[RMXP] Scrolling Text Error

Hello all. I am experimenting with the scrolling text script created by dubealex and then edited by DerVVulfman. I copy/pasted the copy and followed the manual closely, however, once my player touches the event, I get an error that reads "unable to find file section089: 158: in 'readline'/'text/test.rxdata." Um... what??... My txt file is only 2 lines long, as it was just a test.txt, so I'm confused about what this error is.

Also, I apologize for not posting alongside the actual script on creationaslyumn, but even though I have an account, they keep telling me I don't have permission to reply to posts. Or download the demo. :-/ So hopefully someone can help me out here?... Thanks in advance!

I've tried duplicating the problem and the only thing that it doesn't do that the documentation says is that the extension can be omitted for a Text_Scroller instance not just the Book. It gave me the error you described above. So when creating a Text_Scroller instance.
Code:
Text_Scroller.new("text.txt", 0, 0, 2, 0)
it didn't accept:
Code:
Text_Scroller.new("text", 0, 0, 2, 0)

It doesn't need to be rxdata although I changed the extension from .txt to .rxdata and there were no problems. So there is only one other thing I can think of. Are you using notepad to create these files?

Ugh it's still giving me the same error even when I copy/pasted your example right in. I am using notepad, and putting it as a "script" event. Sounds like it's time for me to just throw in the towel and look for another script that hopefully encompasses books. Thanks anyway!!
 
Are you using the book scroller or the other one?

If you're trying to show books, it looks like you need to have an extra folder inside "Text", with the name of the book you're showing.
