here is the script demo http://www.pcis-studios.com/ccoa/UMS.exe
screen of problem and script can help a lot for us to fix the problem
all i need is to move the position of the text. gave me a min i'll but them up if it helps
in the UMC script..
line 2193
self.contents.draw_text(6 + @x, line * @y, 40, 32, c)
change the 6
ok thanks, i'll check it out later
EDIT: i didnt see any change, is the number ment to go up or down
up... well it worked for me
nope never worked for me. i even put it as 40 so i would def see the differance but nothing happened
I love the windowskin!!
So the actual error itself isn't even the text alignment.
Your windowskin's border is exceeding 32 which is why it 'SEEMS' off. Truthfully, the text is dsplayed in the proper location. I think you may have to take into consideration, that if you alter the default X location of the text, then that means that the text will overflow out the other side of the window.
If you change the X, then you are going to have to be careful with how much text you place on each line of your message box.
**Anyway, let me take a look at the UMS, because I also use it. I am familiar with the script, so I will see if I can find the section that needs to be edited.
It's actually not a windowskin Cal, lol it's an image :P
It shouldn't be too hard to change the x of it...
I see...
However, that doesn't change the problem. The text will still overflow if he isn't careful. Maybe not...
**I will go look now.
**I think I have the solution, hold on.
EDIT:Okay chief...try this...
** This is what Jackolas told you to edit
# Draw text
line = self.contents.text_size("dj").height
if $game_system.shadowed_text
old_color = self.contents.font.color.clone
self.contents.font.color = $game_system.shadow_color
**self.contents.draw_text(6 + @x, line * @y + 2, 40, 32, c)**
self.contents.font.color = old_color
end
self.contents.draw_text(4 + @x, line * @y, 40, 32, c)
Instead, drop down after the end of the method, and change the '4' in the draw_text command on this line
# Draw text
line = self.contents.text_size("dj").height
if $game_system.shadowed_text
old_color = self.contents.font.color.clone
self.contents.font.color = $game_system.shadow_color
self.contents.draw_text(6 + @x, line * @y + 2, 40, 32, c)
self.contents.font.color = old_color
end
**self.contents.draw_text(4 + @x, line * @y, 40, 32, c)**
**Let me know if that works for you or not.
lol, i feel like a noob now, i cant seem to get it to work :^_^':
could you place the changes in the script then send it through sendspace or something.
Hmm...My version of the UMS script is completely customized to fit my game and it's unique features.
You will have to send me 'your' script, which is probably the default version. I can then make the changes and send it back to you.
the demo of the version im using is in the first post
Okay hold on...
How far over do you want it?
It's exactly like I had said earlier. Change the value of the 4.
ok, i'll try to look through it again tommorow.
Well here...

**Here is a copy of the DEMO with the edit. I increased the x by 20, and if it isn't enough, or it's too much. You will have to change it yourself.
see now i def know i was doing it correctly becuse there is no difference with the text with what you gave me so i think one of my scripts some where is messing with it. it looks like i will have to find another way to fix it, even use a different picture. o well thanks for helping
Well, just list all of the scripts that you are using in your game. Someone can tell you if something is causing the issue based on this factor.
ok i use
Custom HUD
Blizz-abs
Tons of Addons
STCMS - Hybrid Edition
zeriabs quest book
ATES
MOG_Animated Title
Chaos Project Save Layout
Tax Script
Cheats Input Script
HoT DoT
Advanced Shop Status Window (put im thinking of changing it to a better looking shop scene)
and about 10 more ( only jokeing :haha: )
thats all my scripts
edit
anouther question how do you stop it from making the show chooses in a seperate box becuase it just looks really bad. i want it to be the defualt way
I can't see anything in that list that should be preventing you from editing the message_x. Hmm...
I don't know what to tell you.
BTW:
To get the show choices command in the same box as the question, is a long and difficult process, Lol. It took me like 2hrs to configure everything perfectly for my game, and I have to make sure that I call a specific common event before choosing the show choices command, or it won't display right.
I suppose I can help you out, but it might be difficult for you to do.
i might as well try, other wise is it wont look good.
im thinking of just requesting a message system. this script is more trouble then its worth
Lol, it sure can be. It wasn't created with organization in mind.
Try to 'Center justify'
that doesnt look write MK but im haveing other issues with now so when i get time i'll post a request for a message system.
Dude, send me your game.
why, im not getting errors with it i just dont like some of the features
Because you said changing the x-coordinate didn't do anything. It should have.
ok i'll send a little demo in min
