Change file menu character graphics.

Hello Gods and Goddesses of script!

I know this question has been asked multiple times (trust me, I looked), but It does not appear that it has ever seen real resolution.

I am using Mogmenus, which works great for adding face graphics to everything EXCEPT the file menu. It still draws the character sprites as usual.

I have looked all over the board, but I cannot find a script that replaces the character sprites on the file menu with a series of picture files. It seems that people are only worried about the main menu screen (which Mogmenu already takes care of).

Can anyone point me to, or show how to alter the file menu scripts in order to show custom character graphics?



Thank you in advance!

Ok, I must be doing something horribly wrong in my help requests... I've got a terrible track record of replies (not including help from Unka-Josh).

Am I not giving enough information? Am I breaking some cardinal rule of the forum? Is it really an unheard-of, extremely off the wall request?

At least let me know what I need to add to the post, folks :) I do my share of trying to answer others questions when I am able :P

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

@Legacy: Lines 51-59 in Window_SaveFile

There is an inherent problem in that the window is only 104 pixels tall, leaving only 72 pixels for the bitmap. The standard faceset is 96x96, so it won't quite fit in those windows. Your options are:

1) let the .blt chop off the top & bottom of the face image
2) resize the facesets
3) create another window or sprite over the top of the file windows to draw the faces in
4) eliminate the help window or one of the savefile windows to acquire more space

Thank you both so much for taking interest!

Allow me to clarify a few things by posting screenshots as well as my Mog Menu script just in case it wants to throw out any curve-balls.

Screenshots:

Screenshot_02.png


As you can see the problem is that I have separate dungeon and worldmap sprites. It would be great to have a face sprite show up instead regardless of where I save.

The menu itself is animated, and the different save files swap out in the exact same spot.

Custom face sprites (of any size) are not a problem, if need be.


Here is the MogMenu code I am using:

EDIT to say: The window size should not be a factor now that I think about it, as the files aren't competing for space.
