Message Core VisuStella MZ VisuStella MZ This plugin is a part of the VisuStella MZ Plugin Library. Click here if you want to help support VisuStella on Patreon. Introduction The Message Log plugin will take and record any Show Message entries played on the map screen so that players can go back to them and review them at a later point in time when needed. This is helpful for players who may have missed important information that would have been displayed or those who would like to review what was said previously. The Message Log will not record any of the text displayed in the battle scene in order to preserve the data to one specific scene. Features include all (but not limited to) the following: Record messages written out in the "Show Text" command while the player is on the map screen. Players can access the Message Log through either the Main Menu or by a shortcut key whenever the Message Window is open. Faces and speaker names will also be recorded. Choice List selections, Number Inputs, and selected Event Items will also be recorded. Those using the Extended Message Functionality plugin can also bind this effect to the Button Console. 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. Major Changes This plugin adds some new hard-coded features to RPG Maker MZ's functions. The following is a list of them. --- Replaced Message Text Codes Some text codes are not compatible with the Message Log when viewed such as wait commands, showing the gold window, etc. When that happens, those text codes will be removed from visibility in the Message Log in order to prevent any problems. The following is a list of the Message Text Codes that will not appear in the Message Log: -------------------- Default RPG Maker MZ -------------------- \$ \. \| \! \> \< \^ -------------------- VisuMZ_1_MessageCore -------------------- \Picture<x> \CenterPicture<x> \CommonEvent[x] \Wait[x] \NormalBG \DimBG \TransparentBG \WindowMoveTo: ?> \WindowMoveBy: ?> \WindowReset \TroopMember[x] \TroopNameMember[x] \ChangeFace<?> \FaceIndex[x] <Auto> <Auto Width> <Auto Height> <Auto Actor: x> <Auto Party: x> <Auto Enemy: x> <Auto Event: x> <Auto Player> <Show> <Show Switch: x> <Show All Switches: x,x,x> <Show Any Switches: x,x,x> <Hide> <Hide Switch: x> <Hide All Switches: x,x,x> <Hide Any Switches: x,x,x> <Enable> <Enable Switch: x> <Enable All Switches: x,x,x> <Enable Any Switches: x,x,x> <Disable> <Disable Switch: x> <Disable All Switches: x,x,x> <Disable Any Switches: x,x,x> <Position: ?> <Coordinates: ?> <Dimensions: ?> ----------------------- VisuMZ_2_ExtMessageFunc ----------------------- <Hide Buttons> ----------------------- VisuMZ_2_PictureChoices ----------------------- <Bind Picture: id> <Hide Choice Window> ---------------------- VisuMZ_3_ChoiceCmnEvts ---------------------- <Choice Common Event: id> ------------------- VisuMZ_3_MessageLog ------------------- <Bypass Message Log> ---------------------- VisuMZ_3_MessageSounds ---------------------- <Letter Sound On> <Letter Sound Off> \LetterSoundName<filename> \LetterSoundVolume[x] \LetterSoundPitch[x] \LetterSoundPan[x] \LetterSoundVolumeVar[x] \LetterSoundPitchVar[x] \LetterSoundPanVar[x] \LSON \LSOFF \LSN<filename> \LSV[x] \LSPI[x] \LSPA[x] \LSVV[x] \LSPIV[x] \LSPAV[x] ------------------------ VisuMZ_4_EventTitleScene ------------------------ <Continue> --- VisuStella MZ Compatibility While this plugin is compatible with the majority of the VisuStella MZ plugin library, it is not compatible with specific plugins or specific features. This section will highlight the main plugins/features that will not be compatible with this plugin or put focus on how the make certain features compatible. --- Extended Message Functionality VisuStella MZ The Extended Message Functionality plugin enables the "Log" button found in the Button Console to let the player go and review the text that has been displayed in the map scene. This does not include the text found in battle to avoid conflicting logged messages across different situations. --- 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. Log-Related Text Codes --- Text Code Effect <Bypass Message Log> Prevents the specific "Show Text" window from being recorded into the Message Log. --- Plugin Commands 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 MZ.
