[SOLVED] Showing all message choices

[Moon_Haven]

Hi all. This one is driving me nuts, can't figure what plugin to modify...

I'm using Yanfly message core.

When positioning my message box at the top of the screen, all 6 message choices do show up.

Spoiler

But when I position the message box in the middle, only 4 options show up.

Spoiler

What I want to do is to position the message box about 200px from the top of the screen, have 4 lines of text and then when message options show up, show ALL of them, not truncated to max 4 message options.

I don't mind hard-coding stuff in the plugins... I just can't find which one I need to modify.

Is anyone able to help?

Thanks!

Can you modify the choices position so It's at the top of the message box?

Edit: what happens if you press down a bunch? Does it scroll to the other choices?

Ideally no. This, made with image editor (Gimp) is what I want to achieve:

So your magic schools are: Red, Gold, Green, Birch and Obscurus? Ooooh! can you grow tree's with the birch shcool of magic?

The main text window is Window_Message; the choice window is Window_ChoiceList. The code for both of these is found in rpg_windows.js.

I think this is the method you're seeking:

Spoiler: Window_ChoiceList > numVisibleRows

Window_ChoiceList.prototype.numVisibleRows = function() {
    var messageY = this._messageWindow.y;
    var messageHeight = this._messageWindow.height;
    var centerY = Graphics.boxHeight / 2;
    var choices = $gameMessage.choices();
    var numLines = choices.length;
    var maxLines = 8;
    if (messageY < centerY && messageY + messageHeight > centerY) {
        maxLines = 4;   // <-- This line!
    }
    if (numLines > maxLines) {
        numLines = maxLines;
    }
    return numLines;
};

You could try copying that method into a plugin, with the maxLines = 4 if clause removed.

Schools of Magic
Following the end of The Great War a few centuries ago, the Mage Council decided that only the following five schools shall be allowed to be taught:

• Rubeus (Red): Raw power, fire, destruction.
• Aurum (Yellow): Energy, electricity, balance.
• Viridis (Green): Nature, protection, growth.
• Caerulus (Blue): Mind, control, retribution.
• Obscurus (Purple): Life, death, underworld.

The main text window is Window_Message; the choice window is Window_ChoiceList. The code for both of these is found in rpg_windows.js.

THANK YOU!!! I wasn't even looking in the right folder, no wonder why I could not find it!
