Hello, I got a problem with Rm2k.

Whenever I use dialog, there's these two lines in the input field which I presume indicate where the text is supposed to cut off, one for when you're using a faceset and one for when you're not using one.

Anyway, one of my dialogs uses a faceset but stays perfectly clear of the first line, but still it cuts off the last three words or so.

Is there a way to fix this?

I always just ignored the lines and made an imaginary one where the text would cut off usually.

Yeah I do that too now, but I always thought there was a patch or fix or something to make the lines more accurate

There is a patch for RMXP but I don't recall one for 2k/3.

Apparently the David or Golith patches may do this- In the mean time i Suggest Rmtext.

Open your RPG2000.exe using Resource Hacker (google it) and go to RCDATA => TFORMEVCMD10110 => 0.

Then, replace the text in the right pane with the following:

inherited FormEvCmd10110: TFormEvCmd10110
  Caption = 'Message'
  ClientHeight = 116
  ClientWidth = 425
  OldCreateOrder = True
  OnCreate = FormCreate
  OnShow = FormShow
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 12
  object TabControl1: TTabControl
    Left = 8
    Top = 8
    Width = 409
    Height = 69
    TabOrder = 0
    TabStop = False
    object FixedMemo1: TFixedMemo
      Left = 8
      Top = 10
      Width = 392
      Height = 50
      Cursor = crIBeam
      Font.Charset = EASTEUROPE_CHARSET
      Font.Color = clWindowText
      Font.Height = -10
      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 = 238
      Top = 12
      Width = 1
      Height = 50
      Cursor = crIBeam
      Opaque = True
      Color = clAppWorkSpace
      TabOrder = 1
      OnMouseDown = LineMouseDown
      OnPaint = LinePaint
    end
    object Line2: TOpaquePaintBox
      Left = 310
      Top = 12
      Width = 1
      Height = 50
      Cursor = crIBeam
      Opaque = True
      Color = clBtnShadow
      TabOrder = 2
      OnMouseDown = LineMouseDown
      OnPaint = LinePaint
    end
  end
  object ButtonOk: TButton
    Left = 136
    Top = 84
    Width = 89
    Height = 25
    Caption = 'OK'
    Default = True
    ModalResult = 1
    TabOrder = 1
    OnClick = ButtonOkClick
  end
  object ButtonCancel: TButton
    Left = 232
    Top = 84
    Width = 89
    Height = 25
    Cancel = True
    Caption = 'Cancel'
    ModalResult = 2
    TabOrder = 2
  end
  object ButtonHelp: TButton
    Left = 328
    Top = 84
    Width = 89
    Height = 25
    Cancel = True
    Caption = 'Help'
    TabOrder = 3
    OnClick = ButtonHelpClick
  end
end

Now, click "Compile Script", then File => Save and exit.
