Tutorial: more than 4 lines / bigger text box

[Burgerland]

I was trying to figure out a way to display the horse race scores for my game without scrolling text or multiple text boxes, and figured out the answer from here: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/big-text-display.86569/

In Game Window js, edit the Window Message VisibleRows value to any number. I edited mine to 14.

Then, in a script call (not in conditional branch), add the following. It does not need to equal the value in Game Window js, but only the number of lines you want displayed in the present text box:

text = "line1\nline2\nline3\nline4\nline5\nline6\nline7\nline8.
$gameMessage.add(text)

It should look like this:

You should get this - a bigger text box and more lines:

You can also use Message Core (YEP) to do this.

Ohhhh, this is cool!
And there's a plugin specifically for this as well. So I'll leave it here, in case some find it as a more convenient method.

Both of these work great! Thank you and Happy new year

While there are plugins that ostensibly do this, having a quick tutorial on this is actually very helpful. In some cases there are plugin conflicts and the easiest thing to do is just make a quick change yourself.

I would not change the core files directly though - if you update your project to a new version, you would have to remember to redo the change. Better to make a teeny plugin with just that mod.
