So it turns out I did not see that you sent this message about Galv's thing.
Did you end up working around the problem, or is it still an issue?
Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. I couldn't find a way to make it work with Galv's plugin unfortunately. But even worse, I've come across an issue in MZ now where the game draws the regular message box with the animated text but then when I try to progress the text to the next box by clicking the whole game freezes (nothing appears on the dev console either). This happens when I activate the Gimmer Core, Compat and Text plugins as well as the FOSSIL and QJ Lighting plugin. But it works fine in a blank project. I realized for some reason it doesn't work when I have the QJ Lighting plugin activated as well. Is there any reason the lighting plugin may cause your plugin to break? Only thought I could have is drawing the text colors and light colors may have some conflict?
Hey, sorry it took me a little longer to troubleshoot as I could not find why it broke the game till now. So I think I found the conflict that breaks the game in a blank project.
if I use the escape code \^ (to progress text without player input) in the text box the game gets stuck and it hangs, and my CPU usage jumps and I can't quit the game unless I use the CTRL + ALT + DEL task manager. If I don't use this \^ Escape code the game works and it displays text just fine even with the lighting plugin.
The compatibility issue with Galv's Message Styles (MZ Message Styles | Galv's RPG Maker Scripts & Plugins (galvs-scripts.com)) plugin remains though, where it draws text overlapping in weird ways multiple times. I think it may have something to do with the need to use the esc code "\pop[t]" at the start of the text box to activate the pop up window.
Any help you can spare for the above would be amazing! Thank you.
Hi, I also tried out SumRndmDudes Shaking text plugin which is not nearly as nice as yours but was looking for an alternaive.. While it doesn't break with the \^ escape code, it does have the same text duplication effect with Galv's Message Styles plugin :( Shaking Text – MV Plugin – RPG Maker MZ Plugins (sumrndm.site)
Thank you so much Gimmer for taking the time and effort to patch compatibility with other plugins, I really appreciate it. Will take a look at it tonight and report in!
I hate to ask as you've already done more than enough, but were you able to look at the fairly critical issue where the game breaks when using the code \^ in the text box to make the text progress without player input? I mentioned that as the reason that it breaks the project and unfortunately it would be a blocking issue for using the plugin as that escape code is fairly commonly used by me :(. Don't want to ask too much, but if that could be fixed that would be huge! Thank you.
