Problem with Text Boxes (Yanfly Message)

[MegaDoomerX3]

Until recently, the message system provided by Yanfly has been great but suddenly I'm having this happen: (see picture)


Anyone know how to fix this?

Best Guess? You forgot to configure the messaging script correctly and accidentally commanded the script to reduce the message window to zero lines and zero width.


You need to configure the script by editing the numbers for the default size variables (one of the functions is to change the size of the message windows based on two variable values) and then name those variables to make sure that you'll never use them for anything else.


If you forget to do that and use the configured variables for anything else, and set them to zero with the control variable command, then your screenshot is the result - the tiny white line center bottom is all that remains from your message window.


NEVER ignore any script after placing it in your script editor - you always need to read it for its configuration and make sure that everything is set to the correct numbers.


I've moved this thread to Script Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.



If my guess is wrong, please provide a link to yanfly's page with the script description and post your configuration of the script here.

Yep, that fixed it. I've already used up enough variables to cause an issue with the script. Though, it does make me wonder why variables 21 and 22 were used for the script.

Some numbers need to be used - and there are problems with using variables 1 as a lot of scripts already do that.


And it should not matter as people should read the scripts they're using and reconfigure their numbers to unused variables.
