Extending Item Names in Battle
« on: October 29, 2010, 06:35:37 PM »
Hi Guys,

      I was experimenting with increasing item names in battle up to 16 characters. Everything works nice except for the following: When you try to equip a weapon or shield, The name of the weapon/item a character holds in the right hand is not properly displayed. The item on the left hand gets out of the border line as well (Here's a picture to show you):

The same happens to the name of Edgar's tools (picture above, to the right)
I've been thinking that perhaps the problem is that somewhere in the game's code I need to increase the number of letters displayed to 16?

Any ideas on how to work this out? I've had the idea to rearrange the equip submenu called in battle so that it goes like this:

R-Hand    Cursor  Name of Weapon
L-Hand    Cursor  Name of Shield

And though it may work at first, it still won't solve the problem of the first three hiding characters from the weapon and the tools?

There are a few routines that grab item names, and chances are you didn't change them all. As for the arranging of the window, go check out datacrystal for that info. It's bound to have it.
