How to Use

To show a new popup message, call the following method:

IAVRA:OPUP.show("abc")The window height will automatically fit to the number of text lines.The method takes an optional hash, which can be used to override the default settings on a per-window basis, like this:

IAVRA:OPUP.show("abc", {:width => 200})Also, the method can take an optional block, that will be called once the popup window is created. "self" inside the proc is set to the window itself:
You can use all message codes in your text, but need to double backslashes for everything except newlines (\n).The popup will fade out over time and dispose itself afterwards.

Popups are global and will persist between scenes. Certain scenes can be set to dispose existing popups by modifying the DISPOSE_ON_SCENE constant.

Configuration

The default options for popup windows can be modified by setting the following variables:

DEFAULT_OPTIONS = { # Window width :width => 400, # Minimum number of lines to display. Can be nil. :min_lines => nil, # Maximum number of lines to display. Can be nil. :max_lines => nil, # Height of a single line. Set to nil for default. :line_height => nil, # Window padding. Set to nil for default. adding => nil, # Spacing between windows. The update method can use this. :spacing => 10, # Windowskin to be used. Set to nil for default. :windowskin => nil, # Number of frames before the window starts fading. :fade_delay => 120, # Rate at which the window fades out after the delay. :fade_rate => 10, # Update method to be used. :update_method => ush_older_up}The z-index of the popup viewport can also be changed:
Popups are global and persist between scenes, but since you wouldn't want your popups to be shown on the title screen, you can set some scenes to dispose all popups once they become active.
If this array contains "Scene_Base", popups will reset on every scene change.Terms of Use
