RM2K3 Message Box Limits

[DrazardX]

Since RPG Advocate said he was never going to add the lmits i decided to post how to do it.

1. Go to www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/ and download Resource Hacker.
2. Open Resource Hacker and open RPG Maker 2003 in it.
3. Uncheck RCData and then uncheck TFORMEVCMD10110.
4. Click the "0" next to the icon and change the text so it looks like the text below, by either copying and pasting the entire text below or just change the words and numbers in white...

inherited FormEvCmd10110: TFormEvCmd10110
Caption = 'Message'
ClientHeight = 141
ClientWidth = 425
OldCreateOrder = True
OnCreate = FormCreate
OnShow = FormShow
PixelsPerInch = 96
TextHeight = 12
object TabControl1: TTabControl
Left = 8
Top = 8
Width = 409
Height = 94
TabOrder = 0
TabStop = False
object FixedMemo1: TFixedMemo
Left = 8
Top = 10
Width = 392
Height = 75
Cursor = crIBeam
Font.Charset = EASTEUROPE_CHARSET
Font.Color = clWindowText
Font.Height = -12
Font.Name = 'Lucida Console'
Font.Style = []
ParentFont = False
TabOrder = 0
OnChange = FixedMemo1Change
OnExit = FixedMemo1Exit
OnKeyDown = FixedMemo1KeyDown
OnMouseMove = FixedMemo1MouseMove
OnCancel = FixedMemo1Cancel
OnCtrlReturn = FixedMemo1CtrlReturn
end
object Line1: TOpaquePaintBox
Left = 276
Top = 15
Width = 1
Height = 50
Cursor = crIBeam
Opaque = True
Color = clAppWorkSpace
TabOrder = 1
OnMouseDown = LineMouseDown
OnPaint = LinePaint
end
object Line2: TOpaquePaintBox
Left = 361
Top = 15
Width = 1
Height = 50
Cursor = crIBeam
Opaque = True
Color = clBtnShadow
TabOrder = 2
OnMouseDown = LineMouseDown
OnPaint = LinePaint
end
end
object ButtonOk: TButton
Left = 136
Top = 109
Width = 89
Height = 25
Caption = 'OK'
Default = True
ModalResult = 1
TabOrder = 1
OnClick = ButtonOkClick
end
object ButtonCancel: TButton
Left = 232
Top = 109
Width = 89
Height = 25
Cancel = True
Caption = 'Cancel'
ModalResult = 2
TabOrder = 2
end
object ButtonHelp: TButton
Left = 328
Top = 109
Width = 89
Height = 25
Cancel = True
Caption = 'Help'
TabOrder = 3
OnClick = ButtonHelpClick
end
end

5. Click "Compile Script"
6. Click Save or press CTRL+S
7. You can delete the back-up file that should appear in the rm2k3 folder if you want.(RPG 2003_original)

I've posted how to do this before, but the limits were wrong and i needed to change the font.

:)wasts limits?/////////// ;D

[Nanotechmonkey]

Even I wasn't like this
Limits are how much text you can write in a box. RM2K was screwed up so only part of the text was shown.

Now, Drazard... Is this SURE to work? I'm not an expert at "hacking resources" and so I've no way to confirm that this works. Does this HAVE to be with RPG Advocate's fonts, (Something about those darn letters, they aren't spaced well.) or could it be done with RM2K's fonts. Also, have you tested this?

[ObviousDelirium]

Or just download the patch for Don's fonts.
Easier and no chances of messing up rm2k3.

Omg, liek, post once more Fire Knght, adn ul av teh ultamaet 2500 post! OMG!!!!11

Anyways, yeah, the patch is better, cause its so easy to make a mistake doing that.

I've done this several times, there is nothing to worry about. After you copy the text will be blue, but it will be back to normal once you click "Compile Script". If you want you can only change the text in white, but it makes no difference. All this hacking does is move 2 objects and change the font. This hack doesn't affect the in-game fonts, it just moves the lines in the messagebox so you know where to stop typing and go to the next line. Only use this changes on RPG Advocate's translation of RM2K3, because the limits on the other translations may be different.
