Oh, one plugin from Pheonix Kagedesu came to MZ. *Ragnarok is near*
Cccooooooooooolll!!!
Me, as you... well, you know (I'm HuskyTrooper by the way), will be able to use it commercially?
Gonna wait for ABS and much better, NET in MZ.

 

[Pheonix KageDesu]

Gonna wait for ABS and much better, NET in MZ.

Thank you. Yes, ABS and NET planned for MZ as well

will be able to use it commercially?

I can answer you in PM about this, if you need.

will this work on mobile? When you touch the words instead of hovering over them?

 

[wyhzcm]

well done！

Version 1.0 - not, but maybe i will implement Mobile support in the update.

 

[RainbowGrenade]

Very cool!

 

[ArcherBanish]

Ah finally something like this!
It reminds me of the very useful system in the game Tyranny, they used it to tell you things your character knew, but you may not remember.
I'm using this in my short game I am making to give the player some hints about the world it takes place in.

Dear Phoenix KageDesu, hope you are well!
I love this plugin, but it is incompatible with another plugin I am using (Eli Message Actions - Link). When they are both ON, hers works but yours doesn't.
Is there anything that can be done to solve this? Otherwise, I'll avoid using Eli's plugin. Thanks in advance and sorry for bothering.
PS: I speak a bit of russian if you feel more confortable.

Is there an option in future for MV release?

 

[Pheonix KageDesu]

Is there an option in future for MV release?

Yes, soon I will make update and add RPG Maker MV support. Maybe some new features too. If anyone have suggestion let me know before i open this plugin in code editor.

 

[Soulrender]

It would be good if hint load its text from txt file with text code, e.g \hint[1] will display line #1 from Such file, plugin parameter is not flexible as separate text file, especialy when switching between windows

 

[Koa707]

Definitely looking forward to an MV release of this!

I use a lot of your plugins and anytime you release a new one I am always excited to incorporate it into my project. I would love to add this one as a way to add lore and instructions for the player.

 

[Pheonix KageDesu]

@Pheonix KageDesu I got a question, on the demo, when you select item
in the item menu (menu -> item) it shows the helpWindow on selecting,
or on mouse destination.

is it possible to use that as "MouseOver" like the same as text?

as txt can be used (which is nice or structure), there is also a
weapon or armor with "<pHint: ID>" which I believe was in the PRO version?
of does that only count as battle skills, battle items?

if it's the 2nd one, than im really good with the basic version.
as I have description window on the item scene, I can add some
"hidden" effects if mouse over rather than on item select/item select mouse destination.

while I use key items mostly, if mouse over isn't possible or minor change
in the code to switch that "use mouse", than im happy with message window only
as well.

 

[Pheonix KageDesu]

is it possible to use that as "MouseOver" like the same as text?

Yes, plugin have Parameter <At mouse pos> for that and in Demo it "false"

weapon or armor with "<pHint: ID>" which I believe was in the PRO version?
of does that only count as battle skills, battle items?

Weapons, Armors and Items supports <pHint:ID> in Basic version
But Skills -> Pro version only
