Avery submitted a new resource:

Carmaniac's Speech Bubble Script for v18 - Blah blah blah

Since I noticed Carmaniac's Speech Bubbles script wasn't compatible with v18, I've decided to update it!

Instructions:
1) Download the files and place the images in the corresponding folders of Essentials, while ignoring the PokemonMessages text file.

2) In the Settings script section, add a new line add with $Bubble = 0

3) Next, in the SpriteWindow script, on line 13, under DARKTEXTSHADOW, add this:
BUBBLETEXTBASE = Color.new(22,22,22)...
Click to expand...

Syntax error is raised during compilation for Line 15 on default V18:
:credits => "Carmaniac","Avery","Boonzeet",

I just replaced it with "Carmaniac and Avery and Boonzeet" and it's fine from there.

Correct syntax for crediting multiple people is ["Person 1", "Person 2", "Person 3"]

Hi! new here :) Type 2 works fine but type 1 doesn't center above the event.. is it supposed to be like that or have I missed something?

Is there a way to have the speech bubbles point to the player? The only way I've found is to have an event on the same spot that moves with the player.

With any error text ...

This is the error with plain text:

=================

[2021-06-07 10:34:36 +0200]
[Pokémon Essentials version 19.1]
[EBDX v1.1.6]

Exception: NameError
Message: uninitialized constant MessageConfig :: WindowOpacity

Backtrace:

And this is instead the error it encounters when running the pbCallBub script:

Can you help me?

Here's a quick edit to get it work in v19.1 (no need to credit me). Note: this won't work in base v19 because of a name change for one of the MessageConfig constants, but all you'd need to do is replace WINDOW_OPACITY with WindowOpacity in the script.
It should be easy to make use of the new Plugins folder for this as well.

I've never had this issue before in v18, but I recently started a new project in v20 and I've been hit with this error when trying to call for the speech bubble:
