There are several crafting plugins out there, but I need one that does something specific. I need it to allow for multiple inputs/ingredients to produce multiple different outputs/results. I've found one plugin that meets these criteria, but it has a problem. It's called Simple Crafting made by Mr. Trivel found here:
http://www.rpgmakercentral.com/topic/37937-crafting/

The problem I've run into is that if you put too many inputs or outputs the in-game window will cut the list text off. (If you would like to see a picture displaying this issue, just ask and I will put one up.) I've been unable to find a way to contact Mr. Trivel, the author, and have posted a thead in the Javascript/Plugin support section. I haven't come up with a working solution for the plugin yet so I thought I'd instead ask if someone can find another crafting plugin that meets my needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Can anyone help?

While I appreciate your suggestion, this plugin does not allow for multiple inputs and multiple outputs. The tutorial is very nice, but doesn't specify a way to create multiple different items from the same recipe. Nor does the plugin's help section.

As an example of what I need this plugin to accomplish:
Say the player wished to craft scrambled eggs. The would put in 2 eggs and a frying pan, which would both be consumed. It would spit out the desired scrambled eggs along with a different item: a dirty frying pan.

Have you tried contacting Mr. Trivel himself? Maybe try leaving a comment on the post.

I've tried. The forum I linked to, doesn't allow for any new posts. I left a comment on his youtube video about the plugin, but other than that I can't find any way to contact him. He doesn't have any contact information anywhere, at least, not that I could find.

Have you tried making your own evented crafting system? What you're describing can easily be done with conditional branches and variables.

Yeah, that's sitting as my last resort. I'm hoping things don't come to that, because there are a lot of recipes to put into the game. Eventing them all will be quite the task, so if there's the option of a plugin, that would be great.

You might want to contact the script creator and see if they can prevent the list cut off.

I could take a wack at correcting the cut-off if you'd like me to, but altering another author's script is a bit of an intrusion to that author.

Thank you all for all your suggestions and offered help. I've finally managed to create a makeshift solution using Mr. Trivel's Crafting Plugin. I monkeyed around in the code for awhile and cut down on the space taken up by the info in the info window, allowing for more to be shown. This doesn't exactly fix the cut off problem, but it allows for my to list more than twice the results/ingredients as before. Sit can handle most of my recipes. Some I may need to cut down, but for the most part this works for me.

Once again I appreciate all your help. Thank you everyone!

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
