Loving this one, it's pretty usefull for any visual novel or rpg game one may want to make.
(wich is what I plan ) and I like the RM's windowskin compatibility, wich is always a plus.

Learn to read error messages. It says "in joycon", the moan library is not the issue. Check for that < operator

sorry wrong error log i already deleted the joycon library

That means that the "speak" function of Moan is nil (not a function or doesn't exist). Try browsing the Moan file and search for the "speak" variable

Actually, aftwr checking the repo. It should be

```
local Moan = require("moan")
```

Not

```
require("moan")
```

```

Not

```
require("moan")

I checked it too and Moan.lua declares a global Moan table. OP's Moan.speak call should work as is with the current Moan.lua from the repo.

Code: Select all

require('Moan')
Moan.speak('Test', { 'test' })
