RMVX: Show text

[Kiriashi]

RPG Maker: VX
Problem: Text gets erased
I want: to be able to write in the entire text box and have all the text show up

Here is what happens:

When I make some text in a show text event command, I will write something in like:
\C[6]Warrior\C[0]:"There is a locked chest to the North of Cambrodia River,
do you dare enter the cave to get to the other side and retrieve the key
so that you may open it? No man has ever completed this quest."

Here is what shows up in game:
Warriorin red or whatever 6 is, lol)" There is a locked chest to the North of Cam
do you dare enter the cave to get to the other side and retrieve th
so that you may open it? No man has completed this ques

It's like RPG Maker VX is lying to me about how much space I have to write. Yeah sure I can press return to end the line where it cuts off and make more text boxes, but that's really tedious and annoying.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Your main problem is that the space that RMVX shows is a guidline only. VX display fonts as proportional, which means that letters like w take up more space than letters like i. On the other hand, their guidline appears to be based on a monospaced font, where every letter takes up the same amount of space. In other words, their guidline is pretty much always going to be a little less or a little more than what will actually be displayed.

It's part of the editor itself, so yeah, you're basically stuck with it.
