I told you to send me the link through my discord. because that plugin is paid, if you send me the link here, someone can also download it.

And sorry, but I don't have that time to search in our conversations to look for the password. Make things simple. Next time follow my instructions and send me the link through discord. I manage to open the file and I can already see some things wrong:

Your plugin manager is full of warnings:

It's best if you keep that warning clear. Because RPG Maker only shopws to you one warning at time. If you keep disabling the plugins that are showing the warning, you will end up on this warning below:

So the plugin order is wrong.

But even so, that was not the problem. Because there is no problem at all. The plugin is working perfectly. You choose to use two bitmap fonts that are almost the same. When you change the fonts using the escape code and the plugin commands, they are changing, but it was(for me at least) almost impossible to identify the change because the two fonts are almost the same.

So, to confirm that the plugin is working, I changed the text color of the DWFont, just to make sure that the fonts are really changing with the plugin commands and escape codes:

After you changed it to the DWFont, you can open the menu and see the changes there too.

(I think it is not compatible with the MK UI Customizer plugin though. Because it is not changing the HP/TP fonts of the main menu when tha plugin is enabled)

Hi there!

Like I said on some previous comment, don't use special characters on the font face:

I don't think its a good idea to name your font face with special characters like you did: \FB[LWFont]. I think you should just name it "LWFont". Html will deal with those special characters in a different way and also this can make other plugins that use escape codes to change the font do not work so well. Best is to avoid that.

So, instead of [LWFont] Both on the plugin parameters, and on the plugin commands, just use "LWFont".  See if the problem is solved after that change. And make sure you have set the "Build Bitmap File" parameter to true.

If that is not solved, upload that project somewhere and send me the link on discord so i can download and test to see what is going on.

My discord: hakuenstudio

No need to be sorry. This is a complex plugin. It can be hard to setup it.

Hi there!

Glad you manage to make it working! The error log is exactly what was wrong. Sometimes can be tricky. We miss some character that has on the bitmap font file and not on the plugin parameters. It's a complex setup, but I'm glad you manage to make it work! ^^

Yes

This error can only be triggered when using the plugin commands: Change Default Font or Change Font. 

So first thing is to find the plugin command that is giving you this alert. Check if you have any common events that are using these commands or any event that is using it on the map start.

After that, the problem is that the Font Face / Index provided on the plugin command, does not exist. You can take a look at your Fonts plugin parameters and compare with the one you set on one of these plugin commands. If you still didn't manage to find the issue, show me a screenshot of your fonts plugin parameter and a screenshot of the plugin command so I can see and compare to check what is wrong.

Hi there!

Had a little time and manage to publish the updates! please download the new version of the Bitmap Font and the Message Actions. Let me know how it will work now ^^

Hi there!

 It's exactly one of the reasons why this plugin was made. Take a look at the help file on the main itch io page of the plugin to understand how it works. You also need Eli Class Curves to use it.

Hi!

I do not plan to do that same stuff for other scenes. I think it even does not fit that specifically menu idea. So don't plan to extend that beyond what this already is. Now for a battle scene that could work like that, I could do it if it was commisioned(like this one was). And for that I would need more details of exactly waht you want etc to estabilish a price.

Ohhh I see... Well, glad it worked!

Have fun 😁

Nice!!!

The Issue about the ´textColor' and about the changeContainerFont is already fixed! But I didn't update it to itch io yet, I'm doing some tests. 

Now the font being messy, I have created some methods inside the plugin that it will check when a font is bad configured, so when I update it here, it will tell you on your tests what is going on so we can understand better.

Unfortunatelly, it's late and I'm tired right now. Will not being able to uploaded the updated version since I still need to test some stuff. And the new year is closing, so I guess I will only be back now on the day 03 of january 2026. hope you can understand ^^

When I get back I will call you here.

Yes you can send me, but before just test one thing. If that does not work, send me the project on discord:

Change the font face of your font to not be a number. I think maybe the plugin is confusing the font face with an Index, since you put the font face as "1".

Hi there!

just to let you know that I have fixed the bug of the duplicated JSON and also added a plugin command to change the default font index. Just download the new version 2.3.0(I know I reduced the version number, but don't bother with that. Just developer stuff).

Thanks for the feedback!

Nice! Have fun! ^^

It's fine! Have fun :)

Hi there!

Did you try changing plugin positions on the plugin manager to see if them will work?

My plugin just get the `BattleManager._rewards.items` from the default code of the RPG Maker and use it to show on the Battle Results screen. If the other plugin also uses that to add rewards, then they should work fine. But I can see on the plugin page that the author may have go for a different and unique way:

So, the only way for me to make a compatibility patch, is by taking a look at the plugin code. Add me on discord: hakuenstudio

Upload a project somewhere with both plugins already configured, and send me a link to that project so I can test and see if a compatibility can be made.

Hi!

