Need help with dialogue from file

[Sheklon]

Trihan's dialogue from file is a great script for time effectiveness and quick editing when you have lots of dialogues. I wanted to use it to optimize my project's development as it has many dialogues and I'm frequently making small changes to them. Also, not having to worry too much about word wrapping is an awesome plus.

The problem is that, additionally, I'm using Yanfly's Ace Core, which allows you to change your display resolution to 640x480 (like it was in RMXP) - I'm also using Ace Message System, but I haven't noticed any incompatibilities.

While Trihan's script does work with Ace Core Engine, it seems to be built under the original screen size standard for VX Ace. So this is what happens when we put those two scripts together:

Would anyone happen to know how to fix this? Is there an easy way out? Or is there a similar script to Trihan's that already works with Yanfly's?

Also, another question: is it possible to add line breaks with Trihan's dialogue?

Here's a demo with the intro dialogue from my project.

And one last thing: this is a bug, right?

Wrong wrapping? If the screen size predicted by the script is 544 width, it wouldn't be enough to show those couple last words, would it?

Bump.
I really need word wrapping and name boxes, so... I am considering to try Modern Algebra's script, but I never used it before. It also still does not address the issue of using a separate .txt for dialogue, which is crucial for updating dialogues and having language control.

The issue is the color change. The characters in the line are counted towards the total length of the message. So it gets shortened if the length is more than the message width. Just as the script is supposed to work, but it is not excluding the \C[0] code.
640 x 480

Not sure how to fix it though. something to do with gsub

Oh, well. This weird. That was unexpected, but thank you for pointing it out.

It's kinda weird that the script does that, while it's supposed to be compatible with message commands. In fact, the message commands are functional, so it's weird that Trihan didn't predict that.

Anyway, I dug deeper into different places and found out another script that seems to do the trick. It's Enelvon's External Text and so far my tests are working. Thank you for taking your time to help, though!

P.S.: If anyone wishes to use the same scripts and is in need of help to understand how to implement them, feel free to send me a private message.
