I really need help to change settings for item's description

[Luke85]

Hi! (sorry for my english!)

I need to decrease the font size ONLY in the item's description font, where I can do it?

I found "windows_help" but any change in that code isn't reducing the font! I'm newbie in script ^_^

Plus: how I can force the game to show me the item's description on THREE lines instead of two?

Two lines aren't enough, I set a bigger height size for the description window and I would love if I can control the number of lines.

I need these 2 modifications to show a longer description text for each item 

I'm creating an RPG game based a lot on dialogues, descriptions, texts, etc

Thank you so much!!! ^_^

For the font size reduction, put the code (like the one used in the show message) in the description.  I've tried using \v[x] to show a variable's value and it works which would also apply to the other codes.

For the number of lines, you'll need to edit the script.  It's somewhere in the Windows section.  I tried doing the same thing but I can't recall where exactly it is located.  I'll look into one of my test projects.

The things I said above only applies if you aren't really going to resort to external scripts.

Put this code into your script list

class Window_Help < Window_Base  def reset_font_settings    change_color(normal_color)    contents.font.size = 15 # <-- change it here ~    contents.font.bold = Font.default_bold    contents.font.italic = Font.default_italic  endend

After 1 week I finally found where the lines are!

Is "def initialize(line_number = 2)" in Windows_Help class, just change the default number to the desired one

I write it here, maybe this will help someone!

THANKS for the code!!!!

Test that - does it work? I'd be a bit surprised. You also need a way to GET 3 lines of description into your items.


theodoric's suggestion will change ALL descriptions to a smaller font, not just items. You'll need to specify if that's acceptable, or if you ONLY want it to affect items.

For the lines, I found that number and it works fine!

For his font code, that I put in Window_Help, works on all text in that windows, same thing for italic that I set. for example, in Load and Save I can't have the default settings right now. I tried to put the same code in Scene_Load and Scene_Save but I't doesn't work, he take the code in the WIndow_Help.

So, if possible, It would be GREAT to reduce size and apply italic ONLY for items and not for all the rest too... ^_^

Hello!

I'm new here and translating a hentai game.

Put this code into your script list

class Window_Help < Window_Base def reset_font_settings change_color(normal_color) contents.font.size = 15 # <-- change it here ~ contents.font.bold = Font.default_bold contents.font.italic = Font.default_italic endend

...
theodoric's suggestion will change ALL descriptions to a smaller font, not just items. You'll need to specify if that's acceptable, or if you ONLY want it to affect items.

Does anybody know how to specify the font size change for the items's descriptions ONLY with TheoAllen's method? Adding more lines at "def initialize(line_number = 2)" would be the last resort......

Has a solution been made?

Please start a NEW thread with your question.


The answer will involve creating a new class based on the Window_Help class and changing the item window to use the new class instead.
