Hello, I tried in the plugin call event "PlayerInput Actor1 0 19 Enter your message..." this does not open any dialog box, nothing happens. (For RPG MAKER MV version).

Can't wait for MV compatibility!

won’t have to wait for long friend. Working on it rn.

Here it is. You can download the plugin for MV :)

Thanks! I'm having trouble making it work though. If I follow the example exactly, the placeholder text is only "Enter", and the message closes before I can type anything. If I reduce the placeholder text, same thing happens. Also, why does the example have 5 parameters? (what is "John"?).
If I remove the first parameter I get a blank window in which I can type and it doesn't close, but eventually I get the missing image error and I can't leave that window.

Waiting for fixes :)

Thanks for the feedback.

Working on fixing it right now.
It seems that manual configs are leading to that behavior in some cases.

However if you use the plugin command with no config it should work fine with the party leader image.

The "John " in the example is misleading and i forgot to remove it. It  was ported from the origin plugin cause MZ has a speakerName displaying on top of the Text Window.

Will let you know once i upload the update

Hey Calunio.  I just uploaded a new file with the plugin that should be working as expected now. Let me know if that's not the case.

Sadly, it still doesn't work. The text box appears and closes itself immediately. I noticed I still get the "Enter your message..." place holder if I use the plugin command with no parameters, which means there are specified parameters in the plugin's own code, which shouldn't happen.

Regarding the params - yes, there are default params: Party Leader image and placeholder text.

It might make sense to remove them to create a default empty window as it seems to be the most prevalent use case of the community.

Regarding the issue you described with the window opening. I can't replicate it in my environment so i might need a little help to debug it. Are you on a Windows or Mac? Which version of MZ are you using and what is the version of your core script?

Thank you so much for supporting the project with your feedback
