facesets in load/save screen?

[ImmuneEntity]

I'm surprised I can't find this. Could someone find/make me a script that simply allows me to use pictures(facesets) for the characters in the save/load screen instead of the character's charset?

First, add this above Game_Temp:

module RPG
  module Cache    
    def self.face(filename)
      self.load_bitmap("Graphics/Faces/", filename)
    end
  end
end

In Scene_Save, replace these lines:

    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      characters.push([actor.character_name, actor.character_hue])
    end

With:

    for i in 0...$game_party.actors.size
      actor = $game_party.actors[i]
      characters.push(actor.name.downcase)
    end

Then, in Window_SaveFile, replace this:

      for i in 0...@characters.size
        bitmap = RPG::Cache.character(@characters[i][0], @characters[i][1])
        cw = bitmap.rect.width / 4
        ch = bitmap.rect.height / 4
        src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
        x = 300 - @characters.size * 32 + i * 64 - cw / 2
        self.contents.blt(x, 68 - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
      end

With this:

      for i in 0...@characters.size
        bitmap = RPG::Cache.face(@characters[i])
        x = 400 - @characters.size * bitmap.width + i * bitmap.width
        self.contents.blt(x, 4, bitmap, Rect.new(0, 0, bitmap.width, bitmap.height))
      end

This is assuming that the filename of the face graphic is the same as the character name and is located in the folder Graphics/Faces. If not, be more specific about your request.

I keep getting a "cannot convert Array into string" error.

This occurs on:

self.load_bitmap("Graphics/Faces/", filename)

I have made a "Faces" folder in the "Graphics" folder of my project. I saved the picture as (character name).png inside that folder. I also tried it with the ID name instead, 001.png. Neither of these worked.

I wasnt sure if:

module RPG
  module Cache    
    def self.face(filename)
      self.load_bitmap("Graphics/Faces/", filename)
    end
  end
end

...should be placed at the TOP of the Game_Temp, or in a new "script" above it. I tried both of these, and I get the same error in both cases.

Show me your Window_SaveFile.

And either should work, but I meant in a new file above Game_Temp.

Works just fine for me.

You do know that you'll have to delete your old savefiles, right? Just like any script that effects what you save and load, old savefiles won't work with it.

 

[ImmuneEntity]

No, I didn't know that. I guess I didn't even think of that because I just figured this script would simply modify the way it is displayed.

It doesn't crash anymore, but now my problem is the face simply doesn't display. Do I have to name it the character's name, or the character's ID? (I've tried both.)

Is there a specific size it needs to be? I was using 98x98 first and then i went down to 40x40 and it still doesn't work.

Any suggestions? Sorry for having so much difficulty with this.

 

[ccoa]

Character's name, all lowercase.

The size will depend on how big your save windows are. If they're the standard size, you will have to use smaller images. How small, I don't know, sorry. This is just a direct excerpt from my own game's scripts, and I'm using large sized save windows and only displaying 3.

 

[ImmuneEntity]

I got it working. Solved. Thank you VERY much.

 

[ccoa]

No problem at all.
