GB Studio 3.0 - Plugin Pak

A set of experimental plugins for GB Studio 3.0. Use them at your own risk :)

Dialogue & Menus

Display Advanced Dialogue

Show a dialogue box at the bottom of the game screen.

The Text tab behaves exactly like the Display Dialogue event.

The Layout tab allows to configure multiple options for the dialogue box:

• Minimum and maximum height of the display box, and if the border should be rendered or not.
• The initial position of the text.
• The maxmimum number of lines before the text will start scrolling up.
• Configure when the dialogue will close:
  • When a button is pressed
  • When the text finishes rendering
  • Never (the dialogue box will remain on screen and allow other interactions. The dialogue can be hidden using the Hide Overlay or Overlay Move To events).
• If the previous content should be removed when displaying the dialogue. This is useful to avoid the text flickering when dialogue boxes are open with Instant speed.

Display Advanced Menu

Display a menu of multiple options and set the specified variable to the value of the chosen option.

Menu option position and navigation order can be set for each item in the Items tab. The dialogue box size and the opening and closing direction can be set in the Layout tab.

There's no maximum character length per item, but the total amount of displayed characters is limited to by the number of tiles reserved for UI text (52 for non-color mode).

Note: The event can get very long when there's a lot of items.

Display Background Text

Renders a line of text at a specified position in the scene background.

There's no maximum character length for the text, but the total amount of displayed characters in a scene is limited to by the number of tiles reserved for UI text (52 for non-color mode), this includes text displayed with this event but also any other dialogue or menu.

Real Time Clock

A set of events that give access to the Real Time Clock functionality present in some GB cartridges.

Note: Cartridge type needs to be set to MBC3 in the project Settings, for RTC to work.
