[RESOLVED]RMXP PK Message Script

I've decided to make a seperate topic for this because the other one was mainly about other things. I've tried using the Letter by Letter Script posted by Season in the Abyss and whenever I use it, it either stops my game with an error, or the text doesn't show at all.

Whenever I play it now this is what happens.

Error:

Spoiler for:

this is the script that I put in:

Does anyone know of a message script that would work for PK or any way that this script would work for me?

I want the name to appear on the line in the message box, or maybe even ontop, just not IN the box.

Sorry if I left anything out.

Exer1, I know I can't help you with this - you've already worn me out   But for more detail, do you have this script inserted just before main still?  And can you give a screenie of the event that creates the message?  I don't know if it'll give anyone any more clues, but it can't hurt.

Hahaha, I know Thanks for all of your help!!

This is what happens when I don't put the \name[text]

Spoiler for:

the weird symbol is \

Spoiler for:

This is another way I put the code.

Spoiler for:

Still, both don't work.

The first part seems like a font problem. Try Blizzard's Ultimate Font Override. It can be found in the Scripts Database of chaosproject.co.nr, I believe it is in Tons of Addons.

That being said, I don't know what the problem is on first glance. I copied it into my project and it worked fine. Try dubealex's AMS? It can be found at creationasylum.net

I couldn't find the blizzard ultimate font override. But I found the AMS, tho when I downloaded the file, I couldn't open it. =( Someone help?

The ultimate font override is in a collection script called tons of addons.

Or, try doing this.
Insert a new script and put this:

Font.default_name = "Tahoma"

It works!!!

Thanks!

I just have one more question. How do you get the name of the person talking in the message?

Like this:

Spoiler for:

Spoiler for:

Well, you can type it out. You can also use the code \n[ID] where ID is the ID of the actor. The ID is the number next to the actor when you go into the database.

I get this error code when I type that:

Well, technically, we are not supposed to provide support for PK version, and that is probably where your problems are coming from as the script works perfectly fine in the official version. Anyway, I sent you the information you need to get the official version. If you have any questions about it, PM (private message) me about them.
