MYTH_CGC_TextFormatPlus is a plugin overhauls how text is drawn onto cards.
Current Version: 1.0.2
Card descriptions now word-wrap automatically, and for that matter, so do names! You can use '\n', '\BR', or '<br>' to manually linebreak, but you can also still hit enter in a description box (as long as there's room) to linebreak.
Note: If you see plugin parameters in this plugin that are duplicates of/serve a duplicate function to plugin parameters in the core CardGameCombat plugin, ignore the ones of the core plugin and use the ones here. They've been duplicated to assist with organization.
Example: Card Name Font Size appears in this plugin and in the core plugin. It's the same parameter, but this plugin overwrites the core's parameter.
Regarding fonts
If you are using YEP_LoadCustomFonts for MV, you can ignore this section and follow the help section of that plugin.
This plugin will allow any font as long as it is included in the fonts folder and the file name is exactly the same name as the font name.
What this means is, for example, if you want Comic Sans to be included, you may copy the font from your system fonts to the fonts folder and discover that it contains a series of font files, the main one being called “comic.ttf”. You will need to rename that file to “Comic Sans MS.ttf” for this plugin to load it properly.
Renaming font files doesn't cause any issues as far as I can tell.
Text Styles
By default, RPG Maker adds an outline to all text. This parameter allows you to decide if you want to continue that behavior when drawing each element of text on a card, or if you want to change that behavior.
The options are:
| Default | Use the same behavior that all other text has in the game. This will be an outline unless you have any other plugins modifying how text is drawn. |
| Outline | Use the vanilla RPG Maker outline text drawing behavior, ignoring any other plugins you use which modify how text is drawn. |
| Shadow | Use a black drop shadow underneath the text. |
| None | Just draw the text. |
For most users, there will be no difference between Default and Outline.
Text Style Values
This is a number that is relevant for Default/Outline and Shadow text styles.
When drawing an outline, this represents the outline width. Default is 4.
When drawing a drop shadow, this is the amount of pixels offset from the regular text that the drop shadow will be. Recommended value is 2 based on font sizes.
This value is unused for None because nothing interesting is happening.
Refresh Card Text info
Many games modify card cost, or put damage calculations inside the description of the card. Setting this parameter to ON will allow card text to update whenever you play a card and immediately after a skill is used, so that their text information is always up-to-date.
However, for games that don't do this, we have given the option to turn this feature off as an optimization measure. We've noticed a small dip in the framerate when card text refreshes which is not significant in our testing environment but might be annoying for some users who aren't even using the feature.
You can also manually refresh all card text by using the following code:
Isiah.CGC.refreshCardText();
This works whether Refresh Card Text is on or off.
