VNR with RPG Maker games, randomly not working

[Kuboxy]

I've been using VNR with some VNs and RPG Maker games. VNs are working fine, and RPG Makers games were fine at first.

Basically yesterday I was playing a game and everything was fine. I finished that game, so I close it, go through my folder, find a new one to play, launch it : No subtitle box. I assume it's a weird compatibility error, don't care much for it. Launch and old game I had started a while ago : No subtitle box. Now there's already something wrong, as that one used to work fine, so I go back to the one I had literally just finished : No subtitle box. My VNs are still working fine however, but VN'S are usually a tad heavier on the read side of things, so having access to both types of games is pretty important to me.

Does anyone have similar problems? If so how do you deal with it? I'mma try reinstalling, but even if it worked, that's only a temporary solution, if anyone knows the cause that'd be great. I'm sorry if it'S actually a pretty simple issue, I'm not that knowledgeable about VNR, or anything related to machine translators.

Use ITH or ITHVNR.  VNR is screwy sometimes in general.

I'd give it a shot, but for some reason Hongfire is not letting me download Aggregator. I'll try a bit later, hopefully with some success.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't prefer VNR, at least as far as full screen functionality goes, though it's better than not getting any translation at all.

There are RPG Maker games which do not rely on the default RPG Maker routine for printing out text which is being captured by text hookers. Nothing you can do except decrypting and rewriting the script. Which is something that some people are actually doing.

I don't know why VNR stopped working. Maybe there are some hidden settings which were changed when you hooked the other game? Have you looked in Text Settings whether the threads are spawning or not?

Regarding your preference of VNR because of full screen support: If you play your games in a virtual machine, full screen is no problem for any text hooker. I use ITH with full screen all the time.

No threads are spawning at all, so I'm guessing that was the problem. The VNR help wiki is not exactly helpful at fixing it though.
