So while I was updating my Bestiary Script (http://bigaceworld.wordpress.com/rgss/custom-scenes/ace-scene_bestiaryrmxp/), I ran into this error while I was trying to create a
way into text files into my code.
module ACE
module Bestiary
def self.get_text(mode, file_id)
# Opens a text document, makes an array whose elements consist of the
lines
# of the document, and returns it.
case mode
when 0 then filename = "Data/Bio/#{file_id}.txt"
when 1 then filename = "Data/Battle/#{file_id}.txt"
end
begin
file = File.open(filename, 'r')
rescue
case mode
when 0 then return 'A fearsome foe'
when 1 then return 'No battle data found'
end
end
book = []
file.each_line {|line| book << line}
file.close
return book
end
end
end
As you see in this code, its function is to open text files in either the Bio or Battle folders
and if the file doesn't exist, then it would print the strings instead.
class Window_BestiaryStatus < Window_Base
def draw_enemy_bio
refresh
unless $game_album.enemy_blacklisted?(@enemy.id)
2.times {|i| draw_horz_line(15+(i*200),self.width)}
self.contents.font.color, self.contents.font.size = system_color, 20
self.contents.draw_text(x=4, 25, self.width, 32, ALBUM_VOCAB
[:biography], 0)
self.contents.draw_text(x, 225, self.width, 32, ALBUM_VOCAB[:tactics],
0)
draw_bio_info(x, 50, normal_color)
draw_ability_info(x, 250, normal_color)
else
draw_horz_line(15, self.width)
fontsize = self.contents.font.size = 50
self.contents.draw_text(0, 64, 600, fontsize, BLACKLIST_QUOTE)
end
end
def draw_bio_info(x, y, color)
contents.font.color, contents.font.size = color, 18
text = contents.slice_text(ACE::Bestiary.get_text(0, @enemy.id), 588)
text.each_index {|i| contents.draw_text(x, (y)+i*20, 604, 32, text[i],
BIO_ALIGN)}
end
def draw_ability_info(x, y, color)
contents.font.color, contents.font.size = color, 18
text = contents.slice_text(ACE::Bestiary.get_text(1, @enemy.id), 588)
text.each_index {|i| contents.draw_text(x, (y)+i*20, 604, 32, text[i],
SKILL_ALIGN)}
end
end
This script is where the get_text goes to from the module above. Here it's supposed to input
the opened text file and display it on the screen from methods draw_bio_info and
draw_ability_info. The error is coming from the Bitmap.slice_text message which I'm about to
get to.
class Bitmap
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# * Slice Text Method
# Author: Blizzard
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
def slice_text(text, width)
words = text.split(' ')
return words if words.size == 1
result, current_text = [], words.shift
words.each_index do |i|
if self.text_size("#{current_text} #{words[i]}").width > width
result << current_text
current_text = words[i]
else current_text = "#{current_text} #{words[i]}"
end
result << current_text if i >= words.size - 1
end
return result
end
end
This script is blizzards slice_text method, where it breaks the paragraph to new lines, and
this is where the error is coming from.
Okay for the actually issue, for some reason whenever I try to get the script to open a text file I get this error.

However, if I was just to input a string, I don't get this error. I'm most likely doing something wrong with the input, but I can't really tell, so I need another set of eyes to show me how to fix this error that might just be pretty obvious.
If anymore info is need I'll post it.
file.each_line {|line| book << line}
You're telling it to store the lines of strings into an array. Then, you are trying to pass this array into the slice_text method. The parameter
text needs to be a string.
Like so:
file.each_line {|line| book << line}
book = book.join(" ")
:^_^': :facepalm: I knew it would be something simple thx, this has been killing me all day.
