Resource Gen 8-Style Item Find Description 2.1

[hostman]

I copy and paste into plugins, but it doesn't work, I keep collecting the objects the same, do you know why?

Working in v20.1 after changing
@sprites["itemicon"] = ItemIconSprite.new(42, Graphics.height - 48, -1, @viewport)
to
@sprites["itemicon"] = ItemIconSprite.new(42, Graphics.height - 48, nil, @viewport)

Thank you TechSkylander1518 for this solution!

It's also compatible with v21.1 as far as I have tested.

In my game in version 21.1 the plugin didn't work, so I tweaked what I could and managed to make it work correctly for items and berries.

def pbPickBerry(berry, qty = 1)
  result = pbPickBerry_itemfind(berry, qty)
  $item_log.register(berry) if $bag && $bag.has?(berry)
  return result
end

Even though this plugin seems simple, it helps you know what the item does whenever you receive it and without having to look for a bag, so I think it's very good

Does anyone know how to format the text? I specifically am trying to make the item name centered, and possible bold for the player.

I think I tested this but the berries didn't work! Just a share - thank you for your hardwork!
