Longer choice texts?

[brandos]

Is there a way to allow more letters for the choices? Especially when you use a higher resolution this would help a lot.

In the default engine the system automatically sets it so that the choice box is at least as big as the largest text (or the graphics width, whichever is smaller). If that is not proving true with the high resolution dll and scripts then someone has overwritten the def update_placement under the class Window_Choicelist.

Though, I did discover the calculation does not account for escape characters well, so if you have many of those you can manually set the width of the box by changing how it is calculated under the update_placement function.

A quick work around:


Write the choices out in a regular text window, like this:


1. This is a choice


2. This is an even longer choice


3. This is option number 3


4. This is the last one.


And then have the choice command only list the numbers the player can select (since the choice window is a separate window that pops out, so the text stays in view).

Modern Algebra's Choice Options script allow you to have long, muti-line choices. Is that what you're looking for?

Thanks for the suggestion but it's causing problem with a high resolution dll.

I don't know any other scripts with that feature, so (unless I'm wrong) you'll have to try to get in touch with Modern Algebra to see if he's willing to make a compatibility patch or go to the script request section.

I can't be of more help, sorry. Good luck.

What is the problem it's causing? Saying there's a problem without giving any information doesn't really give us much to go on.
