Question about facesets

[starseed28]

Ok I have seen this on here before so I know it exists but I cannot pull up anything when I do searches.

In the subscreen how do I make it so a picture of that character is shown instead of the sprite? I have seen it with the battler being shown but Id rather use a face pic. Using RMXP. Thanks!

Do you mean in fights, or using a script?

If it's for the fights, it's easy-- just replace the battler graphic with a faceset graphic. No script needed.

No in the subscreen.

Right now I have it normal which shows the character's sprite. What I want is to use the face set of my characters in the subscreen. Like you would see in the subscreen of final fantasy or most other rpg games.

I used to have a script that made it so the battler was shown in the subscreen instead of the sprite but Id rather not use the battler. I don't care for the way it looks. I'd like to use the face set. Ive seen something about it here before but didn't grab it and can't find it again.

By "Subscreen" I assume you mean "Menu"

Try this out. If you get a "Unable to find File" error, make sure you put that file in the Pictures folder

Spoiler: Facesets in Menu