Nice you have managed to find and solved the issue! And also, thanks for getting back and told what was the problem ^^

I will just ask you that on the next time, you could create the post on the Bitmap Font plugin page ^^

Happy new Year! ^^

Hi there!

Yes, I think it is possible to do that! Will for sure add it on the next update. It may take a while because of the end of the year and so on. But I will let you know through here when I have done it!

Hi there!

1 - Make sure you are using EliMZ_Book.js somewhere above all other Eli Plugins. It's my core plugin and they need it to work properly.

2 - If that still not fixed the issue, when the error happens, press F12, a browser window will open. Then, go to the CONSOLE tab, and send me a screenshot of what is in there so I can take a look.

Hi there!

It is possible to refund. But first let's try to fix that problem, if we didn't manage, we can refund it for sure.

1 - Make sure you are using EliMZ_Book.js somewhere above all Eli plugins. It is my core plugin.

2 - I think the problem could be that you are using an outdated version of the RPG Maker MZ. To make sure, you can update the core files inside your project by doing this:

Make sure to click on OK with the second line pointing out to 1.9.0.

3 - If none of that works, when the error happens, press F12, a browser window will open. Then search for the CONSOLE tab. Click on it and send me a screenshot of what is in there. This will help me figure things out.

Hi there!

The plugin is probably not working at all because you leave the Center and Bottom settings empty. It is probably triggering a silent error related to .parseJSon(if you press F12 and go to the console tab, you should see).You also need to fill the plugin parameters for them. After you create position parameters to every position type of the Window Message, it should work. Let me know!

Hi there!

Try changing two things:

1 - Do not use merienda.regular.woff. Try meriendaRegular.woof as the filename.

2 - Your default font index is set to 1. But if you just created one font, then it should be 0. Indexes on javascript/Rpg Maker always start at 0:

• 0 = First item
• 1 = second item
• 3 = third aitem

and so on... Let me know if making those changes made the plugin work!

Duplicate JSON

I will take a look into this and try to make something that can avoid that duplicate when you update an already existent font.

Don't fell bad, it's fine. I don't take to personal haha. Game dev can be stressing sometimes, I know that ^^

Your plugin configuration screenshot

I don't think its a good idea to name your font face with special characters like you did: \FB[LWFont]. I think you should just name it "LWFont". Html will deal with those special characters in a different way and also this can make other plugins that use escape codes to change the font do not work so well. Best is to avoid that.

1 - Yes, you should wait until I release an update to make things easier!

2 - Yes, there is a way to do it. The help file does not mention that. But you can download other plugin of mine calles "Eli Message Actions". It will provide you new escape codes(Something like the RPG Maker already does for changing colors like \c[6], or use variables \v[ID]) that will allow you to change the face font this way:

\FNT[FontFace] → Replace FontFace with the font face you set on the plugin parameters.

Don't fell bad at all! Anything you want just call me here. Sometimes I will also be late to answer, sometimes I will answer quickly. But I always answer. I will let you know from here when I have updated the plugin. It may take a while, because is the end of the year and so on. But I will!

Hi there!

I really do not get notified when someone rates my plugin. So thanks for reaching out! Any problem you have, you can talk to me through here ^^. Now, let's fix your problem!

Works perfectly when I use one bitmap font, but it breaks apart when I decide to setup two or more.

- What breaks? You mean an error pops up on the screen? Or something is showing on the console log? Or the plugin just stop working at all?

All of them tell you "The main bitmap font to use" so how do I choose a main font to use?

- "The main bitmap font to use" means that is the main bitmap font for that font configuration you are creating. Because there is another bitmap font on that same configuration, which is "Outline font file" in case you want to add an outline to that font. I think you misunderstood what "main" means on the plugin context. It does not mean default. Because each font configuration entry has it's own Main font and Outline Font.

How am I supposed to use more than one font if there's no option to set a default bitmap font?

- Each entry on the "Fonts" parameter is a new font that will be available to use. On the screenshot above, you can see that are 3 entries. Means that are 3 available fonts to use inside the game. You just need to create more entries on the "Fonts". You can create as many as you want.

I need more than one font for two reasons. One, is to change the default font to another one when entering a different world, like a different section of my game. Changing all of the font from the menu, and text boxes, and so on. Except from the title screen of course.

- This should be an easy task, but seems I removed the way to change the Default font in-game, and forgot to add it again. Currently, the default font is the first entry on the "Fonts" plugin parameter. The only way to make everything changes the font they are using, inside the game, is to using the plugin command and manually set each Window, Scene or Sprite that will use that font. That is a tedious work. I will add a new feature/plugin command to change the default font for everything in game on the fly! Sorry about that.

Though, because all of the fonts I have setup are interpreted as the "main bitmap font to use", nothing works, and no bitmap font is used at all because it doesn't know which to use, and I haven't found any way to choose one to use as default

- About choosing the default font, I already answered you that on the answer above. The way the plugin understand what font to use and where to use it, is if the user manually tells that to the plugin, through the plugin parameter while setup the font. There is nothing to do on "the plugin does not know which default font to use". The default font is always the first entry.

