Title: Question on the Message Box
Post by: Zerlina on August 24, 2006, 07:56:16 PM

Is there a way to make a fullscreen message box?

If not, does anyone have a suggestion for what I could do instead-

I have a scene where a character finds a letter inside a book, and another scene where he can read a book of scriptures. Instead of just having the message scroll in the little box, I wanted to make it look more book-like/letter-like.

I thought of using a fullscreen picture, but because the quality and resolution will be reduced, I think it will be hard to read.

What I wanted to do was have a picture (semi transparent) of parchment paper show up over the screen and have the text come up like a message. The only problem is I can't figure out how to make it full screen.

Thanks for any help.

Unfortunately, you can't modify the default message box in any way other than changing systems. You'll have to use a picture.
But, if you want to make it look like a fullscreen message box, you could put the text into RM messages, PrntScreen them in-game, and paste them on Paint. Repeat until you have the full text. For the message box, just PrntScreen an empty message box and resize it.

EDIT: Btw, it's okay to have multiple questions in one thread.

Oh sorry about the question thing...

Thanks for the help. I just ended up putting something tha tlooks like writing behind the default message box, and changed the font colour so you can tell it's a letter.


Ok new question ^^.


I have a part where you can read a book and there are choices for which chapter to read from. After the chapter, I want it to go back to the index, but I'm not sure how. Because it's done with choices i don't see how I could use a loop.
