RPG Maker MZ - Flexible Message SE

Bring your dialogue to life with dynamic sound effects that react to who is speaking and how text is displayed.

• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Assign unique voice sounds to different NPCs
• 🎛️ Fully configurable sound settings
  • Volume, pitch, pan
  • Interval between sounds
• 🎲 Optional pitch randomization (great for “talking” effects)
• ⏩ Auto stop SE when skipping text

🎮 Perfect For

• Cozy RPGs with lots of dialogue

• Games inspired by Animal Crossing / Undertale-style text sounds

📦 Requirements

• DSI-CoreMZ (Required base plugin)

⚙️ How to Use

1. Install DSI-CoreMZ above this plugin
2. Add DSI-FlexibleMessageSE.js to your project
3. Configure plugin parameters:
   • Set a default SE
   • Add NPC-specific configs
4. Use the "Show Text" → Speaker Name field to match NPC configs

👉 The plugin will automatically play sound effects as text appears.

🧠 How It Works

• The plugin detects the speaker name from the message window
