CT_EventTooltip – Lightweight Mouse Hover Tooltips (RPG Maker MZ)

[10] CT_EventTooltip adds clean, mouse hover tooltips to map events in RPG Maker MZ.

Unlike traditional tooltip systems that rely on RPG Maker’s window text rendering, this plugin uses sprite + bitmap rendering, giving you full control over layout, sizing, and appearance — without text cutoff issues or UI plugin conflicts.

Designed with the “simple as a hammer” philosophy:

• lightweight
• predictable
• isolated
• easy to batch setup

✨ Features

• Mouse hover tooltips for map events
• Persistent, state-driven binding (no runtime event execution)
• Bitmap-based rendering (no Window_Base dependency)
• Automatic background sizing (no text cutoff)
• Supports \v[n] for variable display
• Optional number formatting:

• Raw (9999999)
• Short (1K / 1M / 1B)
• Long (1 Million / 1 Billion)
• Safe to use alongside UI, text, and number-related plugins
• Designed for autorun batch setup (PEB-style workflow)

🧠 What This Plugin Does Not Do (By Design)

• No RPG Maker escape codes (\c, \i, \{, etc.)
• No Window_Base rendering
• No global UI overrides
• No forced formatting from other plugins

This keeps the system fast, conflict-free, and easy to reason about.

🔧 Included Tool

This package includes CT_ColorPicker.exe, a lightweight color picker utility that lets you visually pick HEX color codes for tooltip text and backgrounds — no need to open external image editors.
