When I check the event code, the text doesn't have anything connect with actor name, even if I tried to add new text or copy/paste the old message line, the new message box doesn't display actor name at all.
The engine is RMG Maker MV.
They could be using , or a similar plugin.

Maybe they have something relate to face icon selection but somehow they're able to select an image from a different folder, not "face" folder. Since if click in the Face box it just show (none).
They also use some plugin to select image from inside another folder like this:
011.png
Another test, when look at the code, normally if a face is selected, it'll show file name, even if that file not exist. However you can see this one display as none, the name still appear above the text box.

However when I fix the face selection, the name gone.

do you guys think it would be possible to copy the code from an mz game to an mv game that adds a timer limit to quick time events during battles?
in one game there's a timer, in the other there isn't so it's too easy

There are plugins that can do this but please don't - it's super annoying.

I always prefer games to play windowed even if it's a maximized window.

no of course i was talking about games i'm playing i'm not a dev XD
and ye i found how
two ways
you edit package.json and add "fullscreen": true
or you can also add Graphics._requestFullScreen(); in any plugins.js file
or at least for mv games
i will check other engines

EDIT: and i assume in case a game has fullscreen enabled by default you could disable it by looking for said lines and deleting them so this could he helpful for you as well

Hi, I'm playing RPGMaker and one of my keys is broken. Is there any way to change the controls? If I press F1, it doesn't work and the settings don't appear.

That depends on what RPG Maker and what game.
The RPG Maker usually has a hardcoded map of virtual keys to actions, which can be rewritten externally. But if the key is instead based on a plugin, the plugin needs to have their seperate input system adjusted. And if the key is handled via a event key press, than those event instances need be changed. Few RPG Maker games have a rebindable keymap as you usually see in modern games (Unreal/Unity).

It may be more useful to get some virtual key mapper that allows you to rebind one key to another, and use that while you play the game. Some keyboards (e.g. razer) come with custom software that allows macros & key rebinding. Otherwise look for a virtual key mapper that allows you to use a different button to press the one that's broken.
