Status Window with Full-Body Picture, Modeled after Tales of Symphonia Options

[Twilight27]

Is the script availabe at the top the proper, improved script? Or is it the one woratana did?

Anyway, a demo would be nice. Demos are always nice, lol.

[Lato]

ok i did the whole 1 => "l2t2k lancer", thing and that works fine, its a bit to the left but ok, but with all that room left over in sttus menue how do i write a bio in there to?

[zolaga]

I tried it and my picture shows up centered...

[RisingPhoenix]

@zolaga: The first thing I would check is if your picture has any empty space on the right, since that would throw off the position. I haven't looked at this script in a long time...actually you need to set the X_Offset value so the picture is aligned how you like it.

@lato22: I didn't really intend for a bio to be written on the screen (it supposed to be just statistical data) but I'll try come up with something customizable.
Update: I pretty much have it working except I haven't figured out how to let the user make newlines yet.

Thanks I figured it out, Love the script BTW.
Probably going to use this in every game I ever make

[DestinMancer]

How do I use this with the RMVX large character pictures?

[C4karura]

hey i look in the code and i see kanji?
will that change anything since i use the english rpg maker vx..and i am not that good with scripts exactly where is the main? what is the main T.T * a desperate cry for help*

No it will not change anything, as those are just comments (the game does not read them).

[GunZz]

Don't work at me.I do everything but don't work.Use the same things from the demo and again nothing.Just can't show the picture in the Status menu.

[RuGeaR1277]

uhh... anyone have any idea where can i find the pictures of the original characters of RMVX to be used in this script?

EDIT:
nvm... i found it! =p

Hello. Is there a way to make the picture not be raised a few pixels off the bottom border? I believe Wora mentioned this earlier. Thanks.

Edit: I see its not just the bottom...it seems there is like a 20 pixel outer border on all 4 sides that your background image will not cover (leaving a blue border)...been trying to tweak the code to change this but not having luck yet.

::Bump::

Can I get a reply to this please? Thanks.

That border is there for all windows. You cannot place something flat against the edge of the screen unless you make the window BIGGER than the screen.

A work around is to make a new window of which its bottom-right edges sit outside the screen with the opacity set to 0. Then place the picture file in this window. This way the picure can be moved closer to the edge yet the main window will remain intact.

I'm not sure it can be done any other way. (Never really thought or looked at how windows are drawn in VX, though I will look shortly..)


>>> EDIT:

Like so..



The only problem here is, the image will be displayed over the status text. A third window would be required to fix this, so sometimes it can get quite messy....Although lag shouldnt be an issue as its a static scene

Hmm; it actually kinda looks cool with the guy out of the window like that. The problem of the person going over the text can be avoided by just drawing the person carefully/being aware of where he would be on the screen. Could you show us the code modifications required to do this? I'm still learning ruby so it would be helpful. Thanks.

I had been looking for something like this for a loooong time, this is so good! But I need some instructions, can somebody help me? I don't know where to put the pics & stuff..

Edit: I found it out, but my pic appears in the center of the window... :/ dunno what to do

[nobodyreal]

Is there a way to make it where the profile pics that show up are random or you could change it later on in the game?

It would be helpful in cases where the character gets scarred or goes through a timeskip. Or just plain fun where it's different each time you open the status screen.

[Yangbo]

Can you change the status image through an event? If so could anyone help me?

[RisingPhoenix]

If you want to change the status picture, you can use an event to call the script:

CODE

RisingPhoenix::CharacterFullPics[ID] = "NewPic"

ID is the character's ID and NewPic is the file name of the new picture.

Edit: Actually...I just realized this will no't carry over in saved games, since the information is not saved with characters...

Holy Necropost, Batman!

Well, if you have a actor in the 1 slot named Hero1, then name the file picture file hero1. You don't really have to but it would make it easier to manage. Then under this part at the top:

CharacterFullPics = {
#(Leave file name blank for no picture for that character; picture files are stored in the System folder)
#(Try to stick to a height of 390ish, anything below that is cut off - widths can vary but the picture will be right-aligned)
#ID => "file name"
1 => "",
}

You would assign the picture values. Where 1 would be the name of the first actor and so on. Like this.

1 => "Hero1",
2 => "Hero2",
3 => "Hero3",

I think that should explain it. The pics, though you will just have to get for whatever character you want and make them the correct size.

Okay call me a noob but this still doesn't make sense to me. Where do you save the pictures to and what would you call them for it to work? would you just name them the same as the actor's name? Like you say if the actor was called Hero1 would you name the picture Hero1 aswell? or what dude I'm not a scripter so it makes no sense to me.
