Remember making eternal event systems in old makers? Creating the numbers and words images? And the condition systems to show that numbers and words?
I remember, and hate xD. Maybe its just for the XP but... anyway this script will help in that things.
This script can show pictures based on a text line. The image will be treated lik ea normal picture loaded with the show picture event command. It have the same rules and can be moved, changue tone, erased, etc...
Then you need to put a command show picture with any image(its not used) and the values that you will put in a normal event command show picture. The script then creates creates a bitmap based on your text and options and loading a event picture with it.
-Optimitzed large lines support.
It includes advices to draw event variables.
Note: This is my first completed script. Its in development, tell me any suggerences or bugs. My english is bad, if you see some thing to improve in the instructions...
Complete instructions in the script.

Instalation and compatiility
----------------------------------
-Put this script before main.
-To use advance effects install MACL. Here: http://etheon.net/public/dl/macl_complete.txt
Here the forum thread: http://www.hbgames.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9417
-To install read the instructions. Anyway, you have to put before main but after
this script.
----------------------------------
Instructions
----------------------------------
This script can show pictures based on a text line. The image will be treated like
a normal picture loaded with the show picture event command. It have the same
rules and can be moved, changue tone, erased, etc...
A call script example:
@m = Message.new
@m.bold = true
@m.size = 48
@m.font = "Arial"
@m.italic = true
@m.color = Color.new(134,176,188,154)
@m.t"Text to show"
Then you need to put a command show picture with any image(its not used) and the
values that you will put in a normal event command show picture. The script then creates
creates a bitmap based on your text and options and loading a event picture with it.
You have to use this structure of call script+show picture to use this new command.
----------------------------------
Options and meanings
----------------------------------
Basic options. Description before #:
@m = Message.new # Dont changue or remove this. Always the first thing.
@m.bold = true # Bold letter
@m.size = 48 # Size of the font
@m.font = "Arial" # Fontname
@m.italic = true # Cursive italic
@m.color = Color.new(134,176,188,154) # Text basic color.
@m.t"Wep" # Text to write in the brackets "".
Advanced options. Only with MACL.
@m.shadow = true # Shadowed font
@m.s_color = Color.new(134,176,188,154) # Shadow color
@m.outline = true # Shows a outline
@m.o_color = Color.new(134,176,188,154) # Outline color
@m.horiz_grad = true # Horizontal gradient with two colors
@m.vert_grad = true # Vertical gradient with two colors
@m.g1_color = Color.new(134,176,188,154) # Gradiet Starting color
@m.g2_color = Color.new(1,255,188,154) # Gradiet Endig color
-The only fixed option is @m = Message.new. If you only put this will chargue
a picture based only in your predefenided values.
-Then you have to compose your call scripts adding a option in a new line every time
This a example:
Show message "Noooooo", size 16 and horizontal gradient with defined colors:
@m = Message.new
@m.t"Nooooooooooooooooo"
@m.size = 16
@m.horiz_grad = true
@m.g1_color = Color.new(134,176,188,154)
@m.g2_color = Color.new(1,255,188,154)
-The order dont care. The only rule is to put the @m = Message.new first.
-The two gradients use the same colors values.
-Incompatible effects: the two gradients, shadow/outline.
-Remember to quit the #'s.
-You can make a large call script in two call scripts, simply continue writting
in the next. The other option is:
@m.size = 16 ; @m.horiz_grad = true
The ; is a ruby line internal separator. Its like they are in different lines.
-Some advice about the values:
Color.new(134,176,188,154) Red,Green,Blue+alpha Only changue the numbers. 0-255.
"Texts": You must use the "" and the text inside of them.
true/false: It means Active or Inactive. For example to write bold: @m.bold = true
If the sucker call script gives you strange errors this is what you can try:
-Recolocate the larger scripts lines: spaces,intros,etc
-Add a new option at the end, event if its inactive one.
--------------------------------------------
Advices to write the text
--------------------------------------------
-To only write a event variable value :
@m.t$game_variables[variable_id].to_s
-Complex phrases:
@m.t"HP:"+$game_variables[variable_id].to_s+" "+"Z"
It writes HP:var Z.
-In ruby the + concatenate words to make larger ones.
-Use " " if you need some spaces or aligns
-Respect the "" word delimitators.
-The $game_variables[variable_id].to_s dont use "", but internslly its treated like a word
-variable_id: The number ID of a event variable
----------------------------------
Long lines
----------------------------------
Call script command suck for these. This a example of what you have to do:
@m.t"HP:"+$game_variables[variable_id].to_s
@m.t" MP:"+$game_variables[variable_id2].to_s
@m.t" Limit: "+$game_variables[variable_id3].to_s
The script automatically concatenates all. Just write it in order.
------------------------
Default values
------------------------
If you need this, you can make your predefenided values for all the options.
With this, the command can be shorter, removing the lines you dont need.
The constants names are Def_font_+ the option of the @ that you alreadyknow.
