Well, my message system doesn't quite do that, but it formats text boxes so that no words are lost even when you go over the limit. Maybe I can add it if you specifically want that feature, rather than just that you don't want to have words cut off.

Can you find a video of it or something. I'm not sure how it would work with more than one line.

I just took a look at some videos of FF XII - there's nothing like what you describe as far as I can tell. Unless you meant FF X-II? So yeah, I think I need some more concrete examples of how this should work.

I don't know if I'm going to take this request after all. I have recently realized that NMS already has a horizontal scrolling feature, so I suggest you try that out.

NMS is too big of a script, all I want is the marquee part - As long is the text is scrolling horizontally in a description window, it works for me.
I'll look for it as soon as I can, sorry if this bothers you, modern.

Just so you know, this isnt urgent so you can take it whenever you want.
