Control Characters Everywhere - Version: 1.0
By: Brewmeister
Introduction
Extends the use of Control Characters (\v[n], \N[n], \C[n]) to descriptions, names, pretty much anything in the database...
Developed for RMXP, but should work in RMVX as well.

FAQ
Can I add colors?
Sure, to add "Bright Red" for example... after line 70 insert:
Can I have more than one color in a name or description?
No. Not with this script. This script sets the color before drawing the string.
Unlike the message script, that draws the characters one at a time.
Compatibility
Incompatible with Ccoa's UMS. (\name[#] won't convert the control characters correctly.)
Extends the Bitmap.draw_text method & supports both draw_text(x, y, width, height, str[, align]) and draw_text(rect, str[, align]) formats
Author's Notes
In response to several requests to display item names in different colors.
Terms and Conditions
Please link to this thread instead of posting the script elsewhere. (even though I've posted it elsewhere) :scruff:
Feel free use for any legal purpose you can think of. Feel free to edit, modify, bend, spindle mutilate.
If you make edits or additions, please post them here so I can either include them, or link to them as enhancements.
