Comaptibility needed for this script, Shanghai's fancy deaths Options

[Viewer]

I have Shanghai's fancy deaths script, but it's not compatible with Takentai. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!
Here's the script.

CODE

#======================================================================
=========
#
# Shanghai Simple Script - Fancy Deaths
# Last Date Updated: 2010.05.09
# Level: Normal
#
# This makes certain enemies die a fancy way if they have the fancy death tags
# inside of their notebox. These were made for the default animations. If you
# are using different animations, you can change the IDs these fancy deaths use.
# Works for default battle system, Battle Engine Melody, and Tankentai.
#===============================================================================
# Instructions
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# To install this script, open up your script editor and copy/paste this script
# to an open slot below ▼ Materials but above ▼ Main. Remember to save.
#
# <fancy death: string>
# Replace string with one of the ones below:
# fire - Makes the enemy die in a fancy fiery death.
# ice - Makes the enemy freeze and die.
# elec - Makes the enemy spark and die.
# water - Makes the enemy melt and die.
# stone - Makes the enemy change to stone.
# wind - Makes the enemy vanish with the wind.
# holy - Makes the enemy disappear into light.
# dark - Makes the enemy disappear into darkness.

You know, you don't need to post the script - you can just post a link to the topic. And this belongs to the Script Support section, so moving it.

To answer your question, noteboxes are those large white squares in the database where you can input text -with "Note" as title. In the case of Fancy Deaths, you need to use them on the "Enemies" tab (it is located right of the Action Patterns selector) and input this:

CODE

<fancy death: string>

Where "string" can be fire, ice, elec, water, stone, wind, holy or dark.

AAAA... Oh... Ehh. Me like big white rectangle in enemies tab. Yap, yap, yap. Like like like

Ok, I'm just kiddin'. I know what a notebox is. And I know what I'm supposed to write in it. But it didn't work. Also I'm using Takentai.
I noticed if I put it in a clean project it works just fine. I guess I'll just have to check all my scripts and maybe I can find the problem.
I just hoped someone would know something about this.

Can you tell me if it could be Takentai?
Thanks.

Pretty much all of Shanghai's scripts are incompatible with Tankentai. They're made for Melody, in spirit.

[Viewer]

Well, maybe someone knows a solution. I won't close the post just yet.
