Summary

Hello. I have a compatibility problem with some plugins, so I will explain the setup and include a demo folder. I think there are two solutions here... one would be to use a different plugin for one of the features (that's the easy one, if anyone knows such a plugin x'D) and the other would be to make an addon plugin that fixes this (that's the hard one). I am currently translating my game to Japanese. For that, I'm using Torigoya_TextRuby, a plugin that lets me add furigana. Furigana is...

Hello. I have a compatibility problem with some plugins, so I will explain the setup and include a demo folder. I think there are two solutions here... one would be to use a different plugin for one of the features (that's the easy one, if anyone knows such a plugin x'D) and the other would be to make an addon plugin that fixes this (that's the hard one).



I am currently translating my game to Japanese. For that, I'm using Torigoya_TextRuby, a plugin that lets me add furigana. Furigana is small text that is displayed on top of some kanji (Japanese characters), so that the player is able to phonetically read the character. This is helpful for difficult words, or for any word if the player is young (or a Japanese learner, like me). This plugin is non-negotiable, as I've tried looking for alternatives and none work for me (they all have other, different problems).

Since the instructions are in Japanese, I will summarize them here:
Code:
\ruby[kanji](furigana)
This will work in any game message. The example in the demo is this:
Code:
\ruby[猫](ねこ)

Then, I am also using a plugin for changing the alignment of text in choice lists. It is MPP_ChoiceAlign. It's a simple plugin that works with plugin commands: by writing SetChoiceAlign 2 in a command, I can align text to the right. (1 is center, 0 is left). I will note that this problem I'm having happens whether I use the command or not, just by having the plugin ON.

The problem is this: whenever furigana is added to any choice, this little text will appear on the bottom corner of the choice window, as you can see in the image.

Additionally, I am using a plugin I made called BF_Choicelist (included in the demo) that makes each choice's height taller (to account for p, q... in the font and size I'm using in my main project). However, if I turn this plugin off, the problem doesn't go away, so I don't think this is the issue.

In a different project, turning off YEP_MessageCore did "solve" the issue, but that is one of my other essential plugins, and this problem also happened in a fresh project without MessageCore added, so I believe it's best to solve it from this side.


Anyway... as I said, I am open to suggestions to replace that plugin that changes choice text alignment, haha. Back when I found it, I remember searching quite a bit for plugins that had that feature and didn't add anything else. It's fine if they add more things, but only if I can turn them off, as this feature is the only one I need.

The other option is making some sort of addon that could fix this. I tried looking into the code, but I can't understand much of what is happening. Why is furigana appearing double? Also, if you make all options have furigana, they will all appear at the same time in the same place. It's truly a mess.

Here is the demo for whoever feels like looking into it x') (Is it okay to share it as a Google Drive link?)
