\N[x] for actor names.

Replace x with the actor ID.

\C[x] for colored text.

0 for default color (white)
I think there are up to 31.

For bold, italic and underlined text, you'd need a script.

colored text: \c[#]
# can be any number between 0 to 31. If you ever looked at the Windowskin and wondered what all those little color square were in the bottom right corner, those are the colors you can change your text to. 0 is the default color (the first white square), 1 is blue, 2 is orange etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by your second question. but I'm guessing what you're looking for is \n[#] where the # represents the actor's ID number. This will automatically put down the Actor's name down, whatever it may be.

All these questions and more are all answered in the help file [F1] You can also right click on the "text:" in the message display and click on "What's this?" and it will give you a run down of all the text codes. :)

As for the last question, you will need a script for that. Woratana's NMS does exactly that. :3
