MESSAGE BOX WAIT

Posts

Pages: 1
I'm almost complete my rolling hp system ala earthbound, the only problem I'm having is that whenever a battle message is displayed like "\n attacks!\^" the rolling will momentarily pause.

notice I am using the autoclose on the textboxs so you cant just let it sit there and pause your rolling indefinitley.

is there any method or patch that can remove this wait during a messagebox display?
Are you using pictures for the rolling numbers? I'm pretty sure there's a cherry patch that has pictures display while a message is displaying.
Yeah I'm using pictures, and I'll have to look around for that patch, it sounds like just what I'm looking for, I didn't see it in the helpful things document though
If it's made by Cherry chances are you can find it here.

Edit:
These are the patches you are looking for. Unfortunately this is one of the few patch sets that is both completely written in German and has no actual English documentation. Google translate should probably let you make it out enough to apply the right patch though.

You don't want that one, you want the Unlockpics patch. It's not on that website.

Normally, RPG Maker halts event processing at a show/move/erase picture command when a message box is active. This patch deactivates this behavior. So you are able to create animated faces and much more. Just run the patcher and patch your RPG_RT.EXE file.

Very simple process, just go to your game folder and select the exe. Happy game making.
It has the unlock pics patch as one of the options, according to the German documentation. That's probably easier though!
Thanks everyone, worked like a charm. Hopefully this won't mess up anything I've already coded outside the battle system with messages, but I doubt that it will.
