Problems with Text Width in UMS?

[Prussia13 1]

Hi! I just started using Ccoa's UMS script in my RPG Maker XP game, but I noticed a few problems with the text width... I probably should explain more.

 

The UMS script allows you to put facesets in, so that's what I did, but when I use a normal message box with no faceset (after I erased the graphic), the text won't move all the way to the end of the box. There's a great big gap of emptiness to the right that shouldn't be there.

 

Is there any way to solve this? If I can help it, I really don't want all that space there.

 

Thanks in advance. :)

 

Oh yeah, plus, is there any way to move the message box all the way to the bottom of the screen? Mine just hovers above the bottom, close but not quite at the edge.

 

Thanks!

For your first problem, try using \tl to align the text to the left.

I tried to do that just to see if it would work, but that's not the problem. Here, I'll post an image of what's wrong...

The text is aligned all the way to the left is the problem. There's a big space to the right... I was trying to get that space out. It's not noticeable when you use facesets for main characters, but when you're talking to NPC's, it's rather disturbing and looks rough and unplanned.

 

Thanks for the tip, though.

hm...that looks normal to me. I know it looks terrible though.

\m will switch between fit window to text, and normal mode

you can also center the text with \tc, but that might look worse. That little arrow in the "show text" window is the problem though.

by default, any text pass that arrow is cut off. it's really stupid. some scripts will let you ignore it though. not sure if this one does or not.

Ah, that's awful. Is there any way to alter the script to move the arrow down further?

 

Thanks anyways, Bob.

The arrow is in the coding of the program itself, so it can't be removed.

as for your second problem, I can't seem to figure it out. Changing line 794, which looks like it would be it, doesn't seem to do anything, sorry :(

Okay, thanks Bob, I just bumped up the size of my text and it'll fit now. Thanks!
