Yanfly message positioning with a 2x zoom

[RoseRainblood]

Hi all,

This has been an issue I've been trying to fix for a while.

Yanfly's Message Core and ExtMesPack1 allow me to position a message above an event's head with \msgevent[x]. It works perfectly when RPG Maker MV doesn't have a zoom on it, but when at 2x zoom, the positioning is off.

I've found the JS in ExtMesPack1 that changes the positioning and added +48 due to the 2x zoom:

if (eventId <= 0) {
x = $gamePlayer.screenX();
y = $gamePlayer.screenY();
y -= $gamePlayer.spriteHeight()+48;
} else {
var ev = $gameMap.event(eventId);
if (ev) {
x = ev.screenX();
y = ev.screenY();
y -= ev.spriteHeight()+48;
}
}
}

It works for the player when a message is above their head, which is great. It's exactly where it should be but it doesn't work for events. The positioning is still slightly off for them. Does anyone know what I need to change in this code to get it to work for events?

This is the zoom script I'm using. (I have it placed in a parallel event on each map)
var xPos = $gamePlayer.screenX();
var YPos = $gamePlayer.screenY();

$gameScreen.setZoom(xPos, YPos, 2)

I also tried out MSB_MapZoom which works wonderfully as a zoom plugin and saves me having a parallel event script on every map, but sadly the message boxes are even more out of position with this plugin.

I was commissioned a bit ago to make such a plugin. It has many many features.
Still perfecting it but hey I guess I'll early release to the public since it seems to be needed

Here's a couple very small sample of how an event could be set up...

See page screenshots for more info. I'm getting quite lazy at explaining how my plugins work lol.

Well let me know how it goes.
Been really trying to thoroughly test this one. Seems to be working pretty nicely for me.

I am charging a minimum of $2.00 for this one though, I spent quite a bit of time developing this one.
(though if you really really really can't afford the cost I could possibly donate for a good cause)

This is pretty neat. I bought it and gave it a try. It's not working successfully for me currently. Where would I need to place this plugin?

If I place it above Yanfly's Message Core/ExtMesPack1, the messages above the heads doesn't work. However, if I place it BELOW those plugins, the messages above the heads do work. And that's great. Unfortunately doing that makes the text messages/choice boxes etc go off center in some scenes and towards the far bottom right of the screen. It does this even with all plugins disabled minus Yanfly's Message Core/ExtMesPack1. When I disable them, the text is fine and not off center anymore. But of course, I need those plugins enabled. :')

There's also type error when going into the menu/inputting text to name a character:"Cannot read property 'pages' of null". I started a new game but it still happened so I'm disabling plugins to find out what the cause of it is.

This plugin would be perfect for me if I can get it working so I'm hoping there's an easy fix to these issues.

Thank you for the purchase!

Place below Yanfly's plugins and most likely below all other plugins too for best results.

Oh me goodness!? Woops! That's a pretty big problem... sorry about that. I knew I needed more testing...
Fixed please download v0.92. Seems to be working now for me.

Hmm... couldn't replicate this one... not sure what that's about really...
...but I think I fixed the issue... please try and let me know.

Hope that fixed all the issues. Sorry again about that. Please let me know how it goes for ya

Thanks again for testing and purchasing.

Shouldn't have to pay again right? ...If so I'll just send you a direct link.

I've found out that the Plugin that causes the type error "Cannot read property 'pages' of null" is Yanfly's Event Mini Label plugin. Luckily that's not one of the plugins I need, so I turned it off and everything is working fine.

Also, the text being off center and on the right is fine now. It may have been my fault, due to having the old x and y \msgpos still there. Now I've removed that, it's working great!

Thank you so much for this plugin. It will save me a lot of time! If I come across any other issues, I will be sure to let you know.

No prob. Yay! Very glad to hear it's working now again. I still want to do a few more things to this one yet myself like better scroll & more plugin command options.
Also I'll fix the issue with mini-label too though just for best compatibility
Now fixed the issue with Yanfly Mini Event Label Plugin

Edit:
@RoseRainblood: The problem with Yanfly Mini Event Label Plugin is now fixed
v0.93 Compatiblility/Bugfix: Now works with Yanfly Mini Event Label Plugin


Thanks again for testing

Happy Game Making
