(VX) LINEBREAK IN BATTLES

Is there a way to add a manual line break of the text in the battle messages? I don't want my text being cut off or being compressed in the given pixel space. Is this possible?
You might have to code in each message as separate lines. Maybe you can modify the script that controls battle messages so that every time the message exceeds a certain length, or every time it contains a special character of your choosing, the script executes and then saves what's left over for another message that executes immediately afterward.
I think modifying the script is the way to do it. I've tried the break codes that you'd use for dialogue in the VOCAB section where the battle messages are but it didn't work. Sadly I don't have the scripting know-how to do it.
Unfortunately, neither do I. I usually use the event language only. I hope that someone else will offer something.

I don't know how the newer RPG Makers work, but I think you might be able to do something with message stacking. Just calling one message right after another.

I'm not sure what kind of messages you're trying to fix. I mean, if it's a message that happens when a skill is used, there's two lines. You can try and make things readable by splitting up the message between the lines. If it's something else, I have no clue.

Shorten your Vocab lines. "A fantastic, wonderful hit!" can be shorted to "Critical Hit!"

Very true, but I'm trying to recreate Dragon Warrior 1 including all battle texts. I have shortened it but with a smaller text box than RPG Maker default and appropriately text, my options are limited.
Didn't Dragon Warrior have scrolling text inside of a small text box? A long time ago, when I was experimenting with trying to wrap my head around Ruby scripting, I was downloading text engines and text-modifying scripts. One of them was a continuously-scrolling text script. It's now years later, so I can't remember the name of it. But something like that exists. Perhaps if you can find something like it, you can get more ideas.
if you or anyone else could find that, you'd be godly!
sorry, another bump. I need this fixed.
