Lingering Text Boxes (or Retro RPG Dialogue)

[kail200x]

So, I'm making a little project for my nephew and I'm doing the dialogues in this style:

Here's me trying to actually replicate it:




(Excuse the poor quality.)

Basically, what I'm looking for is a script that will cause a text box to remain onscreen after it shows at whatever position it's shown at. Text boxes displayed overtop of the lingering text box will erase it, and replace it. This could be done with pictures rather easily also, but well... I'd rather not. xD I was imagining perhaps this could be done with the use of a comment or script line before a certain text box... but, yeah. Is there any way to do this without having to take a bunch of pictures?

If someone wants to write a script for me, I would be most grateful. ^^'

If some sort of trade could be arranged, I also do digital art.

Ahh you want several text windows. This would definitely require a script, as it's not an option in the default RPG Maker. You can request one in the script requests forums.

Ah! Celianna! I didn't know you were on here too. I was on the rpgmakervx.net forums (I think that was the domain?) and saw a lot of your work there. I love your tilesets.

Isn't this the script request subforum...? (Not to be snarky lol)

Bump.

This is the only script I could think of that may be of use, but as the creator stated, there's some issues with it: http://galvs-scripts.com/2012/11/30/double-message/

If you use this, credit Galv.

I'm not sure I'm able to get it to work...

Zerbu_Text Blip Sounds

I'm not quite sure how to execute the script call. I'm trying to do it as it says, but it isn't doing anything.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------##  INSTRUCTIONS:#  Put below materials, above main.#  To create a double message, use this SCRIPT CALL before a normal message:##------------------------------------------------------------------------------##  msg("Text goes in here","Face Name", face_position)#------------------------------------------------------------------------------###  - "Face Name" is the name of the faceset you want a face from, eg "Actor1"#  - face_position is where in that faceset the face you want is. 0 is first#  - "Test goes in here" - this is where it's painful as the script box is very#    small. Each new line in the script box is a new line in the message box#    unless you create multiple strings and add them together.##------------------------------------------------------------------------------# #------------------------------------------------------------------------------##  EXAMPLE 1#------------------------------------------------------------------------------###  msg("This is the text that would appear#  in the script box. As the script box is#  small, it wraps, which will also make#  it wrap in the message window.",#  "Actor1", 0)#
