Faces in Menu

[Stupid Penguin]

Hey there.

I was wondering if anybody had a script that replaces the character sprites in the DMS with character portraits.

I've looked around but haven't been able to locate one.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out.

Thanks

Put this code in Window_Base:

 def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y)
  bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("MenuFace/"+@actor.id.to_s)
   cw = bitmap.width 
   ch = bitmap.height 
   src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
   self.contents.blt(x - cw/5, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
 end

And now...Go to Window_MenuStatus, find draw_actor_name(actor, x, y) put on top/under it: draw_actor_face(actor, x ,y).

Faces you use must be in a folder name MenuFace in your Pictures folder, named by your character's ID.

that's all~
cya!

My character's ID?
Like his name or the actual character number?

Thanks

 

[Kaito]

ID number...Like Arshes' is 1, Dorothy is 4...etc. etc.^^

A small error in your code.

 def draw_actor_face(actor, x, y)
  bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture("MenuFace/#{actor.id}")
   cw = bitmap.width 
   ch = bitmap.height 
   src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
   self.contents.blt(x - cw/5, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
 end

Edit: Ok, I think I got it. I just need to play around with some values a bit.
Thanks you guys for the help :]

I made a menu system that encorporates RM2K styled facesets (kept in the Graphics\Pictures folder) so it won't interfere with the use of battlers. It also allows for faceset use in a messagesystem. Look in my sig (or in the Forum Script Listings). I made it some time ago.

Nevermind, I managed to get it operational.

The reason is most likely that the positioning codding is messed up.

So go into Window_Menustatus where the code should be placed.

draw_actor_face(actor, x ,y).

And you will need to fiddle around with the x and y co-ordinates.

When you have got the placements right. Go to lines 26 and 27 and there will be a code like this.

      x = 90
      y = i * 98

This is the way you sort out the spacing between each character, so you will need to change the numbers until you get that spacing you need.

If you can't suss it out send me your game and i will sort it for you.

Can someone send me a game with their menu of faces?

 

[Lexy]

i fixed the problem by erasing the draw actor code and moved the faces to x -40, y + 80 now the faces show where the sprites would normally

 

[angelicgemini]

Can someone send me their game, so I can copy the script, and see what to do? Please I would be grateful, thank you.

 

[Lexy]

Its really quite simple

Open up your game file and choose graphics then click pictures and make a new folder called MenuFace

now go into ms [aint or photoshop or whatever program you use make your faces and save them to your desktop as 1 2 3 4 ect. ect. depending on which actor they are in the list note i dont know why this is but you must have a 4 in the files or you will get a error when opening the menu now just copy the codes from the first post and paste them in the apropriate spots then goto Menu_Status and erase the Draw actor code and set the faces

x - 40, y +80


hope that helps i dont know how to upload my game yet never have

 

[angelicgemini]

It will be better though if someone can prepare for me a demo, where I can see it and how to use it also it won't be annoying and we can finish our talk about faces in the menu.

 

[angelicgemini]

*bump*, can someone please put up on the downloads so I can see it and try to figure out from there please, or give me the whole script then it would be better.

 

[ZericCallavis]

Would this apply to the command window in battle as well?

 

[AJSoad]
