[4.5.9] Fix for the the paths and text box issue

[dale_coop]

I just noticed recently that there was a problem with the paths and the textbox:
the path tiles behind the text box do not display properly when the text box closes.



Here's how to fix that issue:

In your "Project Settings > Script Settings", under "Subroutines", select the Handle Draw Box element and click on the "Edit" button:



In that "doDrawBox.asm" script, around lines 215(something), you should see:



Comment out (or remove) the "ReturnBank" line (216) and move it AFTER the "JSR doGetSingleMetaTileValues" line (219).
Should now look like this:



Voilà, now the paths and text box should work correctly:

Hi Dale, do you also know how to center the text?

 

[dale_coop]

To center the text, you just need to do that yourself in the text editor, adding space before the words
(it’s what I did, here)

Oh Wow, hahah maybe i will give it a try

Thanks a million Dale, I can start using my paths again now!

Hey Nesmakers, has anyone figured out how to get monster tiles to redraw correctly after closing text box?
I did some hunting through the forums and didn't see anything. This is the closest I could find on the subject.

I also have that problem. Seems like any tile that change before the text is written goes back to it's original tile graphic when the text box disappears. Did you ever find a solution to this?