Second, is to make different characters, have different fonts for their text boxes. For that, I just write the Face Font of their font in the Show Text Command, right? Also doesn't work since basically the system doesn't know what bitmap font to use since both are interpreted as the main, so it just uses the default normal non-bitmap one.

- No, not right. Where did you see that you just need to write their Face Font in the Show text command? And how did you write that on the Show Text Command? Can you show a screenshot of this? As I said above, the plugin has no problem knowing what is the default font. If your RPG Maker is using the default normal non-bitmap one and you are sure that the plugin is set to ON inside the plugin manager, means that some plugin parameter is set wrongly and the game is throwing a silent error. If that happens again, press F12, a browser window will open. Go to the CONSOLE tab and send a screenshot of what is in there.

----------------------------------------

I think I answered all your questions. Please, next time will be nice if you just jump some lines instead of writting a wall of text. It is better for reading for me and for anyone else who wants to jump in and help you. Now let me ask you some questions:

1 - Are you using the core plugin EliMZ_Book.js somewhere above all other Eli plugins?

2 - Did you read the help file? there is a link both on the plugin page and on the plugin help inside the editor plugin manager:

3 - Besides the help file, there is also a Sample Project with the plugin already configured and working to also help you understand how to use it. Did you took a look on the sample project? The link is also on the plugin page.

4 - Will be nice, instead of just telling me what you did, if you could show it to me. Screenshots of the plugin configurations and etc.

5 - I guess, my humble opinion, is everytime you wish to give a bad rate to something, in this case to a plugin, you should always contact the author first to see what is going on. I can see you are having difficult to use it, and I'm here to help you. After the help, if you still willing to give a bad rate, then go for it. If you do not like it at all, you can also ask for a refund on itch io. They will send me an e-mail to authorize and I will.

Hope we can figure things out. Keep in mind though  that using plugins in general, is for advanced users. If you are just starting with RPG Maker, is better if you keep away from them for now. Learn the engine first.

Nice!

Have fun ^^

Oh, my bad. I just saw on the help file that I put "<WAStates:...>". I think the problem is that the note tag is not on plural. Is without the "s". <WAState:ID>". Try without the S

I'm not managing to replicate the issue. Send me a sample project replicating the issue on discord:

hakuenstudio

• Did you see if your plugin parameters are set to true?
• When you hit the enemy with that skill, your Actor gain his bonus states? (WBStates)
• Did you try on a project with a few plugins or just the Eli Book and this one, to test compatibility?

The plugin also adds some data into the save file. I don't think that is the problem, but it is worth a shot to test by starting a new game.

Hi there!

I have added the feature you requested. Both in fact. You can add an state to the target. If you want that state to be like just an Icon, just make that state a dummy one, that does nothing and just have an icon.

Please download the new version 1.1.0 and read the updated help file! Thanks for the sugestion!

Hi there!

I think it's a nice feature! I will add both ways, and let the user decide which one he wants or none too. Thanks! Will let you know when I have done it!

No luck at all. With the Picture Manager and the Map Layers. With looping maps, the only thing that can stand still is a tile.  Everything I tried fix something but bug something else. I think that with looping maps, is just not possible put the pictures or map layers on static positions. Let me try to explain it better:

When a map has horizontal or vertical looping, it doesn’t really have a true “beginning” or “end”. If you walk too far to the right, you appear again on the left. If you walk too far down, you appear at the top. To the player, it feels like an infinite world, but in reality the game is just repeating the same map over and over, like copies placed side by side. The player and map events work well in this type of map because they are attached to the map itself. The game always knows exactly which tile an event belongs to and, as the camera moves, it automatically decides which copy of that event should be shown on the screen at that moment.

Pictures work in a different way. They are not part of the map. They were designed to be attached to the screen, like interface elements or visual effects. When we try to make a picture stay fixed on the map, we are forcing something that the original system was not designed to do.

In looping maps, the same map position exists in multiple copies at the same time. This means that a picture placed at that position would logically exist in many places at once, because the map is being repeated. The game then has to choose which “copy” of that picture it should draw on the screen. Depending on the camera position, this choice can change from one moment to the next.

That is why, at certain points on a looping map, the picture may disappear, appear on the opposite side of the screen, or seem to behave incorrectly. In reality, it is not broken. The game simply switched to drawing a different copy of the same position because the camera moved into another repetition of the map. There is no perfect way to prevent this, because in a looping map there is no single, absolute position in the world. Unlike events, pictures do not have built-in logic to automatically select the correct copy of the map where they should appear. For this reason, trying to keep pictures fixed to the map in looping maps will always produce strange behavior at some point.  At least for now, that is the conclusion I came up with.

The Origin(anchor) can be set on the Full Show Picture, inside the Main Settings, first option. You put that to "Center" and it still did not work? :/
