This might be very simple but I can't figure it out.

I manage to display icons in dialogue boxes but can't do so in the Databse/terms/parameters

This is what happens:
Show


Could explain to me how I could make the \IC function work everywhere in my game?

I'm using the following script to display icons in my game: 
#==============================================================================

# ** Window_Message

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  This message window is used to display text.

#==============================================================================

class Window_Message

  

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Convert Special Characters

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  alias crea_convert_special_characters convert_special_characters

  def convert_special_characters

    crea_convert_special_characters

    @text.gsub!(/\\IC\[([0-9]+)\]/i) { "\x09[#{$1}]" }

  end

  

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------

  # * Update Message

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

  def update_message

    loop do

      c = @text.slice!(/./m)            # Get next text character

      case c

      when nil                          # There is no text that must be drawn

        finish_message                  # Finish update

        break

      when "\x00"                       # New line

        new_line

        if @line_count >= MAX_LINE      # If line count is maximum

          unless @text.empty?           # If there is more

            self.pause = true           # Insert number input

            break

          end

        end

      when "\x01"                       # \C[n]  (text character color change)

        @text.sub!(/\[([0-9]+)\]/, "")

        contents.font.color = text_color($1.to_i)

        next

      when "\x02"                       # \G  (gold display)

        @gold_window.refresh

        @gold_window.open

      when "\x03"                       # \.  (wait 1/4 second)

        @wait_count = 15

        break

      when "\x04"                       # \|  (wait 1 second)

        @wait_count = 60

        break

      when "\x05"                       # \!  (Wait for input)

        self.pause = true

        break

      when "\x06"                       # \>  (Fast display ON)

        @line_show_fast = true

      when "\x07"                       # \<  (Fast display OFF)

        @line_show_fast = false

      when "\x08"                       # \^  (No wait for input)

        @pause_skip = true

      when "\x09"                       # \IC[n] (show icon)

        @text.sub!(/\[([0-9]+)\]/, "")

        draw_icon($1.to_i, @contents_x, @contents_y)

        @contents_x += 24

      else                              # Normal text character

        contents.draw_text(@contents_x, @contents_y, 40, WLH, c)

        c_width = contents.text_size(c).width

        @contents_x += c_width

      end

      break unless @show_fast or @line_show_fast

    end

  end

  

end

Weird, I just posted this the other day in response to several other requests...

Unfortunately, it doesn't currently handle icons. But you could combine your code in update_message with my code in 'draw_text' to implement icons as well. However you would need to break up the string at the icons, then call the 'draw_parsed_text' method for each substring.
Or draw each character separately like you do in update_message.

Do you only need icons at the beginning of the text? or anywhere in the text? (multiple icons?)

Hi Brewmeister,

I pretty much need to draw icons to show up every time I use the command \IC.

I'll admit to you that I really suck with scripts and don't even know what to do despite the explanations you've given... :(.
