Easy.

Download ccoa's UMS script. She explains everything there...and you can use any color!

It crashes with the error "File Graphics/Windowskins/talk1 was not found. Also, if I press F2 to preview text, the colour change does not seem to be working...
I'm sorry for being retarded, but I don't know the first thing about code.
All the code seems to be find in Ccoa's demo, though. (found an alternate download)
It looks really impressive, I hope I can make it run!

Okay yeah, you need all the GFX files in one of your graphics folders. Since you have the demo you can check out how it's set up. ^^;

Right. This is where I show my complete disknowledge.
I decided i'd test my hex codes in her demo.
When I added an event, and put a message with "\c[0xcb9913]this is a test" then started it, the game's text was all entirely invisible. So I deleted the event. I tested the game to see what I was missing and the text was STILL invisible. I had to refresh the game to get the text back.
So I figured "the old guy with the example will work! he's already GOT the code!" so I changed his one to cb9913 to test the first of my five custom colours. I start the demo... text is once again invisible, even after I change him back, and I have to refresh the game from a backup again.

What did I do wrong?
