Menu question

[powersurge00]

i was wondering if there was a script that allowed me to have my own pictures in the menu for representing characters. Like instead of where you would see the charac-set you would see a diffrent graphic, im trying to explain as best as i can, im using RPG maker XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Woops im sorry i just noticed that i put this in the wrong sectipn, i am very sorry!!

At least you noticed   It happens.

To answer your question, though, it's only a simple edit... so let's try to do it yourself:

Go into RMXP- open the script editor.

Go to Menu_Status
Look at this line:

draw_actor_graphic(@actor, 40, 112)

Change it to:

draw_actor_picture(@actor, 40, 112)

Okay, okay good job.  Moving forward:

Go to Window_Base

find this function (around line 108)

Spoiler

  def draw_actor_graphic(actor, x, y)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.character(actor.character_name, actor.character_hue)
    cw = bitmap.width / 4
    ch = bitmap.height / 4
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
    self.contents.blt(x - cw / 2, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
  end

Good.  Now copy that.  Insert a new script (right click, insert...)
Name it "Powersurge00 Menu Edit Kungfu X" or something like that...

Now paste the function into your new script.

Change it as follows:

Spoiler

class Window_Base
def draw_actor_picture(actor, x, y)
    bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture(actor.character_name, 0)
    cw = bitmap.width / 4
    ch = bitmap.height / 4
    src_rect = Rect.new(0, 0, cw, ch)
    self.contents.blt(x - cw / 2, y - ch, bitmap, src_rect)
  end
end

Congratulations.  Put a picture in your pictures folder with the character's name, and you've got yourself the script you just requested.

No prob  :lol: anytime.  The only thing I ask in return is that form now on, before you post a request, scan through the existing scripts- 9/10 times it's something this simple.
