Thanks for the info!

Also, you were right, your change fixes the issue! I initially got a crash, but it was because I made a mistake setting up the text offset - nothing to do with the localization part. Cheers.

Sorry if I'm being stupid, but I just want to be 100% sure - does having no terms of use amount to being free to use commercially? I ask because I don't have any terms of use for my photography, for example, but I'm pretty sure I could still enforce copyright if I wanted to.

Also, thanks! I'm going to try again tonight when I'm on my laptop, but I think I've tried your exact solution, and it didn't work. If I remember it correctly, it threw a script error here:

      self.x = character.screen_x - self.width / 2 + character.offset_text[0]

EDIT: Actually, no, that would make no sense. I think the script error happened when I included \loc[1] in the comment without modifying the script. When I modified the script, I believe I got a method error? I'll check again tonight.

Great script! I have two questions:

- If I decide to go commercial with my game (not sure I will), am I allowed to use the VXA version of this script?

- I have been able to make this script work with pretty much all text I'm using in my game, except for this modified version of an Atelier RGSS script. Would it be complicated to make both scripts work together? I need to be able to have a comment like <Text = \loc[1]>

No worries! Also, I'm pretty sure you can simplify the event even further. On the same page:

Conditional Branch: if Input.trigger?(YOUR_BUTTON)
> Play SE
> Self Switch A = ON
End

Conditional Branch: if Input.release?(YOUR_BUTTON)
> Fade SE
> Self Switch A = OFF
End

I'd also include a wait command in there to reduce lag (start at 15 and go down until you don't notice a delay).

A second fade command might override the first (instead of only being run when the first is finished). I can't try it right now, but place this right after the ".play" script call:

Audio['La#2´].fade(1,100)

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I'm pretty sure it happens with MP3 and WAV files (MP3s are tricky to loop anyway, because there's always a bit of silence when they are encoded.) I haven't tried it with OGG files because I want to avoid codec dependencies. I'm not using the MCI Audio Player as a full replacement, so if the user doesn't have a codec, I don't want some sounds to play but not others.

And yes, I'm aware the script is only a wrapper, but I was wondering whether there was a possible workaround. When I use the seek command, I don't hear a gap, so maybe there is a way to trigger it right before the song is over, taking us to the start without ever "officially" starting over? That way we could avoid the troublesome MCI repeat command, looping the audio seamlessly.

This is amazing! Seriously, one of the best scripts I've ever seen.

I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to loop sounds seamlessly? When using the RPG Maker VX Ace sound engine, I can loop .wav files without problems. When I use MCI, I can still loop the file, but not seamlessly. There's always a gap.

2. Can this script be used commercially? I'm very far from finishing my project, but if I'm happy with it, I'd consider releasing it commercially.
