Introduction

While RPG Maker MV Ace certainly improved the message system a whole lot, it
wouldn't hurt to add in a few more features, such as name windows,
converting textcodes to write out the icons and/or names of items, weapons,
armours, and* more in quicker fashion. This script also gives the developer
the ability to adjust the size of the message window during the game, give
it a separate font, and to give the player a text fast-forward feature.

Word Wrapping

Word wrapping is now possible through the message system. You can enable and
disable Word wrap using Plugin Commands. While using word wrap, if the word
is to extend past the message window's area, it will automatically go to the
following line. That said, word wrap will disable the editor's line breaks
and will require you to use the ones provided by the plugin:

<br> or <line break> is text code to apply a line break. Use this before or
after a part in which you wish to start a new line.

Keep in mind word wrapping is mostly for message windows. However, in other
places that you'd like to see word wrapping, such as item descriptions,
insert <WordWrap> at the beginning of the text to enable it.

Text Codes

ShowTextWindow.png

Text Codes are used in the Show Text event command. They are used to display things that text normally can't produce on its own, such as colors, get the name of a specific actor, change icons, and more.

By using certain text codes in your messages, you can have the game replace
them with the following:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Text Code   Function
  \V[n]       Replaced by the value of the nth variable.
  \N[n]       Replaced by the name of the nth actor.
  \P[n]       Replaced by the name of the nth party member.
  \G          Replaced by the currency unit.
  \C[n]       Draw the subsequent text in the nth color.
  \I[n]       Draw the nth icon.
  \{          Increases the text size by one step.
  \}          Decreases the text size by one step.
  \\          Replaced with the backslash character.
  \$          Opens the gold window.
  \.          Waits 1/4th seconds.
  \|          Waits 1 second.
  \!          Waits for button input.
  \>          Display remaining text on same line all at once.
  \<          Cancel the effect that displays text all at once.
  \^          Do not wait for input after displaying text.

of these text codes only work for the Message Window. Otherwise, they'll
work for help descriptions, actor biographies, and others.

Plugin Commands

PluginCommandsMV.png

Plugin Commands are event commands that are used to call upon functions added by a plugin that aren't inherently a part of RPG Maker MV.

Here is a list of Plugin Command(s) that you may use:

The following are some plugin commands you can use through the Event Editor
to change various aspects about the Message system.

Plugin Comand
  MessageRows 6
  - Changes the Message Rows displayed to 6. If you are using continuous
  Show Text events, this will continue displaying the following lines's
  texts until it hits the row limit. Anything after that is cut off until
  the next message starts to avoid accidental overlap.

  MessageWidth 400
  - Changes the Message Window Width to 400 pixels. This will cut off any
  words that are shown too far to the right so adjust accordingly!

  EnableWordWrap
  - Enables wordwrapping. If a word extends past the window size, it will
  automatically move onto the next line. Keep in mind, you will need to use
  \br to perform line breaks.

  DisableWordWrap
  - This disables wordwrapping. Line breaks will be automatic at points
  where a new line is started in the editor.

  EnableFastForward
  - Enables Fast Forward key from working with messages.

  DisableFastForward
  - Disables Fast Forward key from working with messages.

Changelog

- Updated for RPG Maker MV version 1.5.0.

Version 1.18:
- Added new plugin parameters: 'Font Name CH' and 'Font Name KR'.

Version 1.17:
- Compatibility update with Message Macros for 'Name Box Auto Close' option.

Version 1.16:

Version 1.15:

will automatically reposition itself to under the main message window.

Version 1.14:
- Added 'Name Box Close' plugin parameter. If this is enabled, the message
window will check for the Name Window speaker each time a follow up message
occurs. If the name in the currently Name Window matches the name in the
following Name Window, the message window will remain open. If it doesn't,
the Name Window will close and reopen to indicate a new speaker.

Version 1.13:
- Added 'Maintain Font' plugin parameter under the Font category. This will
allow you to use text codes \fn<x> and \fs[x] to permanently change the font
of your messages until you use it again. \fr will reset them to the plugin's
default parameter settings.

Version 1.12:
- 'Word Wrap Space' parameter no longer leaves a space at the beginning of
each message.

Version 1.11:

- Updated the Message Row system for Extended Message Pack 1's Autosizing
feature to work with extended heights.

Version 1.09:
- Replaced 'Fast Forward' parameter with the 'Fast Forward Key' parameter
and 'Enable Fast Forward' parameter. Two new Plugin Commands are added. They
are 'EnableFastForward' and 'DisableFastForward' for control over when fast
forwarding is allowed as to not cause timed cutscenes to desynch.
