Thank you in advice.

By the looks of things, this is quite a bit like the mail system in Crisis Core, yes?

G_G

Actually yea it is. :D Never realized it til now xD

The Niche

Well done, G_G, this is awesome. For it, I shall consent to being your slave. But you should change the line in your signature to "Is Niche's master"
I might use it at some point, but I think my game has enough scripts in it for the minute.

Ah, excellent.  You liked my amusing sideshow, yes?  I'm just a simple fool, my wit entertains the wise, and my wisdom fools the fools.



I'm like the bible, widely hated and beautifully quotable.

stripe103

This is really nice. I don't know if I'm going to use it though, maybe, but I have a feature idea for those who are.
Just as in GTA IV, there could be a Positive Reply and a Negative Reply. And also two call scripts, one for checking if you got an email and one for checking if you have replied to one.

Just an idea, nothing you have to do :D

element

Ur really a great scripter...
U should make a mail system for RMX-os so u can send mails to other players online in ur friend list or somethin  :P

Actually, in me and subs project, I planned on replacing the way you read pms with this. You'll still sends pm's through the chatbox but this way you can read them.
Also planned on making a buddys list for our game.

Other planned things if you care:
Server Status - Tells whether server is on or off (done)
Online Users List - Shows whos online (almost done)
Buddys List
New Inbox
Animation Chat Commands - Type in /sit it'll change your graphic to a sitting one.
Vehicles
Costumes
Minigames

I think I've said too much.

Blizzard

That's something different. That would be wrapping up the PM system and putting it on a GUI. I am all for it.

I bet. :V:

That said, you could try doing another version of this, like the phone in pokemon or something else you might happen to come up with.

Is it possible to activate any type of switch/variable when the player open a particular PM? If possible, how can I do that (Call Script, editing the script, other?)?

Good work however, level ++! ;)

G_G

Updated.
@Nadim: I updated it so you can now use this in a conditional branch
$game_party.mail_read?(id)


If its been read you can turn on a switch or whatever you need. ;D Thanks for the idea

Thank you man! Tomorrow I'll try this script and I'll decide to use it or not. Thanks, however! ;)

Okay, it's working. I'm getting this to work slowly xD
LEVEL ME DOWN. THE ANTI-BLIZZ GROUP IS AMONG YOU... Do it for the chick below...She watches..<br />

LiTTleDRAgo

this is very nice script but I can't use command like \n[1] or \v[1] in mail box
well, that isn't much matter for me but for suggestion, can you add a function like that in your script? ^^

Mimi Chan

Nice script *.*
Would it be more cool if npc has the ability of sending you items/gold as well *.*
What's a sig?

Nice script *.*

you could do that manually in event

script : $scene = Scene_Mail.new
change gold : + 400000


so after you close the mail, you'll receive 400000 G
