    Ok, sooo, I've tried googling. My weirdo specific problems are hard to search for (or word I guess)...

    I want to have different colours show for the name depending on who's talking in the speech dialogue. But I'm not sure how to go about it... So far I'm just using:

    \c[#]name \c[0]dialogue goes here 
    The other option is:

    \N<name> dialogue goes hereor\N[#] dialogue 
    Which of course saves space, but is predetermined to one colour as listed in the coding.

    #=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- # - Name Window Settings - #=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- # The name window is a window that appears outside of the main message # window box to display whatever text is placed inside of it like a name. #=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- NAME_WINDOW_X_BUFFER = -20 # Buffer x position of the name window. NAME_WINDOW_Y_BUFFER = 0 # Buffer y position of the name window. NAME_WINDOW_PADDING = 20 # Padding added to the horizontal position. NAME_WINDOW_OPACITY = 255 # Opacity of the name window. NAME_WINDOW_COLOUR = 6 # Text colour used by default for names.Is there a way to make more than one colour? Is it even recommended (or needed considering I also have portraits for whoever's talking)? Should I just use the \N<name> (for npcs) or \N[#] (for actors) and just be done with it?

    I WANT IT TO LOOK NICE, CURSE MY PERFECTIONISM! ><#

    Please post a link to the script.


    Doesn't it accept the default codes that can be used in message boxes in the RTP script?

    Added the link. And I had no idea! Thought I had to use a script to use colours.  :blush:

    So did you try it with the default codes?


    If you don't format your posts, they will be easier to read ;)

    Sorry... I hate being normal... it seems easier to see to the text that way to me... ^^;; Umm... I'll have to look for it, I don't even know what default codes there are for RTP... I'm also not quite positive which you're referencing. As far as the names are concerned or the colours?

    When you do a Show Text command and hover the mouse over the text input area, it will give you codes to change the colours. Just try putting the same into the name box to see if it accepts it or not. The script might already do it all for you.

    Oh! Ha, I thought those were part of Yanfly's (like the script made that little info popup appear)! I actually use some of them. But what I'm more so wondering is if you can assign more colour options for Yanfly's. I do kinda like the name box, but all this trouble, I'm thinking of just putting a name code for important NPCs and the MCs to make life easier. Especially since I'm a one-gal-band.

    Ok, well if I had another question (about a different system) I need to make a new thread right? It still deals with text and such but... I think I read you can't do that? Or that others can't come in and question jack, something like that...

    yep. If your question is answered, the thread gets closed so people know you don't need any more help.


    So new problem = new thread.
