Description


This script allows you to control a number of things about the message window, such as its size and position. It also provides for scrolling and review, and it includes the option to create a name window to identify the speaker (or for any other use).

Features

  • Show a name window to identify the speaker and control its position, border size, and more!
  • Smoothly scroll through message windows by line or by page.
  • Control the position of the message window directly, and this includes an option to show a message window above a specified character.
  • Control the size of the message window, either directly or by fitting it to the longest line of text in a message window.
  • Control the graphics of the message window, with the freedom to easily change the windowskin, the size of the border, or to replace the "dim" background with a picture of your choosing.
  • Play a letter-by-letter sound effect, with control over the SE, frequency with which the SE is played, and an option to randomize pitch.
  • Play chosen SEs on opening a message window, finishing a message window, terminating a message window, or waiting for player input.
  • Use message codes to play SEs, MEs, animations and balloons while the message is showing.

If you are looking for other features from my VX script of the same name, then see some of the other scripts in the ATS series.

Does this also have the option for the speech bubble arrow-type things that the VX script had? The one where it would make the message window look like a speech bubble?

No, it doesn't. It can show the window above or below the player or what have you, but it doesn't show a speech bubble sprite coming from the character.

It wouldn't be terribly difficult to add, but I never really liked that effect.

Thanks for the error report. I updated the script and it should now be fixed.

Thanks! I am in love with the whole series of ATS. Once it's completed will probably be on par with the best message system made for an RPG Maker, HERMES by derula for XP. Only thing it will be missing is the parallel windows.

This is great!  I'll be using this along with special codes (and face options, when it's ready.)  One feature I was looking for from the VX version, but doesn't seem to be in this version, is the ability to allow players to continue walking around while displaying a message.  Is that feature planned for any of the other future ATS Series releases?

Bummer that you didn't like that effect. I loved it. When combined with a fully white window skin, the effect was quite amazing. I will be using this, however, with or without the speech bubbles.

@Countdown - I will think about adding it then.

@Jothanos - It's not currently planned, no, but I will think about adding it.

For now, I updated the script to 1.0.3 and it now includes the ability to play SEs, MEs, animations and balloons with the message codes: \p_se, \p_me, \p_anim, and \p_bln.

Hey, I've been using this the last couple of days and I was wondering if I wasn't setting up my scrolling right or if this feature wasn't supported yet - When scrolling text with a portrait alongside, is there any way to maintain the position of the face but scroll the text?  I've just downloaded Formatting and haven't configured that yet, but I didn't see anything along those lines in the description.

No, not yet, sorry. That support will come in when I write the Face Options script.

I am planning to write a script with a feature similar to that, but it might be a little while.

Sorry, Modern Lost, you're right; it is not in this script.

@Ace - I am reluctant to give a timeline, since I don't know how much time I will have for RM over the next couple months. However, I can say that it is fairly high up on my To Do list. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the series so far though!

Well, I'm loving his script series, these are very versatile. Anyway, I hope you complete it soon!  ;D
