[SM] Editing message boxes.

[Jet3rd]

uhh. How do I do it?

I read this.

I don't really understand it. What am I supposed to do with it? HELP APPRECIATED  :grin:

Smile RF has an integegrated message box editor, which will suffice unless you need to add a button to the box (like displaying that you need to press select to use missiles) or add more message boxes than vanilla

Here, I posted this on the resource thread. Specifically for Smile RF.
56 new messages as is. Way easier than typing every new message.

This patch is for if using SMILE RF.
I personally use due to working from a small laptop & it's features are seperate windows.

Makes life a bit easier by adding native message boxes.
Very simple to add messages now, just read the comments.

$00 is $01 in RF, message $00 in game is NO MESSAGE.

I guess it's my own messenger patch too.
I had the full bank moved to $80 a few months ago, it's gone.

I'll keep it vanilla now.

So I guess I have a problem. I use smile jx. And I don't want to use smile RF at the moment cause it requires an installation, which I would rather not do since I'm using a family computer.

I think I may have found a way to do it with smile jx. If I go to fx1 and edit layer 3 (don't know what it is.) and put in the values I get the message box stuff.
Seems to work for now. Thanks for the help.

I just want to note that the offline version of RF doesn't need any kind of registering files or other installation.

[Jet3rd]

Thanks a lot!  :yay:

I will definitely use smile RF. I didn't know there was an offline version.
