New to Scripting, A Few Questions (XP)

Hello everyone!

I was once a frequent user for the RPG Maker 2000 almost a decade ago.  I've recently been working on a project for the RMXP and love it!  I understand you can further customize your game and implement special features with scripting, but I am a novice to this.  I want to know if it is possible to:

1) Have weapon/armor names appear in gold/blue font like unique/magic weapons in Diablo.

2) Align the battler portraits of the 4 actors down (I'm guessing a Y coordinate somewhere?) so they touch the bottom of the screen.

3) Is it possible to implement both the 8-way movement feature and the caterpillar feature?

I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area--again I'm a novice.  I'm willing to do the work myself if someone would be so kind to point me in the right direction.  I've already looked in the database and couldn't find answers to any of these.  Thanks!

Sorry for the double post, but I'm having another problem.

Some scripts I put in seem to work without crashing, but none of them have any text!  It's happening with several different scripts made by different people.  It can't be coincidence!  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks again!

they don't have text???

I don't know what you mean...

If you mean that there is no textual representation of your scripts in the game, the only thing I have to ask is, why would they?

but again, I don't quite understand your problem... could you be a bit more specific?

Maybe he means the text doesn't show up when he does a messaging command, or there isn't any text in any of the windows at all, like in the Main Menu? Haha, def need some more info...lol.

There is no in-game text for the menus that were scripted.

For example, Mr Wiggle's Alchemy Script calls an alchemy menu.  I call it just fine, but the items only have icons--there are no item names, item descriptions, or anything with words inside the game.

This is actually a common occurence. What you have to do is make a new Page in the editor at the very top, call it something like For showing Text.

Paste this into the page:

Code: [Select]

Font.default_name = ['Palatino Lynotype','Arial']
Font.default_size = 24

and then save the Script Editor and see if that works. It should. Hope I helped.

As a side note, this is something on this site, you should of searched. But eh. It's fine, just trying help yea out. Good luck!

Excellent!  Thank you, kidfox!  That fixed it right up.  I appreciate your patience in helping me out.  Happy gaming.

Haha, anytime man. Same to you!
