Updated to 1.7 - fixed an issue if face width is changed to use smaller faces, message text alignment wouldn't change.

Hi Galv, there's a way to use the baloon in different position? (upper, middle, low like the Timed Message Popups script)

For this one I made it automatically always over characters but move below them if there isn't enough room to display. If there's interest in being able to set it to display above or below manually, I'll add that to my to-do list

Hi, Galv! Great plugin, I plan to use it, but I found an issue: if I put an message code, like "\!", "\|" or "\.", it's executed before the message. Or is my hesitation?

   

All these little things I've been missing!


Thanks for reporting, I believe I have fixed that in v 1.9.

Looking foward the update, I will download the plugin with it.

Can you add the ability to put "\V[x]" into the "\pop[x]"?  So, you can put the ActorID or EventID in a Variable then use that instead...  You could make so a whole of people say random things, but instead of making the random things in the event page you can make a common event and just call the event with a variable for the event id.  I'm sure there are other uses as well, but for now that's the most common one I can think of.

Adding it to my to-do list

Updated to version 2.0 - fixed an issue I made that caused codes to increase box width. Added ability to use \v[x] inside of the \pop[x] for targeting.

SWEET!!!  I've been waiting for this!  Thanks!!

is there a way to tweak where the balloon shows up? it's not showing up anywhere near the event/character I specify...

Im using MBs Mapzoom and the screen is zoomed in at all times to give it an older game look. However because of this the balloons arent rendering in the right spot, could you make a fix for it? :(

Has someone used it with Yanflys Message Core? If I use both the First word in the beginning isn't shown.

@lonewolph - Unfortunately I dont have time for this request. Have you tried asking MB?


@Shiroi Akuma - I have re-tested the plugin with yanfly's core and message core plugin and I cannot replicate this behavior. Please check for latest versions of these plugins and make sure its not another plugin causing it.

It was caused by Iavra Localization which I don't need actually, since it isn't like I imagined. 

might update it at one point X,Y


This is a very wonderful idea.
This is exactly what I need.
If you can make this or tell me the changes to make in your script.
I understand that you are busy, but it will be so great.
