Hi Guys

I've had RPG Maker MV for a few days now and it's my First one so...  But i am getting there

I am having one problem I can't seem to figure out, during my Event/Switch the text dialogue just appears really fast and then moves on. Is there away i can slow it down or make it so it waits for a Button press before it loads the next dialogue box.

I dunno if that made sense but any help would be great :)

Thanks in Advance

It shouldn't.  Text should ALWAYS wait for the player to hit the button before it disappears, unless you've used one of the escape codes to not wait for user input.  I suspect you haven't.

Can you please show us a screenshot of the event?  Make sure to include the whole event page, and specify which text this happens to (or all of them).  And are you using any plugins (if so, which ones?), or do you have any game controllers plugged into your computer?

How to take a Screenshot:

You've heard people say to take a screenshot, but how does one take a screenshot of their game? Simple, while the game is running, hit the Prt Scr button on your keyboard, which is located right next to your F12 key. If you're using a laptop, you might have to use the Fn key in combination with the Prt Scr key to get it to work.


Now that you've pressed the button, it's time to paste this screenshot into an image editing software. If you don't have anything fancy such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP or Paint.NET, no worries; you can use MS Paint instead. Open up your image editing software, create a new file, and then hit ctrl+v on your keyboard, or simply right click on the screen and select paste. This should instantly paste the screenshot into your image editing software. You can go ahead and crop the image to suit your needs, or if you don't even know what that means, you can just upload it as it is.


Save the image as a PNG, or if you really need to, as a high quality JPG.


How to upload the image to the forums
Now that you have you have an image on your computer you'd like to show us, how can you get it to show up on the forums? Firstly, you need to find an image hosting site, photobucket.com or imageshack.us are popular ones. If you have another image uploading website, great - use that one! Either way, upload it to the site, and then get the direct link. Don't get the resized link, or the thumbnail link, but the direct URL. You'll know you have the direct URL if the URL ends with the file extension you saved your image in (which will hopefully be .png).

Once you have this direct URL to your image, simply use the IMG tags in your forum post and paste the URL in between them. If this image is big, please leave the image in spoiler tags.

Work smarter, not harder. There are free tools like Hyperdesktop which can take whole/partial screenshots and then automatically upload them to Imgur.

Don't forget, aspiring writers: Personality isn't what your characters do, it is WHY they do it.
Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
