RPG MAKER MZ Plugin: OnlineTextMZ
OnlineTextMZ
Hello! Thank you very much for your interest in our plugin:
OnlineTextMZ.
Before we continue, we would like to remind you that all of our plugins work within the environment:
RPG Maker MZ ↔ PC Windows ↔ NWJS
If you use other platforms or devices, we cannot guarantee correct operation because unfortunately we have no way to test them. Please keep this in mind before proceeding.
Below you’ll find more details about what this plugin offers.
Plugin Overview
| Name of the plugin | OnlineTextMZ |
| Platform: | RPG Maker MZ |
| Available versions | Demo: Yes | Full: Yes |
| Sample project included? | No |
FULL-EXPERIENCE MODE
Plugin Details: OnlineTextMZ
With this plugin, you can bridge the gap between your game and the web by retrieving LIVE text data from a simple URL.
Instead of hard-coding every announcement or update log into your project, you can host a text file online and have your game display that information automatically.
Features
- Dynamic Information Retrieval: Instantly display live announcements, news, or update logs by pulling content from any text URL. Any change you make to the online file reflects inside your game immediately.
- Variable Integration & Storage: You can capture the retrieved online text and store it directly into a game variable. This feature lets you use live data to trigger specific in-game events or change dialogue branches.
- Rich Visual Formatting: The plugin supports various formatting commands to ensure your online content matches your game's aesthetic. You can change text colors, insert icons, center your messages, and even embed images.
Use Examples
- The Daily Bulletin Board: Imagine placing a "Message Board" in your game's starting town. Instead of editing the game every time you want to change the daily quest or community message, you simply update a html file on your website. When a player checks the board, they see the most current information you’ve posted.
- Live Changelogs and Patch Notes: You can implement a section on your title screen that displays the most recent bug fixes or balance changes. This keeps your players informed about the improvements you are making, even if they are playing a build from several days ago.
- Seasonal Event Announcements: Use the plugin to announce limited-time events, such as a "Summer Festival" or a "Holiday Sale". By updating your online text, you can change the rewards and event descriptions on the fly, making your game world feel active and responsive to the real world.

Differences between the Versions
Demo versions are early builds of the plugin. They have fewer features and differ significantly from the full releases. However, they serve as examples: they allow you to quickly grasp what the plugin can do and often provide enough functionality for smaller projects.
Demo versions do not receive direct updates. As they are early editions, their contents have been improved and updated in the full versions. The demos are free to download on itch.io using the “Download Demo” button.
Full versions are the complete releases of the plugin. They include all features and receive ongoing feature updates and constant support. (Remember that support is always provided for the most recent version of the plugin.)

What is a FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugin?
At Undermax we always want you to have the best experience, and we know that DEMO versions don't always showcase all the plugin's capabilities. Maybe you're unsure whether to buy the FULL version of the plugin. That's why, in some of our plugins, you can download and run a demonstration example of that plugin in its FULL version so you can try it in a closed and safe environment.
This lets you explore in greater detail those features and improvements that the DEMO version doesn't offer.
Keep in mind that the FULL EXPERIENCE MODE only lets you run the plugin in this project and it will not be compatible with other personal projects. This means you wouldn't have access to the original plugin file, which you would receive if you purchased the FULL version.
FULL EXPERIENCE MODE plugins are only compatible with PC devices running Windows, which is the environment we work with.

Hello! I just wanted to say that I bought your bundle because your plugins are so awesome! :D
I was also wondering if you could make a plugin that allows the player to download a file from a given URL in a given directory of the game via plugin command or script call. There's a plugin that does that (Rpg Maker MV Plugin - Remote File\Asset\Fix Downloader by The Circle - Games Assets and Tools (itch.io)), but that is for MV unfortunately.
I need something similar to that for MZ. Is that possible for you to make? I would buy it immediately! <3
Hello! Thank you very much for your support! I don't know how that plugin you attached works, but I can try to do it. Due to the file system used in NW.js and the browser's security restrictions, there are some impediments, which can complicate development (This already happened to me with the Itchio plugin) I can only guarantee that if I can get it to work, the system would work on Windows systems. Is that okay for you? I would need more information on how you want the plugin to work.If you want, you can contact me via email and give me a more detailed explanation there:
https://itch.io/blog/694860/undermax-support-page
I send you greetings!
Thanks for your reply! I would use the plugin on Windows, yes! I'll try to contact you via email. :D
I contacted you! Let me know if you received the email. Thanks in advance! :D
Hello! Received perfectly! I will give you an answer soon! All the best !
Undermax Games, you did fantastic job! I'm very happy that you entered the RM scene, you are another diamond in the plugins field. Thank you for your work. Btw, I wanted to ask...
Referring to this plugin, would it be possible to "storage texts" that the player enters in the game? What I mean is something like a notebook in which the player can make notes during the game and they are remembered / can be recalled.
Hello, thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad to hear that you like the plugins. I put a lot of effort into creating things that don't currently exist, haven't been ported, or are interesting to work on.
I'm not entirely sure I understood your question, but what this plugin does is fetch text from a URL (RAW) and allows you to display it in a game window or store that information in a variable for you to use as needed.
You can achieve this by using the plugin's included commands:
Greetings, and I hope I have answered your question!
I just came across your plugins, not gonna lie they all look so good I want to buy everything!
I have a question first:
Let's say I connected a url to the plugin,
-If I change the text in the url, will it dynamically change in-game as I'm playing?
-What would happen if the player loses their internet at the moment of playing?
Thank you!
Indeed, the plugin loads remotely every time you use the plugin command. If you make changes, you should be able to see those changes in real-time.
Keep in mind that due to the intricacies of how the internet works, including DNS, caching, and update times, the changes may not be 100% instantaneous. However, I can assure you that the plugin dynamically retrieves information.
The plugin also has support for scenarios where the user doesn't have internet access or there's a connection error. In such cases, it prevents the connection and returns an error message like "connection error" for the Open Online Text Window, or you can activate a switch when making a fetch (a request). If there's no connection for any reason, this switch is triggered, and you can then handle conditions as usual in your events. You can find more information about this in the plugin's help section.
Best regards!
Sounds fantastic! I wanted to ask, is there an option to edit the path(url) ingame? I mean, the player can enter url to display your own text, for example?
Hello! I'm glad you like the plugin. You define a Base URL, within there, all content is configured inside the URL. In the full version you can use online text command to use a text inside another url. It is difficult to explain but easy to understand. Everything is used from plugin commands, so you can change the Base URL as many times as necessary. I sincerely recommend that you try it because it is very complex to explain in text.
Thank you, I think I uderstood. Gonna buy it and check it out!
If you have any doubts I'm at your order!
Thank you so much for being so kind.
Nice plugin! I bought it :D
It's not necessary for the project I'm developing now, but it'll come in handy when I make a bigger project later!
Thank you for making a great plugin.
Thanks for the support! If you need any information about how it is used, or find any need to be able to add it to the system, tell me and I will try to solve them. I send you a greeting!
