- BattleLog
- Choice List

--------------------------------------------------------------
 How to use
--------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Settings
  By default, effects are controled by switches.
   Switches[1] => RTL, Show text from Right To Left.
   Switches[2] => RL, Reverse letters in line.
   Switches[3] => RS, Reverse the order of words in line.
 
  IDs of those switches are determined in CC::TEXT_RTL controls ON/OFF.
  See CC::TEXT_RTL if you want to change.
  
[2] Control Characters in RTL + Reverse-Letter mode
  Default Control Characters(\C{n], \I[n], \{, \}) will be reserved.
  But you need some attention since numbers also be reserved.
 
  ex. "\C[1]Lorem\C[0] Ipsum\n" => "muspi \eC[0]meroL\eC[2]\n" = white text.

[3] Examples
    (Mode)        : (Text)
    Default                : "Lorem Ipsum" (Left To Right, LTR)
    RTL           : "muspi meroL" (RTL)
    RTL + RL      : "Lorem ipsum" (RTL)
    RTL + RS      : "muspi meroL" (RTL)
    RTL + RL + RS : "ipsum Lorem" (RTL)
    RL            : "muspi meroL" (LTR)
    RS            : "ipsum Lorem" (LTR)
    RL + RS       : "meroL muspi" (LTR)
  
    trial and error.

[4] In-Battle Text
    if CC::TEXT_RTL.enable_in_battle? is true, effects on battle-log will be shown.

[5] Conflict Warning
  This script rely on overwriting methods heavily.
  It may cause conflict against other message scripts.

--------------------------------------------------------------
 Order of Control Characters
--------------------------------------------------------------
 In RL mode, every control characters will be reversed before processed backward.
 And it may cause error.
 ( Ex. "\C[1]Colored Text\C[0]." => reversed as "\e.C[0]txeT deroloC\eC[1]\n" => appear as "Colored Text]0[C" )
// Please try changing order of Control Characters if it happen.

--------------------------------------------------------------
 Q&A
--------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How to make effects auto enabled?

A. Find "return $game_switches[ * ]" and change them to "return true". It's around line 120.
   By default, $game_switches[ 1 ] controls RTL, $game_switches[ 2 ] => RL, $game_switches[ 3 ] => RS.
   They are written in "module TEXT_RTL".

personal note 8 - Debug

(1) What happened:
I wanted to see callstack.

(2) Solution
 module DebugView
    def parse_caller(at)
      if /^(.+?):(\d+)(?::in `(.*)')?/ =~ at
        return [$2, $3] #file = $1; line = $2.to_i; method = $3
      end
    end
  
    def track
    return if !$TEST
        stack = []
      caller.each { |arr| stack.push( parse_caller(arr) ) }
      stack.pop; stack.pop
      self.trace(stack)
    end
end

call DebugView.track

(3) Remained Problems
caller returns [filename, line, method].
but in rgss3, filename has no meaning since all scripts are loaded in single file.

Q. why DebugView?
A. ('w') < because it was there.

personal note 7

(1) What happened:
Bias in the random movement.
If you use "Options: Direction Fix" and "Movement Type: Random" simultaneously,
The event biased to move to the fixed direction.

(2) Cause
In the line 114 of Game_Event,

  def move_type_random
    case rand(6)
    when 0..1;  move_random
    when 2..4;  move_forward
    when 5;     @stop_count = 0
    end
  end

Since direction is fixed, that "move_forward" goes to always same direction.



If I remember correctly,

in RPG Maker 2000, inner direction values can be changed even if direction if fixed.
And some crazy people used the direction of events as a substitute of variables.
VX Ace not allow it.


(3) Solution
when 2..4;  @direction_fix ? move_random : move_forward



('w') < ...harmless.
