#==============================================================================

#

#  INTRODUCTION:

#  

#  I did this years ago, but recreated it per a request. This script acts

#  in place of a show_text command, reading an outside file and rendering 

#  its contents in a message box.

#

#  It can read from Txt files in a specified directory, or from converted

#  rxdata files within the Data folder.   Please note, only files encryp-

#  ted into  .rxdata format will properly compress and encrypt within the

#  Data folder  if you choose to compress\encrypt a final encrypted game.

#  Text files do not encrypt  and must be sent with the final Game.rgssad

#  product.

#  

#  For those interested in converting their files into .rxdata format,  I

#  included two additional  script calls  that will convert text files to

#  and from .rxdata format.

#

#

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#

#  NOTES ON USAGE:

#

#  As stated above, this system will work with normal text files or files

#  changed into .rxdata format. The .rxdata files must be kept within the

#  game's Data  while the .txt format files  must be held within a folder

#  as set by a specified directory. The name of that folder is set by the

#  script's one configurable value: MTFF_TXTFOLDER. Right now, that value

#  is currently set to a folder named Text (imaginative, eh?).

#

#

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  

#  SCRIPT COMMANDS:

#  

#  messagefile(filename)

#     * This command reads a .txt/.rxdata file from its location and calls

#       the show message command to render it.

#

#  simple_txt_to_rgss(filename)

#     * This command reads a text file from the specified text file folder

#       and converts it into an .rxdata file within the Data folder. It is

#       a destructive call and will erase any previously made .rxdata file.

#

#  simple_rgss_to_txt(filename)

#     * This command reads an .rgss file from the Data folder and converts

#       it into a .txt file within the specifiled text file folder.  It is

#       a destructive command and will erase any previously made .txt file.

#

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#  

#  COMPATABILITY AND ISSUES

#

#  This script merely creates three new script calls and does not alter or

#  overwrite any of the default code.  As such, this script should be com-

#  patible with any existing RPGMaker XP message system.

#

#

#==============================================================================

#

#  TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

#

#  Free for use, even in commercial games.  And as this script was requested

#  by Whisper, you have to give both of us credit for this script.

#

#==============================================================================

#==============================================================================

#

# THE ONE CONFIGURABLE VALUE:

#

# Set the folder name for Txt files (again, this folder will not encrypt into

# an .rgssad product.  

#  

  MTFF_TXTFOLDER = "Text"

#

# NOTE:  A folder with this name MUST be in the root directory of the project

#        and is where all text files will be located.
