Introduction Source This plugin enables your messages to play sound effects per letter (or at certain intervals of letters) whenever they appear in a message window. Letter sounds can be used to add emotion, character, and feeling to scenes and provide audio feedback to the activity going on in the screen. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Declare which message letter sounds, their volume, pitch, and pan. Add variance to the volume, pitch, and pan to produce more speech-like behaviors. Blacklist certain letters from having any sounds played at all. Change the sounds through Plugin Commands and/or text codes to alter the feeling of a message. Requirements This plugin is made for RPG Maker MZ. This will not work in other iterations of RPG Maker. Required Plugin List Message Core VisuStella MZ This plugin requires the above listed plugins to be installed inside your game's Plugin Manager list in order to work. You cannot start your game with this plugin enabled without the listed plugins. Tier 3 This plugin is a Tier 3 plugin. Place it under other plugins of lower tier value on your Plugin Manager list (ie: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). This is to ensure that your plugins will have the best compatibility with the rest of the VisuStella MZ Plugin library. Extra Features There are some extra features found if other VisuStella MZ plugins are found present in the Plugin Manager list. --- Options Core VisuStella MZ An added option to the Audio category of the default Options Core settings allow players to turn on/off the Message Letter Sounds in case they may find them to be unpleasing. --- Text Codes 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. RPG Maker MZ already comes with text codes of its own: \V[n] Will be replaced with the value of the nth variable. \N[n] Will be replaced with the name of the nth actor. \P[n] Will be replaced by the name of the nth (arranged order) party member. \G Will be replaced by the currency unit. \C[n] Draw the subsequent text in the nth color. Text color conforms to the contents of the [Window.png] system image. \I[n] Draws the nth icon. \FS[n] Changes the text font size to 'n'. \{ Increases the text by 1 step. \} Decreases the text by 1 step. \\ Replaced with the backslash character. \$ Open the gold window. \. Wait for 1/4 second. \| Wait for 1 second. \! Wait 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 the next. Source The following are text codes that have been added through this plugin. These text codes will not work with your game if the plugin is OFF or not present. --- Full Length Text Codes -------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Text Code Effect (Message Window Only) -------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- <Letter Sound On> Turns on the Message Letter Sounds. <Letter Sound Off> Turns off the Message letter Sounds. \LetterSoundName<filename> Changes SFX played to 'filename'.
