Title: Question with Slipknot's Advanced Message script.
Post by: ZachOrem on March 14, 2006, 11:10:41 AM
Alrighty - I just have a very quick question then I'll be off on my merry way; I hope someone here can answer it.

When I put Slipknot's Advanced Message script (http://www.crankeye.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6305) in my current project, all my dialogue was replaced by a very small, empty message box.

(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi12.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fa235%2FZachORem%2FThoal.jpg&hash=5ed5906246e26508254a098958651e5228c7ed8d)

Is there any particular reason for this, and more importantly:  Can I fix it while still being able to retain the functions of Slipknot's script?

If you were using the \g display with no text then itll do that. or if you had a blank message somwhere in there.

I had text in there, that much is for sure.  Here's the deal:

I've been working on this project for the better part of a year, and am quite a ways into it - the dialogue is still rough draft-ish, but it flows well both literally and mechanically.  I've replayed the scene in the screenshot close to a thousand times and it's never had that blank box show up untill I threw Slipknot's script in (not saying it is his fault, I'm the one whose ignorant to the workings of scripting) - in fact -all- dialogue has been replaced by that small box.

Perhaps I have to change something in the dialogue itself before it works?  Or maybe I'll have to modify the script a little to suit my needs?  In any case, I don't know a thing about what to do.  In the words of Leia;  "You [guys] are my only hope."

:whoa:  Come on people! Ok look I've posted this solution before on many different forums to include this one. Use the search!

Go into Main

begin
 # Change the $fontface variable to change the font style
 $fontface = "Tahoma"
 # Change the $fontsize variable to change the font size
 $fontsize = 16


Change your $fontface to 'Tahoma' and change the size font that you want.

Go into Slipknot's AMS

Search for   self.contents.font.name =

Change that to 'Tahoma'

Right below it should be your size font. Change that to what you have in main.

Typing \g before text messages show your gold window on the screen by the way...it doesn't help with seeing font.

Or only add before Main:Font.default_name = 'Tahoma'
