and yeah, i'm using dubealex's Advanced Message System it used to work good, cept i just switched to the legal version not to long ago and now things just started gettin screwed up.... please help me...

 

[alexia]

Moved to rgss support.

 

[Eivien]

Theres nothing inherently wrong with that line of code...
Whats the error message?

 

[Draken]

It would also help more if you gave us the whole block of code, rather than just a line..

Also, you should tell us what scripts you are using that may interfere with the message box and Window_Base.

 

[RpgMakerMaster]

Sometimes the problem can be with a part of the script pointing to the line, not ness. the line itself, Post the script (in a Spoiler please) and then everyone can look to see what may be the problem, as mentioned above the line itself looks good, so its most likely something else internally in the script

[xthexendxhasxcomex]

alright sorry it took awhile i've been away here is the script that the line is from and a list of all of the scripts that i am using in my game. i made the section that gives me the error in window base red.

yes i know im using the illegal version, look at my signature.. it explains why, but i am legal alright. (i promise) lol..

That is the exact order that i have the custom scripts in, in my game, except that the weather script is at the very top of all the scripts, even the original ones.

thanx for the help everyone, let me know what else to do.

 

[SephirothSpawn]

It's a very very simple fix, one included in the SDK 2.2

Below def dispose in Window_Base, add:

  def dispose
    return if self.disposed?

 

[xthexendxhasxcomex]

thanx that helped me alot, i can go into my menu and battle now, but i still dont see any words at all anywhere.
can you help me with that? please!!! lol

 

[SephirothSpawn]

I really don't feel like answering that question again. It has something to do with not using the legal version.

 

[xthexendxhasxcomex]

well then if you dont want to answer it again can you post a link or tell me where you answered the question in the first place, i cant find it.

unless someone else wants to explain to me how to fix this..
i moved all of my scripts and data over to the legal version and thats when i started getting these errors, just trying to make my game work in the legal version without starting the whole thing over, so people dont yell at me and tell me that im not using the legal version, it gets annoying..

thanx for the help before SephirothSpawn but i am using the legal version now and it doesnt show the text, its not a problem of whether or not im using the legal version or not..

 

[SephirothSpawn]

Go into Main

begin
  Font.default_name = 'Font Filename'
  Font.default_size = n

 

[xthexendxhasxcomex]

well thank you for comming back and helping me sephirothspawn.. but i still have some problems, it only fixed on problem, it made it so that the text in the name box shows up.. here are some screens of my game, and you can see what's going on, and below that is my scripts data file, can you please help me fix this, i really appreciate all the work you've done for me so far.. thanx
