Wow. Another fantastic script. FYI I found a slight "quirk" that might be worth mentioning in the title. If you have a space between the end of a line and a \n line break it ignores formatting.

For example;

\a[C]Hello\n
\a[C]My name is Chickan

Displays


Hello
My name is Chickan[/size]

Whereas

\a[C]Hello \n
\a[C]My name is Chickan

would display


Hello
My name is Chickan


It's not aproblem as such but it was causing me some initial confusion.

Okay, so I'm having a slight problem with text alignment and pauses. When I align a message to the center via \a[C] (or \a[1]) and try to put a 1 second (\| or \w[60]) pause anywhere in the message, whenever the message begins a second or third line, the entire message window blanks out, as if no text was inputted, but it returns a second later.

 For example :

Code: [Select]
\a[C]Hello, this is a test.\|
This line appearing instantly is vital to my survival.\|

Will make the window write "Hello, this is a test." and as soon as the first line is completed, it blanks out, as in the window is completely empty as shown below:


The message window stays like that for a second before writing the rest of the message, the first line teleporting in as if nothing was wrong in the first place.

I've tried this with a completely new project and no other scripts enabled, and I've tried the message both with a face and without a face image, the facial image disappears with the message as well.

Line 129's paragraph_format is set to false.
Line 136's append_text is also set to false.

I would rather they both stay off, and I need those 1 second pauses (actually more like 3 second pauses, but it happens with a one second pause anyway.) for certain dialogue in my project.

Oddly enough, the error does not happen if I use the 15 frame pause ( \. ) once or twice, but when I have four \.s then it does the same glitch as just putting a \|

Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a legitimate bug in the coding? This did not happen with version 1.0 of this script.

Sorry, I haven't tested this script enough when paragraph formatting is off. Thank you so much for directing me to that error and I have updated the script to version 1.1.2 with a fix.

Hi there, I'm new, but I figured I'd chime in with a bit of a bug.

I noticed that when trying to center text, alignment doesn't take into account changes in font size very well.  For instance, if I do:

\pf\a[c]\{This is a line of text\n
\}This is sub-text

It looks rather weird and misaligned.  If I forgo font sizes, it works beautifully.  Also, this is with paragraph and append off by default as I'm using quite a few Yanfly scripts, like his message system and victory aftermath.

Also, it's not an incompatibility with his scripts as I used yours alone, before even installing his message system and I had the same result and even worse with \{\{ in place.

By the way, thanks for the killer script.  This is a must-have add-on for if using Yanfly's and a must have period for any game!
If at first you don't succeed, f**k it.

Well, when I tried it like this:

Code: [Select]
\pf\a[c]\{This is a line of text\}\n
This is sub-text

It worked fine, so I think it is only when the size of the font changes in the middle of a line that problems arise. I will look into it.

I have a question, how can you make the alignment default for all messages? It's kind of a hassle editing each text and appending \a[C] to them. Thanks :D

Right above the Editable Region, you should see this line:

Code: [Select]
    ats_alignment: 0,

Change it to:

Code: [Select]
    ats_alignment: 1,

You can also change it throughout the game with the ats_next and ats_all codes:

Code: [Select]
ats_all(:ats_alignment, 1)
ats_next(:ats_alignment, 1)

Naturally, 0 is left-aligned; 1 is centre-aligned; and 2 is right-aligned.

I'm not sure if Modern Algebra still supports this script or anything but I've come up with a problem with it.  For some reason I have text that is forcing line breaks even though I'm not specifying for one to occur.  It's kind of annoying.  the following are a few screen shots of what I'm talking about.

This image here shows that I have the text in the editor all on one line separated by page breaks.


This image shows that when tested and gone into the game to play it, the game is forcing a chunk of text down a line even though there is clearly space for more words on the first line.


This image is similar to the one above that happens a few pages down in the text where the process repeats itself.


This script seemed to be doing just fine until I went in and tested it in the game.  To make things easier to possibly find the problem here, I have not edited or changed anything in the script and I am not using any other scripts but this one at the moment.

How have I not noticed this before...

This will prove very useful for my new game, modern. Thank you!

Thanks zach! I'm glad you like it.

Also, thank you for the detailed bug report titan_strife. I have updated the script and I believe that I've fixed that error. You can collect the updated script from the first post. Let me know.

So, I've been a huge fan of this script on RMVX, so when I started a new project on RMVXa I had to get it - but it doesn't seem to be working correctly.

The first time a message pops up, the paragraph is not formatted correctly. But if you bring up the message a second time, it's correct. It appears to be correct until you quit the game, I have no idea why it's doing that.

Like so:





The only scripts I have installed are the other MA Message scripts.

If you'd like me to upload the project file, just let me know.

I can't really help with scripting, but I think I know how to find out what's causing it.
Make a new project, insert the Formatting script. Place some characters with some dialogue.

1. Test it. (Does it format correctly? If yes, go to step 2. No? Go to step 3.)
2. Add another script from the list, go to step 1.
3. The latest script you just added is most likely the one causing it.

Is line height not adjustable with this script? If a small font size is set, it can almost look double-spaced.

Is there a way to make spaces in the beginning of the paragraph? The script seems to ignore the spaces that i put in manually.

Very nice script, thank you modern algebra!

I just wanted to ask if it is okay to use this script in a commercial game.
