[Resolved] Trouble with sprites/bitmaps

[Ulqiorra]

I have been working on a game in RMXP, that does NOT use the default systems(Game_Whatever, Scene_Whatever), and I have in the past been able to display a bitmap on the screen with this:

 

sprite = Sprite.new

sprite.bitmap = Bitmap.new(640,480)

sprite.bitmap.draw_text(5,5,144,32,"Hello World!")

 

but it hasn't been working on my new computer.

my code is:

 

begin

  # Prepare for transition

  Graphics.freeze

  sprite = Sprite.new(Viewport.new(0, 0, 640, 480))

  sprite.bitmap = Bitmap.new(640, 480) #RPG::Cache.icon('001-Weapon01')

  sprite.bitmap.draw_text(0,0,144,32,"Hello world!")

  sprite.x = sprite.y = 200

  loaded = 0

  loop do

    Graphics.update

    loaded += 1

    #break if loaded > 999

  end

  # Make scene object (title screen)

  #$scene = Scene_Title.new

  # Call main method as long as $scene is effective

  while $scene != nil

    $scene.main

  end

  # Fade out

  Graphics.transition(20)

rescue Errno::ENOENT

  # Supplement Errno::ENOENT exception

  # If unable to open file, display message and end

  filename = $!.message.sub("No such file or directory - ", "")

  print("Unable to find file #{filename}.")

end

 

I got it now. Wanna see what this helped me do?

You may have a japanese dll(RGSS102J.dll), which makes the default font to be one in japanese. Use a english dll(RGSS102E), or try using at the start of main:

Font.default_name = "Arial"

Or maybe "Graphics.freeze" is freezing the screen, and you need to call Graphics.transition to unfreeze the screen and the graphics to be updated. I don't remember well how freeze worked, but try adding Graphics.transition before the loop do.

I'll try it, thanks.

EDIT: It worked! Thank you, you are a genius!
