Introduction This plugin adds Keyword support for the Message Window and any others listed in the Plugin Parameters. By having Keyword support, the player can hover their mouse cursor over the Keyword and a tooltip window will appear, explaining further about the Keyword in question. This can be used in the Message Window to explain lore, in the Help Window to go into detail about more complex mechanics, and more! Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Setup Keywords within the Plugin Parameters. Keywords determine how the Keyword marker will be replaced and what kind of text will be displayed in the tooltip window. Use Keywords to explain or remind the player about lore heavy topics. Keywords can be used to explain indepth mechanics inside Help Window. Alter the tooltip window's settings to your liking. 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. Instructions Here are the instructions on how to use this plugin. --- Step 1: - Open up the Plugin Parameters for this plugin. - Open up the "Keyword List" Parameter list. - Add your own or modify existing Keywords. - The "Keyword" is the Keyword Marker that will be referenced when using a Keyword inside of the Message Window or Help Window. Remember this. - The "Replacement Text" is the text that appears in place of the Keyword Marker. This can be used to color code or as a shortcut for Keywords. - Replacement text does not have to be exactly the same as the Keyword. - "Tooltip Text" is the text that appears inside the tooltip window when the player's mouse cursor hovers over the Keyword. - Save your changes. --- Step 2: - Create a new "Show Message" event command or modify a database object's help "Description". - Insert the Keyword Marker in the following format: ((Keyword)) - Replace "Keyword" with the Keyword Marker mentioned in Step 1. - To use the default examples, you can type in ((Example)) or ((Ojima)). - Save the changes. - Go view them in game. - Hover the mouse cursor over the specific Keywords and a tooltip window should appear. --- Tooltip window text does not support Word Wrap. It is simply disabled from the very start so any Word Wrap text codes will not work with it. --- Extra Features There are some extra features found if other VisuStella MZ plugins are found present in the Plugin Manager list. --- Elements and Status Menu Core VisuStella MZ Items and Equips Core VisuStella MZ Quest Journal System VisuStella MZ Message Log VisuStella MZ Visual Text Window VisuStella MZ Custom windows provided by these plugins will have Keyword support as long as their respective window names are listed in the Plugin Parameters. --- 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. The following are text codes that you may use with this plugin. Keyword-Related Text Codes --- Text Code Effect (Supported Message Windows) ((Keyword)) Replaces the "Keyword" Marker with the Replacement Text found in the Message Keywords Plugin Parameters. If the player hovers the mouse cursor over a Keyword, a tooltip window will appear explaining about the Keyword's lore and/or mechanics. The replacement text and tooltip text can be modified inside the Message Keywords Plugin Parameters. --- Plugin Parameters Keyword List This array governs the Keywords that are used for the game. --- Keyword List Keyword Marker: - This is the marker used to determine the tooltip and any associated text - To use this inside the Message Window or Help Description, type out the following: ((Keyword)) Where "Keyword" would be the Keyword Marker used.

This allows players to read keyword definitions without needing to utilize touch inputs. WARNING: The more keywords you use per help description, the more windows will appear on the screen. You need to keep this in mind as you design your help description keywords as to not clutter the screen.

However, Keyword Markers can still be used to offer a quick shortcut to replacement text outside of tooltip windows. - Any of the windows listed here will have their refresh functions monkey patched via JavaScript to support Message Keywords. --- Terms of Use 1.
