Customizable Text Above Events Plugin for RPG Maker MZ: Customizable Text Above Events Plugin for RPG Maker MZ-1.jpg

Loading Fonts:
To use custom fonts in the text, follow these steps:
1. Copy the font file into the 'fonts/' folder of your RPG Maker project.
2. Open the plugin settings in the RPG Maker MZ editor.
3. Find the parameter responsible for font settings, 'Fonts'.
4. Enter the font file name (e.g., 'myfont.ttf') in the 'Filename' field.
5. Enter the name that will be used to refer to the font in the game (e.g., 'CustomFont') in the 'Family' field.
6. Use the assigned font name (e.g., 'CustomFont') in the 'fontName' parameter of the text comments to apply this font to the text.

Example usage in a text comment:
<Text - Hello, world!; fontName=CustomFont>

This will apply the loaded 'CustomFont' to the text 'Hello, world!'.

Comment Parameters:
- fontName: the name of the font for the text, should match the name loaded through FontManager.
- fontSize: the font size of the text.
- bold: the boldness of the text (true for bold).
- color: the color of the text in RGBA format.
- bitmapWidth: the width of the text window in pixels.
- bitmapHeight: the height of the text window in pixels.
- offsetY: the vertical offset of the text above the event in pixels.
- visibilityRange: the distance at which the text starts to appear (0 for constant visibility).
- animationType: the type of animation (e.g., fadeIn).
- animationDuration: the duration of the animation in frames.

Usage Examples:
1. Basic text without additional parameters:
    <Text - Hello, world!>

2. Text with boldness and changed font size:
    <Text - Attention!; fontSize=20; bold=true; fontName=CustomFont>

3. Text with changed color and text window sizes:
    <Text - 50% Discount!; color=rgba(255,0,0,1); bitmapWidth=180; bitmapHeight=40>

4. Text with vertical offset and appearance distance:
    <Text - Danger Ahead!; offsetY=-20; visibilityRange=5>
    (Animation is not applicable in this case with visibilityRange)

5. Text with a smooth fade-in animation:
    <Text - Last Warning!; animationType=fadeIn; animationDuration=60>
    (Visibility range is not applicable in this case with animation)

6. Complex example using all parameters:
    <Text - Whatever the text\I[2]; fontName=CustomFont; fontSize=30; color=rgba(249,0,249,1); bitmapWidth=260; bitmapHeight=50; offsetY=48>
    - "Whatever the text" is the text that will be displayed.
    - \I[2] inserts the icon with index 2 from the icon set.
    - fontName=CustomFont uses the pre-loaded CustomFont.
    - fontSize=30 sets the font size to 30 pixels.
    - color=rgba(249,0,249,1) sets the text color to a bright fuchsia.
    - bitmapWidth=260 and bitmapHeight=50 set the dimensions of the text display area.
    - offsetY=48 raises the text 48 pixels above the default position.
