assistance with alteration to a script

hi and thanks for taking time to check this out :)
yeah... anyway

i have used ccao's cbs v3.04 EX and it works great, but then i have installed raziels battle report script. i have managed to link it up so that the characters faces appear instead of their sprites.
the only problem is that the status bars (for the atb) show through above it and im not sure what i would need to alter to fix this glitch. its nothing major it would just stop a few graphical errors, so they disappear just before the battle report stops but still works on the next battle :)

also if anyone could find out an easier method to link the character faces to the script (have been reading the errors in order to obtain the information i need about the file names) that would also be very gratefully received :)

Yeah I'm having troubles with the menu part of her cbs too here.
I think I found two other people who seemed to have troubles with this as well.

I'm pretty sure ccoa laced the layout script with her cbs and it's kinda mixed around in the CBS Scene_Battle area.

As far as solving your problem first you should set you demo to another link as it either is broken or requires you to register to download a file and no one is going to want to register to get a demo so they can help someone.

Second try making adjusting the size of the status bar's in photoshop or paint shop or something I think the pictures are in windowskins file in the graphics file.

Third try making a screen shot of your problem (print screen comand then paste it to a paint shop and save it as a jpeg) This way no one has to download anything or register for anything.

I can't understand why she used normal window's in her other scripts but on this on (the best) she made you also go though the trouble of messing with menu graphics.
 
ok lol i reuploaded the demo http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JGR69K8J there
all ya need to do is put the code in in the window at the top :)

yeah lol i know how to make screenshots so dw lol just thought the demo would be self explanatory :)

well with this scene here as you can see the bars have been drawn at the bottom of the screen

If she hadn't laced the that script with her's it wouldn't be a problem at all >.>

Do you know what name controls the time remaining bar that fill as time goes by?

Last thing you need to do is ask her directly...
she gets about a million question's a day on her CBS.

Ok from my pokeing around I found that ....
1. On your "battle report" script on line 205 you need to input a new comand that turns off the "visible" for the timer sprite.
2. I tried timer_sprite and sprite_timer
But I'm not sure what I am doing wrong I keep geting "Script "battle report'line 206: NoMethodError occurred" "undefined method 'visible=' for nil:NilClass"

Hey Crispychaney, The EX version wasn't made by ccoa. Someone just used her CBS
ccoa;217630 said:
I never wrote the EX version. So it's laced with someone else's script by defintion.

I would use her v3.02 which just uses the default menues and all (and is pretty much the same thing) and it should be much easier to add your awsome script.

Hey, could I use that script when you get it working? It's really nice and I like it quite a bit.
