How to customize battle text?

[garbagebags]

Hey everyone! I'm looking to customize my text when a skill is used. Pretty much the same style as found when editing dialog. I attempted using \. and \| in the "Using Message" text box in the skills database, but they don't work. Anyone have any idea how this can be done?


Thanks!

By default, text codes only work in the show text command.


If you want them to work in the database, you'll need a script - search for modern algebra's "Global Text Codes", that can do that.


Just make sure that you configure it correctly - the text codes will not work if all you do is to put the script in, it needs special handling.

Thank you both for the replies. I've test both of these scripts and unfortunately they don't work for what I'd like to do. Color modification works just fine, but using the time control characters (\. or \|) doesn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?


I'm using this in the skills section "Using message"

timing escape codes work only on Window_Message. it would be needed a complet rewrite on how the battlelog writes text to allows them. I don't think there is anyone willing to to such huge change for a such small effect.
