Question about UMS

[anticasper]

Hi!

I would like to know how to change the progress icon of the message window, to put it in the lower right corner as shown:

How i can do it? i use the UMS script :blush:

You should tell us which UMS script, and just in case, put it here in spoilers. Then someone might be able to help you better. :3

I believe that icon which I call the thing "next message or stop" icon can be edited in the Windowskin. To do that, you have to probably open the windowskin in a image editing program like Paint or GIMP.

I think he's talking about moving the position of the thing "next message or stop" icon to the lower right. XD

Oh, then I have no clue how to help now... O..o
Personally I think the progress button looks weird anywhere butt the middle bottom or top

I think it must be a change in class Window

Sorry for the bump

Yes you will need to re-write the Window class to do this as that cursor is placed there when the contents are greater than a dimension.

While I'm normally not a big fan of cheap fixes for problems, it might actually save some trouble here... just get rid of the arrow altogether (i.e. by making it perfectly transparent by modifying the sprite), and instead draw it just for the Window_Meassage window (need to do this within Scene_Map, and whatever other window uses messages in your project). That way, you can easily set the position of the cursor without having to mess with invisible classes and might end up with a bunch of code instead of the ~10 lines per scene you need this way.

@Seph: That's not quite right... the arrow in the screenshot is the animated message scrolling arrow, which has nothing to do with the overflow indicators ^^ (which also is why my solution won't mess up anything else in your game, as that arrow is only used for messages as far as I know...)
