Hi guys,
This may seem like a basic scripting fix for most of you, but I've been looking all over and can't seem to find a guide specifically for this problem.
I've tried playing around the scripts but can't seem to fix this, so either I'm doing it wrong, missing something, or a running script is interfering with my changes. All I want to know how to do is move and resize the message window that appears when talking to characters. If someone could offer some assistance, or even direct me to where I can find the answer, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Full Version: Message window
Ok, then...
1. To modify Message_Window size:
In initialize method
modify this line:
this way:
2. However, Window y is set by another method:
You should modify the line commented in order to move the Window.
I hope this is what you need.

1. To modify Message_Window size:
In initialize method
CODE
def initialize
super(80, 304, 480, 160)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
self.visible = false
self.z = 9998
@fade_in = false
@fade_out = false
@contents_showing = false
@cursor_width = 0
self.active = false
self.index = -1
end
super(80, 304, 480, 160)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width - 32, height - 32)
self.visible = false
self.z = 9998
@fade_in = false
@fade_out = false
@contents_showing = false
@cursor_width = 0
self.active = false
self.index = -1
end
modify this line:
CODE
super(80, 304, 480, 160)
this way:
CODE
super(new_x, new_y, new_width, new_height)
2. However, Window y is set by another method:
CODE
def reset_window
if $game_temp.in_battle
self.y = 16
else
case $game_system.message_position
when 0 # up
self.y = 16
when 1 # medium height
self.y = 160
when 2 # bottom
self.y = 304
end
end
if $game_system.message_frame == 0
self.opacity = 255
else
self.opacity = 0
end
self.back_opacity = 160
end
if $game_temp.in_battle
self.y = 16
else
case $game_system.message_position
when 0 # up
self.y = 16
when 1 # medium height
self.y = 160
when 2 # bottom
self.y = 304
end
end
if $game_system.message_frame == 0
self.opacity = 255
else
self.opacity = 0
end
self.back_opacity = 160
end
You should modify the line commented in order to move the Window.
I hope this is what you need.

Thank you Jens for your prompt, and very clear assistance. I was able to follow your instructions but nothing changed, so I was certain that it must be a conflicting script. I moved UMS under the Main line and suddenly my changes to Message_Window worked as expected.
You've been a big help. Thank you!
