  1. I just recently bought MV to step up from VX Ace, but there was a few things I couldn't do in VX that I would like to do in MV.

    1. How do I adjust the battle windows (making it smaller, moving it to the right, and adding face profiles next to the names?

    2. Is there a plug-in that will allow me to use the computer internal clock for day/night cycles (like Animal Crossing uses)? I've looked and can't find anything.

    3.How do I change the font for the game?

    Thank you for your time, I appreciate any feedback and support.
  2. Short answers:

    1. Find a HUD you loke (MOG or SRD)
    2. Find a time system plugin (Orange or one of the others)
    3. Replace the game font file in the /font folder of your project

    Others will likely have time to give you more descriptive answers. I'm kind of short at the moment but maybe that'll point you in the right direction until then.
  3. @Risputin if you check my free plugin thread, some months ago I have developed a real time system plugin using computer internal clock.
    However, It needs to be updated a little to add some functionalities, maybe if I will have some time in the future.

    Like Frogboy said, you need to add your font to the /fonts folder of your project. Then, you have to edit the .css file which is in that folder. Open a text editor, and replace the 'src' property with the name of your new font file.

    Thank you! I didn’t know about the HUD, i’ll Have to look around. As far as a time system plugin, that’s what I’m looking for. Also, the font folder, that’s what I also needed help with. Thanks for the feedback, it sends me in the right direction to what I need to look for :)

    Hey no problem! Would I be able to use it if I sell my game? Long term, it’s something I’m looking for, sounds like what I need though :)

    Thanks! I remember buying the Luna Engine for VX Ace and trying to change the fonts in the game but it didn’t change all of the fonts. I actually haven’t messed with VX Ace in a long while so I forgot about the font folder, i’ll dabble with it. Thanks for letting me know about the .css file too, I’m sure I would have forgotten that, L.O.L.

    Thank you everyone for the feedback, I’ll give this a go and see what happens. Again, thanks!
  6. @Risputin Yes dude, It's free for both commercial and non-commercial project.
  7. I was able to change the font like I wanted, thanks everyone! I haven't tried anything else yet, but if there is only one thing I do with my game, the font was the major of it!
