N_AutoTextReplace is a simple plugin. All it does is replace text from your "Show Text..." event command with whatever you want it replaced with.

For example:

Will become:

In the above example, my replacement patterns were:

• ( -> \c[1](
  Changes text color to color 1 before opening bracket.
• ) -> )\c[0]
  Resets text color after closing bracket.
• [ -> \c[2][
  Changes text color to color 2 before opening bracket.
• ] -> ]\c[0]
  Resets text color after closing bracket.
• { -> \c[3]
  Changes text color to color 3 (does not add the bracket back).
• } -> \c[0]
  Resets text color (does not add the bracket back).

By default, the replacement patterns are:

• , -> ,\.
  Adds a 1/4 second pause after commas.
• . -> .\|
  Adds a 1 second pause after dots.
• ! -> !\|
  Adds a 1 second pause after exclamation marks.
• ? -> ?\|
  Adds a 1 second pause after question marks.

If you wanted to, you could even have a pattern like this:

• Master Sword -> \c[4]Master Sword\c[0]
  Automatically changes the color of "Master Sword" to color 4. Note that this plugin affects all text messages all the time, so don't add patterns like this if you only intend to color certain words once or twice during the entire game.

This allows for your text messages to appear much more dynamic, without needing to add escape characters everywhere.
