talking face into the message box, if any one could help me that would be great! :)
give credit to slipknot
the 2 scripts are attached to this post
the instruction are in the second script (letter by letter ams) at the top of the script.
you don't need the first script (sdk) if you already have it.
im not sure, but i think the sdk is supposed to go under the defult scripts but ubove all of your custum scripts.
there is also a demo that teaches you how to use the ams (also attached to this post)
I used a picture im my message box and the picture show up but the text with it never showed up, then there were some boxes where I used no picture in the message box and the text was still not shown...could some one pease help me
Slipknot's AMS is a piece of crap, go to hbgames.org and use Ccoa's UMS.
CCoa's UMS is GODLY! But if that doesn't work then you could always use the "Show Picture" event =D
~Winged
I learned that Ccoa's UMS is somewhat difficult and confusing...
Here's the one I use in my game

Beware! The faces won't work when the message is dislpayed over a character or event
Rune, I tried using the scipt but I use a lot and I mean a lot of events in each room for enemies because I'm using the abs battle system script and it wouldn't work when it was over a event, like you said, so is there any other scripts that might work?, I've tried searching the internet for Ccoa's UMS but I can't find it, so could some one please post Ccoa's UMS please, that'd be great.
He meant when you place the message box over a player's head using a special command. Look on hbgames.org for ccoa's UMS. It's not that hard to get the hang of, I don't think.
I looked for it but the link to the demo that has the script is down ;9
Wait for it to come back up. Someone probably posted a mirror.
Falcon, you were right Ccoa's UMS is really confusing, I wanted to use deublex's but when I tried to download the demo for instructions it said that the page was missing, or something like that, can't really remember what it said, well anyway is there any script which I don't have to extract from any games which allows me to put faces in the message box besides Ccoa's because deublex's script works but the demo with instructions is missing.
Slipknot's really isn't bad in my opinion. It certainly has the options which you need, and the options it does not have are not critical in my opinion, though the others are more powerful. Anyway:

Confusing? Wtf? It has a list of all the commands INSIDE the comment poriton of the script....
thanks modern algebra :) I tried the link for it but the script didn't show, I had to use a certain font for the writing to make it appear it said and I tried and now it works, Resolved. ;8
