Zalgo-Inspired Text Version 2.0 (2.1 ish)
SGD​

Note before we start: Below this post is a reply with a fix for choices. Choices did not display correctly and lost their functionality. You can simply replace the part of the code. The Demos (V1 and V2) have not been updated. The original codes in here have. So if you are using the Demo as refference you have to manually tweak it. Please use the Fix for Version 2.0 of the Script down below.

I just finished a new script that lets you create Zalgo-inspired stacked text in RPG Maker XP. It’s designed to work per-line and integrates seamlessly with RMXP’s message system





Features:​

• UP, MID, and DOWN diacritics applied to every character.
  
• Per-line control via \z[n] (intensity n ranges 0–15). (Recommended not to go higher than 6 on a lot of text.)
  
• Fully compatible with RMXP’s message system—normal messages, choices, and pauses all work.
  
• No global toggling required; just use \z[n] wherever you want Zalgo text.
  

Usage:​

Insert \z[n] at the start of any line in your message to activate Zalgo text for that line:
                Ruby:       

1. \z[6]This line will appear in Zalgo style at intensity 6
2. Normal lines remain unaffected

复制代码

You can mix normal and Zalgo lines in the same message:
                Ruby:       

1. Normal line
2. \z[4]Zalgo line
3. Back to normal

New Features for Version 2.0:

• Independent mark offsets: Vertical adjustments for UP, MID, and DOWN marks (OFFSET_UP_Y, etc.).
  
• Independent colors for marks: COLOR_UP, COLOR_MID, COLOR_DOWN.
  
• Optional random color variation: Slight per-symbol color changes for marks.
  
• Main Zalgo text color: COLOR_MAIN, with optional random variation (RANDOM_COLOR_MAIN).
  
• Marks and main text fully separated: Randomization for marks does not affect normal or main text.
  
• Expanded mark sets: More symbols for UP, MID, and DOWN marks for a richer effect.
