Keyboard-Controlled Name Input Script

[Aeiras]

For some reason, no matter if I hit shift or caps lock, I can't seem to get uppercase letters, and I copied the scripts verbatim. Advice?

My only guess'd be that you have another keyboard than the norm US- or German-ones, because it apparently works on those. I can also confirm it works with laptop keyboards perfectly, as I'm using one myself. I don't think this is a fault of my script, you only might've deletes the shift-asking conditional... which is rather unlikely, if you haven't changed the script intentionally... conclusion: I have no idea ^_^

 

[Aeiras]

It's a standard US keyboard on a laptop, and I haven't changed anything in the script. Let me try it in a new project maybe?

*EDIT* Works in a new project, and I tried re-copying and pasting the code, but still no go. Does this work with different fonts and CMS'?

 

[BlueScope]

Fonts and CMS' shouldn't be the problem... well, of course, if you have a lowercase-only font, that'd be your reason... ^_^ I seriously have no idea what script could've caused this, because I'd say you need to modify Input.downcase / Input.upcase definitions to get to the problem you have, which are hidden classes and absolutely pointless to change... as it appears to surely be a scripting problem, though, you might post a list of what scripts you have applied to your project and I'll see what I can guess from that...

In my keyboard i need to change the Input.press?(Input::Shift) to Input.trigger?(Input::shift) so that could work..

 

[BlueScope]

That makes no sense to me... I used Input.press? to check if the key is pressed ATM the letter is returned, to make it work like the default PC/MAC/whatever shift key... I can't see how Input.trigger? could have the same effect. You also used the default Input methods, not the cybersam-ones (triggered?, pressed?), was that intentionally?

 

[Aeiras]

Found it, I had a different Input module in there still from an old ABS, so I guess you can put a note or something that it is not compatible with Input Script 2.0 by Cybersam, edited by Astro_mech and Mr. Mo.

Thanks for the help though!

Ok, this is weird. I put the scripts in their proper places, but when I bring my game window up, the first thing it does is show different window with the following:


????? 'Name_Input' ? 8 ??? Typeerror ????????

undefined superclass ` Window_Base'


I click on 'OK', then the error and game windows both close out. Am I doing something wrong?

 

[BlueScope]

Yeah, you're most likely using an illegal version... but because I'm not sure: Try the script in a new project and tell me what happens...

Hey there, Blue! Sorry to necropost, but I need you to make this script compatable with at least 14 characters, as a special system is used in my game that needs that much. Thanks for understanding and I hope you can fix it. :3

 

[BlueScope]

I can't imagine a name-based system nor a 14-lettered name, nor is this a very friendly kind to request , but I'm working on other scripts ATM... mainly my language script. I'll see what I can do for you if I have the time, though.

EDIT: Done XD Ask next time or I'll script ya blind

something is wrong
the character name didnt "Realy" changed
the're is a bug...

 

[BlueScope]

Well, I'm pretty sure it works, as I tested it... maybe you use X and C instead of Esc and Enter/Space, and exchanged them, so you accidentially pressed X instead, and therefore left the name enter screen without a change being noticed. I can't imagine anything else, so if it wasn't that, please tell me what you did...

 

[Victor Souza]

O.O
I finded the bug
it was in my game
an event putting Hero01 in the group
I'm sorry
Thanks

I know it's been a couple of months since the last reply, but I have a question. If the player can choose any name they want, how do I make it so that when NPCs mention the main character's name, it's the name the player chose. I assume there is some call script event or something to be put into the text box.

 

[BlueScope]

There indeed is one, though it depends on the message system you use... it should be something like \n[actor_id] for the default system coming with RMXP, though I'm not sure about it...

 

[Darkly0990]

Yes, it worked perfectly! Thank you very much.

 

[soulcube]

Well it worked fine...why is the Box belated in typing? when type the box isn't in the Correct place where the letter is inputted in the screen? and why can't i enter alphanumerical numbers and letters? like ? - *123456789 and other symbols and signs...

 

[BlueScope]

For the most of your post, I don't know what you're talking about... but for the numerical values and numbers: Those aren't included, for the simple reason that it'd mean more work for me for a technically unneeded feature, as names usually don't have numbers or symbols in them.
