Character Face in Text Window

[AlexanderBlade]

I'm using RPG Maker XP;

Just wondering if it's possible to use a face graphic bigger then 96x96???
I saw a YouTube video; someone made the face graphic larger, but it was also behind the text window.

I know that if you upload a face graphic bigger then this and try using it, it'll just show a portion of the graphic. (I tried. -_-')

Any help I can get with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I assume you mean RPG Maker VX.

You would edit the draw_face method of Window_Base.  Put the following code before the last one in the script editor.

class Window_Base
  def draw_face(face_name, face_index, x, y, size = 96)
    bitmap = Cache.face(face_name)
    rect = Rect.new(0, 0, 0, 0)
    rect.x = face_index % 4 * (bitmap.width / 4)
    rect.y = face_index / 4 * (bitmap.height / 2)
    rect.width = size
    rect.height = size
    self.contents.blt(x, y, bitmap, rect)
    bitmap.dispose
  end
end

I hope this helps.

I'm using XP. Will this still work??

well I dunno, right at the beginning he says he's using XP.
So probably VX, yes.

well, Alex, you'll need to find a UMS
If you can, try to find the Neo UMS, it's a good one.

AlexanderBlade, it sounds like you're already using a custom menu script since XP doesn't have the feature. Could you say which one?

Will do. I'll let you guys know how it works.

Yeah bro, I'm using Dubealex's AMS.

Like I said earlier in the other thread, I have no idea what all to do to this script and the only thing I've been able to do is change font size and window skin.

The thing that confuses me about scripts is I'm not sure if I'm supposed to modify the actual script from the script page (where scripts are inserted) if I want something to happen, or if scripts just automatically activate.

But yeah, sorry, went on a tangent. xD

Dubealex's AMS is what I'm using.

Apparently the script does assume a size of 96x96, instead of an arbitrary size.  See lines 158-160 of the AMS:

    if FileTest.exist?("Graphics/Pictures/" + $1 + ".png")
      self.contents.blt(16, 16, RPG::Cache.picture(@face_file), Rect.new(0, 0, 96, 96))
    end

Change it to the following:

    if FileTest.exist?("Graphics/Pictures/" + $1 + ".png")
      faceBitmap=RPG::Cache.picture(@face_file)
      self.contents.blt(16, 16, faceBitmap, faceBitmap.rect)
    end

Also change lines 689-691:

    if @face_file != nil
      self.contents.blt(16, 16, RPG::Cache.picture(@face_file), Rect.new(0, 0, 96, 96))
    end

to the following:

    if @face_file != nil
      faceBitmap=RPG::Cache.picture(@face_file)
      self.contents.blt(16, 16, faceBitmap, faceBitmap.rect)
    end

Poccil, what does this do??

I replaced what you told me to replace, but I'm not quite sure what the code is supposed to do. Can you please give me a brief overview of what up??
