Custom image in the status screen.

[Emerald Lance]

My question is more than likely an easy one that has already been answered in another thread, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it anywhere so I'm asking here.

I'm using the default menu style (with just a few very minor changes). What I'd like is a way to change the sprite image to an image in the Graphics/Pictures directory. I'm using Minkoff's Animated Battlers script, so I don't want an image of the battlers.

I'm kinda ok with modifying scripts as necessary, given that I'm told what to modify and where. I think the solution is somewhere in Window_Status, but I just don't know the command to stick in there to call what I need. If anybody can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.

Use something like this:
[ruby]class Window_Base
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Draw Graphic
  #     actor : actor
  #     x     : draw spot x-coordinate
  #     y     : draw spot y-coordinate
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def draw_actor_graphic(actor, x, y)
    # Array, stores menu picture for each actor
    actor_pic = [nil, "actor1.png", "actor2.png", "ac3.png", "ac4.png"]
    pic_name = actor_pic[actor.id]
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(pic_name)
    w = bitmap.width
    h = bitmap.height
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, w, h)
    self.contents.blt(x - 24 / 2, y - 76, bitmap, src_rect)
  end
end

You have to tell the game which picture to use for each actor. You can use the code as it is, just edit the array actor_pic with the correct names. The game will search the pctures in Graphics/pictures.
