Vertical Screen resize

[Vanessa]

Hi, in short i tried VNM in my free times,
and i was thinking about a super lite VN which is fit to vertical mobile phone size.

Out of curiousity, i have questions regards things mainly for customizing screen element's default orientation.

Here's following the screenshot,

I need the Dialogue doesn't get too far from the character name, otherwise i feel it would be nicer
if i could change the character name into a bigger size.

Also, i do think about the dialogue below character name. Either way is nice as long as everything can
be fitted to this Vertical screen size orientation.


Is there's anyone who could help me with this?

:'D thank you.

To fit the message box, you need to use create message area, set target or modify via scripting.

For the namebox, you either use commands for this or modify via scripting. I'm about to sleep but I'll show you some of my extensions that can do this.

Hi Vanessa,

you can use the command Create Message Area to create a custom message area on the screen with any size of position you like. After that you have to use Set Message Target command and select the Number of the new message area you just created to make sure all Show Message commands now go into that new message area.

With that new message area, you can easily move it more to the left. For the messed up layout, what did you change? Also, maybe you can give us a mockup of what you UI you would like to have?

A mockup will be great.

I tried tinkering it by myself and i can't do that. (was set it on direct position but the dialogue are still there)
i assume maybe because i resized the screen orientation, but i don't know...

I still don't know how to use this Orz

here's my set
