[Unsupported] Game Strings (Streamline dialogue!)
#1
Game Strings
Version: 1.1

Introduction
This script pretty much attempts to help the developer streamline dialogue by allowing the developer to set up strings.

Features
  • Set the value of each string.
  • Change strings in-game using $game_strings[id] = value with call script.
  • Use strings in messages with the \st[id] command.
  • Use strings in item/skills/equipment descriptions with the \st[id] command. (A last minute feature)

Screenshots

Demo
.zip   Game Strings.zip (Size: 257.1 KB / Downloads: 7)

Script
The script cannot fit into this post. Download the demo.

Instructions
Setting up the strings:
To set up the strings, jump to line #261 or wherever "def customize" may be and start setting them up.

Changing strings in-game:
Call Script: $game_strings[id] = value

Using strings in your messages:
Type \st[id]
Note that you may also use the \st[id] command for descriptions of items, skills and equipment.

The string ids that need to fetch data/variables:
Please include the id of a string that does this so it can constantly update. It's in the Game_Strings_Update array located in the PK8 class.

FAQ
I don't want to use the preset strings!
Then don't use them?

Compatibility
This script aliases...
  • set - Game_Strings (my own custom class)
  • set_text - Window_Help < Window_Base
  • convert_special_characters - Window_Message < Window_Selectable
  • update - Scene_Base
  • create_game_objects - Scene_Title < Scene_Base
  • write_save_data - Scene_File < Scene_Base
  • read_save_data - Scene_File < Scene_Base

Credits and Thanks
I don't know who to thank, I've forgotten who to thank since I've worked on this for pretty much a week now.

Thanks Lowell/Wulfspade for talking about adding the ability to parse the string command into descriptions of items/equipment/skills.

Author's Notes
I'm not exactly sure what made me want to go ahead and script this. I guess  it all started when I was checking to see if I could create strings via Game Variables which I was able to. But then I wanted to make it it's own thing. Just a separate place to hold game strings. I would really like to make a RMXP version of this someday but I can't. :(

Terms and Conditions
This is exclusive to RMVXP.
