Counters Settings

Settings > General > Counters What every Counters widget shares: the character limit of spoken text, and the colors of the numbers. The widget itself is described in Counters.

Limit

Setting	Default	Description
Spoken text limit	250	The number of characters a Spoken Line's text should stay under. The Limit counter displays how far the text is from it.
Limit margin	50	The number of characters before the limit at which the Limit counter changes color, to warn that the limit is near.

Set the limit to what fits in your game's dialogue box. The limit is a guide: a longer text is never prevented. Colors A table with a row for each state a number can be in, and two colors for each: Text, the color of the number, and Outline, the color of its outline. A fully transparent outline is no outline.

Row	Colors
Words	The number of words.
Chars.	The number of characters.
Under the limit	Limit, while the text is shorter than the limit minus the margin.
Within the margin	Limit, while the text is within the margin before the limit, or at it.
Over the limit	Limit, once the text is longer than the limit.
Reference 1 has more	C. Diff. and W. Diff., when the counted text is longer than the one it's compared with.
Reference 1 has less	The same, when it's shorter.
Both the same	The same, when both have the same length.

One Set of Colors per Theme These colors belong to the theme chosen on the Theme page: each theme has its own, and a color set under one theme is never displayed under another. A color left unset displays the theme's own. Right-click a color for its menu:

• Copy and Paste copy a color to another. Ctrl+click a color also pastes.
• Remove Override restores the theme's color.
