BOX TEXT HELP RPGVMAKER 2003

There is no way to have it correctly wrap your text for you, but there are ways to prevent it from happening.

First would be to know how many characters can fit in a single line. I don't know the number, but I think LockeZ does. That number is less if you are using facesets. You would have to consciously count as you type.

I remember someone saying that they write their dialogue in notepad with a fixed width font like Courier. I forget the method to tell the edge, I think you can resize the window so it auto wraps at the exact size of the message window. The font in the editor is not fixed width, so the length will vary based on how many i's, .'s and other thin letters you use(or fatties).

Another way, that I'm not too sure about, is there is some kind of patch to the editor that shows a line where the text gets cut off. I seem to remember hearing about something like that, but I don't remember what it would be or if it even exists. It's kinda like a vague memory, maybe I dreamt it up. Who knows.

It is a pain, but I tend to look at how close to the edge of the message box I'm typing and I hit return if I suspect my text would be cut off. Sometimes it goes over and I have to testplay to find out.

I haven't done anything but map in 2k3 for some years now...but it seemed like there was some rule of characters like:

32 possible chars a line
28 letters a line

or something like that...

I think you may just have to keep track manually of how many/what type of characters you have used in your text window. you may also be able to change your font.

omg lol
