[Darico]

Again, thanks that worked. But now I may actually kill this script...

?? 'AMS' ? 172 NoMethodError ?

undifined method 'sound_enable' for nil:NilClass

lol... refers to this part of the script...

Code Select Expand

@fit_size, @sound = false, system.sound_enable

Thanks once more to anyone that can help...

[Blizzard]

Most probably there will be even more errors. Change the line to

Code Select Expand

@fit_size, @sound = false, system == nil ? true : system.sound_enable

[:)]

Man, I gota check this out.

[Darico]

Most probably there will be even more errors.

Hey, you guessed it. What you said worked but...

'fit' for nil:NilClass again...

Code Select Expand

if @fit_size = (event || system.fit)
  lines_size = [0, 0, 0, 0]
  save, lines = @text.clone, 0
  while (c = @text.slice!(/./m))
if c == "\n"
  lines += 1
  break if lines == 4
  if lines >= $game_temp.choice_start
lines_size[lines] += 16
  end
  next
end
lines_size[lines] += eval_text(c, true)
  end
end


Can someone just revamp this script or point me in the dirrection of a better one? lol

[Blizzard]

Change the

Code Select Expand

if @fit_size = (event || system.fit)

to

Code Select Expand

if @fit_size = (event || (system == nil ? event : system.fit))

[Darico]

I dont want to say it...

'nbyo' for nil:NilClass

this time...

and the part of te script is...

Code Select Expand

  @name_box = Window_NameBox.new(x, y - system.nbyo, name_text)
  @name_box.back.opacity = 0 if $game_system.message_frame == 1


Hmmm... Thanks again Blizzard lol, truely you are the scripter people can only dream of becoming.

[Blizzard]

Lol, thanks.

Change

Code Select Expand

@name_box = Window_NameBox.new(x, y - system.nbyo, name_text)

to

Code Select Expand

@name_box = Window_NameBox.new(x, y - system == nil ? 0 : system.nbyo, name_text)

[Darico]

*Actually Dies because of this script...*

Here we go...

nil can't be coerced into Fixnum

TypeError - at least its slight different problem this time...

the script part is...

Code Select Expand

@name_box = Window_NameBox.new(x, y - system == nil ? 0 : system.nbyo, name_text)
@name_box.back.opacity = 0 if $game_system.message_frame == 1


Looks like the bit you changed. Oh, it is. Hmmm, any help appreciated as always. By the end of this i'll be a expert at scripting! lol!

[Blizzard]

My bad, should be:

Code Select Expand

@name_box = Window_NameBox.new(x, y - (system == nil ? 0 : system.nbyo), name_text)


[:)]

dosen't this belong in script database? 

[Darico]

No, it belongs in the trash ._. lol...

Font again...

Code Select Expand

dumb.font.name = system.font

(Almost at the end of the script with this error; could be the last one!)

Thanks to any help...

[Blizzard]

Code Select Expand

dumb.font.name = (system == nil ? Font.default_name : system.font)


[Darico]

...

'nb_skin' for nil:NilClass

...

Code Select Expand

skin = system.nb_skin ? system.nb_skin : $game_system.windowskin_name
@back.windowskin = RPG::Cache.windowskin(skin)


...
Thanks again...

[Blizzard]

Code Select Expand

skin = (system == nil ? $game_system.windowskin_name : (system.nb_skin ? system.nb_skin : $game_system.windowskin_name))


[Darico]

Code Select Expand

skin = (system == nil ? $game_system.windowskin_name : (system.nb_skin ? system.nb_skin : $game_system.windowskin_name))


Ok, thanks! Let's see what happens next...

Its the font for nil:NilClass again...

heres the script part...

Code Select Expand

bitmap.font.name = system.font


Hmmm...

Changed it to

Code Select Expand

bitmap.font.name = system == nil ? Font.default_name : system.font


And it...

IT WORKED! lol... but...

'outline' for nil:NilClass

(Back at line 376  )

and the script is...

Code Select Expand

if system.outline
  color = contents.font.color.dup
  contents.font.color.set(0, 0, 0, 255)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x + 1, y, w * 2, system.height, c)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y + 1, w * 2, system.height, c)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x - 1, y, w * 2, system.height, c)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y - 1, w * 2, system.height, c)
  contents.font.color = color
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y, w * 2, system.height, c)
elsif system.shadow
  color = contents.font.color.dup
  contents.font.color.set(0, 0, 0, 192)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x + 2, y + 2, w * 2, system.height, c)
  contents.font.color = color
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y, w * 2, system.height, c)
else
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y, w * 2, system.height, c)
end

The first line of that is the one it says, but I put the rest there as its connected (In some way or another... I can just see by the spacing of it...)

Thanks again ~

Darico

[Blizzard]

Code Select Expand

if system != nil and system.outline
...
elsif system != nil and system.shadow
...

Change all the

Code Select Expand

system.height

to

Code Select Expand

(system == nil ? 374 : system.height)

[Darico]

'outline' for nil:NilClass

Bit we just edited -

Code Select Expand

if system.outline
  color = contents.font.color.dup
  contents.font.color.set(0, 0, 0, 255)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x + 1, y, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y + 1, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x - 1, y, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y - 1, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
  contents.font.color = color
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
elsif system.shadow
  color = contents.font.color.dup
  contents.font.color.set(0, 0, 0, 192)
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x + 2, y + 2, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
  contents.font.color = color
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
else
  contents.draw_text(@x + @start_x, y, w * 2, (system == nil ? 374 : system.height), c)
end


.....................................

[Blizzard]

But you forgot:

Code Select Expand

if system != nil and system.outline
...
elsif system != nil and system.shadow
...


[Darico]

Oppsie... lol ; ;

Well, another problem (Who would of guessed?!)

'sound_enable' for nil:NilClass

and the script...

Code Select Expand

@sound = (system.sound_enable && c != ' ')
@x += w


I'm getting ever so slightly pissed off by this script... Maybe someone should just make another one? lol ; ;

[Blizzard]

Lol, it ain't that easy. (Actually it is, I made something similar the other day !_! )

Code Select Expand

@sound = ((system == nil ? true : system.sound_enable) && c != ' ')


You know... I am not sure if it's really a good idea to change all of that... You won't be able to change the properties of the AMS most probably. O_o Have you tried it with a new game or save game by chance?

[Darico]

Ill get back to you in 10min... If my save files are corrupted.... >< *Gets knife out*

[Blizzard]

I can make your a little add-on that makes them compatible with they Letter-by-Letter script if the really are.

[Darico]

Yep, the it was the save files after all that lmao! luckly the script still works! I just played to the bit I was having problems with and it works fine! *Uses the save point in the area and deletes old saves*

So.. Umm... Thanks for all the help Blizzard!(rep up!)^^ Maybe you should check out my demo? 

Regards,
Darico

[Blizzard]

If I ever find the time, sure. I still haven't played through Yossy's game... (-_-')
I should now delete these pointless posts and... no wait, 100k border. :=

[Darico]

One more thing... how do you speed up the letter by letter thing? Or can you not? If you can't how do I turn it off?
