Failed to Create Bitmap Error

[NDSGuy]

Okay. I just installed Slipknot's Advanced Message System Script into my game and I'm getting some errors. I made a NPC with the message box and when I talk to him, the screen will go black and I will get the error-

Code Select Expand

?????? 'Slipknot Message System' ? 516 ?? RGSSError ????????
Failed to create bitmap

Any help?

Copy the script here and I'll have a look at it.

When I started haveing problems, I took it directly from the demo. I got the same thing. Here's the code,

[code]#==============================================================================
# ** Slipknot Advance Message System

# Slipknot
# 3.0
# 02.23.06
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Thanks to:
  - Dubealex, for some of the features.
  - Phylomorphis, for the hexadecimal color.

Do you have any other scripts that may conflict with this AMS and did you install SDK also?

[NDSGuy]

I installed SDK but it goes wrong when I tried to talk to the character who has the Name Box effect. I haven't tried another one, yet.

Also, when I do regular text, it shows nothing.

Inserting:

Code Select Expand

$defaultfonttype = "Tahoma"

Just below begin in Main will fix that error of not seeing any text.

Can you send me the game file so I can see what's going on?

[NDSGuy]

I'm sorry. This is a noob question...

Where do I host my file?

[Viper]

You can either try Megaupload.com or filefront.com

[NDSGuy]

Here it is.

[Viper]

Super...outstanding. Now send me a copy that isn't encrypted  :roll:  I can't help you if I can't access the game file.

[NDSGuy]

Here is the new one.

[Viper]

It's giving you a bitmap error because there isn't a windowskin for the namebox labeled "Charcoal XP" within your graphics folder. Either get that windowskin, or go into the script and find this line:

Code Select Expand


NB_skin = 'Charcoal XP'


And change "Charcoal XP' to '001-Blue01' . This is the default window skin and will be used for the message box as well as the name window.

[NDSGuy]

I've tried that. It also gives me another error. Let me see what it is.

EDIT: It gives me the same error. It says the error is on Line 516

[Viper]

Right....you know what. I'm going to upload the fixed version for you so you can see your problem.

Give me a second.

[NDSGuy]

By the way you sound, it was me who created the problem. I'm such a stupid! :oops:

[Viper]

Alright here it is.

Wow! Amazing! I don't know how you did that, but many thanks!  :^^:
