The Message Core plugin adds more functionality to the default RPG Maker MV message system, enabling more text codes, a name box, and adjustable message window sizes!
Introduction
While RPG Maker MV Ace certainly improved the message system a whole lot, it wouldn’t hurt to add in a few more features, such as name windows, converting textcodes to write out the icons and/or names of items, weapons, armours, and* more in quicker fashion. This script also gives the developer the ability to adjust the size of the message window during the game, give it a separate font, and to give the player a text fast-forward feature.
Word Wrapping
Word wrapping is now possible through the message system. You can enable and disable Word wrap using Plugin Commands. While using word wrap, if the word is to extend past the message window’s area, it will automatically go to the following line. That said, word wrap will disable the editor’s line breaks and will require you to use the ones provided by the plugin:
<br> or <line break> is text code to apply a line break. Use this before or after a part in which you wish to start a new line.
Text Codes
By using certain text codes in your messages, you can have the game replace them with the following:
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

And those are the text codes added with this script. Keep in mind that some of these text codes only work for the Message Window. Otherwise, they’ll work for help descriptions, actor biographies, and others.
Plugin Commands
The following are some plugin commands you can use through the Event Editor to change various aspects about the Message system.
Plugin Comand
MessageRows 6
Changes the Message Rows displayed to 6. If you are using continuous Show Text events, this will continue displaying the following lines’s texts until it hits the row limit. Anything after that is cut off until the next message starts to avoid accidental overlap.
MessageWidth 400
Changes the Message Window Width to 400 pixels. This will cut off any words that are shown too far to the right so adjust accordingly!
