Using faces with AcedentProne's FFVII Menu System? [RESOLVED]

[Aerif]

I'm having trouble displaying faces with the menu system, I think I'm placing the files in the correct folder (Graphics/Characters/Faces) but for some reason they don't show up despite me giving them the same names as the character folder. Can anyone help?

I don't think it's any other script's fault. The face wasn't displayed on a blank project with the script. In both cases a blank space is left in place of the face (only the window skin is seen)

khmp: Code in code tags, please.

 

[khmp]

I think maybe its this. Inside AcedentProne's script on line 95 change:

#draw_actor_face(actor, 12, y + 90)
draw_actor_graphic(actor, 48, y + 65)

To:

draw_actor_face(actor, 12, y + 90)
#draw_actor_graphic(actor, 48, y + 65)

 

[Aerif]

I already have that...

 

[Xemnas13]

Perhaps the format of the images you are using is not supported? 

 

[Aerif]

They're PNGs, I also tried BMPs but they didn't work either

 

[khmp]

Hmm are you using the actor's name or the character's name? The difference being that the actor name of the first actor in the database is "Aluxes" in a new project. But his character name is "001-Fighter01.png". For using face graphics in this CMS you have to name them the same as the character name in the Faces folder.

 

[Aerif]

I'm using the character name

 

[khmp]

Alright I personally tested it and got it to work. Would you be willing to create a demo? I ask for a demo and not a simply the scripts.rxdata file because there might be a problem with the file paths of the graphics even though you've assured me otherwise. If you are worried about privacy feel free to PM me, I don't mind. I just can't guess anymore what could be wrong so I'm sorry for that on my part.

 

[Aerif]

If you don't mind I'd like to only give out a demo as a last resort.

I've got a new development in the program and I think it may have something to do with the coding. That being the last actor's face is not displayed at all e.g. with a four person party, faces 1, 2 and 3 are displayed, but no. 4 is not. That's why I didn't think it worked as I had a one person party.

So could you possibly look at the code to see what the problem is?

 

[Aerif]

BUMP

 

[khmp]

He's got some odd math for drawing faces and I assume a typo on his part. In any case I'm changing the way it's set up. Alright go to top of AcedentProne's script line 28, change it to this:

self.contents.blt(x, y, face, src_rect)

Originally he was dividing by 23 and subtracting the bitmap height from y which was pushing the first face off the window. This is completely unintuitive to drawing code when everything else draws from its upper left point by default. Anyway if you had two party members and went into menu the first party member has the face of the second party member in the place of where the first one should be.

Good luck with it Aerif! :thumb:

 

[Aerif]

Hurray! Thank you so much for that khmp!

It may not mean much but you'll be credited for your fantastic scripting help!

 

[khmp]

It isn't necessary but thank you.

Good luck with your game! :thumb:
