Parameters Explanation

Action Order

This parameter determines the formula used to calculate when a battler will act in a turn. 'this._subject' refers to the battler in the formula. Overrides the Action Order Parameter in the VCM_ActionPoints plugin.

Action Order Window Always Visible

This parameter determines whether the Action Order Window will be visible even when battle is in acting phase, or not.

Action Order Window Show Action Icon

This parameter determines whether the icon of chosen actions that weren't performed yet will be shown in Action Order Window or not. If set to Yes(true), the Action Order Window Text Width Adjust value must be 'Automatic Wordwrap' or 'No Adjust' to show icons.

Action Order Window Extra Text

This parameter specifies the text between battlers in Action Order Window. Whitespace is automatically added before and after the value.

Action Order Window Text Width Adjust

This parameter specifies how text width will be adjusted if it is larger than the Action Order Window width. 'No Adjust' will do nothing. 'Automatic Wordwrap' will break lines automatically. And 'Adjust Width' will squeeze the text to fit. 'Adjust Width' will prevent icons from being shown. 

Action Order Window Position

This parameter determines the Action Order Window x and y positions, as well as its width and height. The higher the x value, the farther it will be in the right. The higher the y value, the lower it will be. If x or y values are higher than the game screen's width and height, respectively, it will not be visible. If x + Width <= 0 or y + Height <= 0 or Width <= 0 or Height <= 0, it will not appear.

Action Order Window Windowskin

This parameter specifies which Windowskin you will use for the Action Order Window. The image should be a png file located in the img\system folder. If setting the value textually, don't use extension. For example, Window or "Window", works fine, while Window.png or "Window.png", don't. If the value is invalid, it may cause errors. Using unsuitable files may have unexpected results. For example, using "Shadow 1" as Windowskin will probably show no Window for being too small.

Action Order Window Font

This parameter determines the Font Settings for the Action Order Window. Font specifies the Font Name. Even if it works in your machine without, remember to add the Font to your game if you distribute it. Font Size is a number. If its value is 0 or lower it will not appear. Non-number values may cause errors. Italic determines whether the font will be in Italic or not. Text Color specifies color of the text. You may use several ways to show color, such as Hex(#ffffff) or RGBA(rgba(217, 136, 74, 1)). Invalid values will make the Text Color black. Text Outline Color determines color of the text contour. The same rules of Text Color apply here. Text Outline Width specifies width of text contour. It is a number, and if equal to 0, it will be invisible. If lower than 0, it may cause inconsistencies. If it is too big, it may block the actual text.

Action Order Window Opacity

This parameter specifies the opacity of the Action Order Window. Value should be a number between 0 and 255. Any value lower than 0 will be converted to 0, and any value higher than 255 will become 255. Higher values means more opaque. With an opacity of 0, the window will become transparent, but text and icons will still be visible. Non-number values may cause errors.
