Slipknot Advance Message System 3.0

NEW:
 - SDK compatibility.
    I think, is now compatible with SDK (you can remove it).
 - Deleted some code.
     Some things of the last version can be smaller.
 - Hexadecimal color.
    Some people request it, works like in the Dubealex script.
 - Another fix to the cursor width.
    I found a new way to manage it.
 - Advance Cursor Width
    Is based in the current choice width.
 - Fixed input number window.
    The back window's width now can't be smaller than the input number's width.

SCREENSHOTS:

Do you have SDK? I'm assuming you don't, because that is likely the cause of this error.

Code: [Select]

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
if SDK.state 'Slipknot Advance Message System'

and

Code: [Select]
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# End SDK Enabled Test

end

That should do it, if it doesn't, then post your error message.

OH. Make a new script above the message system, label it "font" without the quotes.

The script is:

Font.default_name = "Tahoma"

Can the namebox be combined with the character graphic in the message? That would be slick.

EDIT:
I guess I could edit the refresh method of Window_Message to set name_box = true or somethin' like that.

Wow, that would be really sweet if you can get it to work, I have never tried these systems because I have loooked for something that can do both.

Okay, I'm not using 3.0 but the other Slipknot message system.
I tried using both and...it works! But with a slight problem. That is, both are displayed but the face graphic overlaps the namebox. What happens is that the refresh method processes the coordinates of the namebox first and the face second. Thus the namebox doesn't know that the coordinates of the message window have been adjusted to accomodate the face graphic.

Here's a quick fix!  Simply rearrange the order of these two code blocks:

Code: [Select]
   if name_box
      nbx,nby = self.x,self.y-15
      w = self.contents.text_size(name_text).width+12
      @name_box = Window_Base.new(nbx,nby,w,32)
      @name_box.z = self.z+1
      nbx += 6; nby += 4
      @name_box_text  = Name_Box_Text.new(nbx,nby,name_text)
      @name_box_text.z = self.z+2
    end

Code: [Select]
    if @face
      face = RPG::Cache.load_bitmap(@path,face_name)
      @back.height <= 128 ? fy = 0 : fy = ((@back.height-128)/2)
      self.contents.blt(0,fy,face,Rect.new(0,0,96,96))
      @back.height = 128 if @back.height <= 128
      men_pos
      @face = false
    end

With the code for the namebox coming *after* the code for the face graphic, it should work properly.
Of course I don't know his code well enough to know for sure that this won't mess up any of the other message options, but anyhow there you can have both a namebox and a face to your message. Nifty :)

Here's an example of how you'd use it:

Your greatest flaw is that you have a soul.
I have a question regarding this excellent script and would be very happy if anyonce could point me the right way. Although without instructions, I noticed there is an option in script where you can change the window and message skin which is, by default in script, set to "nil" by Slipknot.

Quote
# Skin for the message window, nil = default
   @skin = nil
   # Skin for the name box, nil = default
   @nb_skin = nil

Lines 53,54,55,56.

Now, I'd like to change the default since the default in no possible way fits the game mood. What kind of graphics should I make, following which rules, where should I paste them and what code should I replace "nil" with to make it appear in the game. I'm guessing I should edit the windowskin folder but still don't know how to apply it to script.

EDIT EDIT EDIT

Nvmd, I figured out by accident.

I was wondering if I use a side battle view system and I want to display the character's names on the battle command window as their names are displayed on text windows (in the upper left hand corner with the charcoal background) how would I do that? I've looked through my battle script, but I believe the answer lies in the standard battle command window script. I just have no idea where or even what to put there to make the name window appear over the battle command window. Any ideas?
