Text boxes!

[sutehani]

I'm in the beginning of my game... Basically, it's a bunch of darkness. Whenever I have text appear (it's set to default), the blue box appears for one line, you hit enter, then the actual text appears in a clear box. I just want the text to appear right away in a clear window!

Is there a way I can event the window-skin to change to something to suit the mood of the area, then change to something else later? Either that, or a script... Though, I'm not very good with scripts.

Doesn't VX have the "change message style" option in the event window?

I've heard it doesn't, but I'm not sure.
I don't use VX either, but if the default scripts are similar to XP, you could try calling a script to change "$game_system.windowskin_name".
Eg:

$game_system.windowskin_name = "002-Blue02"

That option has been removed.
I'll see if I can get it to work.
EDIT: Nah sorry, my small ammount of RGSS2 can't do this.

Your first text event is probably set to normal window.  Change it to transparent and you're set.

That is the first screen shot, right after I hit "new game" in startup.

That is what shows up once I hit enter.

It says "test" because I deleted the old event, thinking I simply messed up, and made a new one. It STILL wasn't working. And, yes, I selected "transparent" both times through.

This is the ONLY thing in it's event.

FYI: Running Windowblinds on Vista, that's why the play-screen is off-center. =3

and there isn't another event running some where that is putting up that first blank text box of your's?  Check your map for one.  Check all the processes that are running before it for a text command you left behind.  There is no reason this should be happening other than that.

Ugh! I feel so stupid now. Thanks so much! It was one of the ghosts that was a parallell process... I completely missed it @_@
