RPGXP "X Menu" Support, Error with Custom Menu script Options

[Avarius]

Hi folks,

I tried importing a custom menu script called "X Menu", however whenever I try to access the menu in-game I get the error "no implicit conversion from nil to integer" for line 253 "self.contents.font.size = $fontsize". I have tried putting a "#" before the line, but then it gets stuck on the following line that involves font size. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Here's the script if you need to look it over

Sounds like fontsize doesn't have a value.
Before that line or before you open the menu, try to have a line or script call that says

CODE

$fontsize = 18

Unbelievable. That's all it took. Thank you Stripe. Everything is working well now

Love this community

It seems that script was created for first japanese version of RMXP.

RGSS100J.dll hasn't a default font for bitmaps, and as a result in the 1.0 version's Main script there were these two global variables:

CODE

$fontface = "Arial"
$fontsize  = 24

This allowed the maker to change default font in a simple way, but was later removed in the 1.02 English version, since RGSS102E.dll included a default bitmap font module.
Many old scripts employed these two variables, however.

Jens, the depth of your scripting knowledge always astounds me. I want you as a sponsor!

Anyway thanks for your input on my post

Thanks, but I'm just a spare-time-scripter who has great interest in deeply understanding things.

BTW, this is the one thing which changes from one version to another one.
If you search for the first RMXP scripts architecture (which - alas! - is the one employed even by cracked versions), you'll find it is exaclty as it is ATM, with those two variables and with these two lines below each Window class initialize.

CODE

self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32,height -32)
#the two lines I referred to
self.contents.font.name = $fontface
self.contents.font.size = $fontsize

Jens, mind if I PM you with scripting questions in the future?
