I have a lot of face set pictures for my game, I know how to use the script and such. I was just wondering, how if possible I could change the destination folder for where the script looks, Like a new folder "Face sets"? That way my "pictures" folder isn't clogged up with face sets.

Thanks all! :3

There are actually two ways to do that:

1. Just replace this line

CODE

RPG::Cache.picture([picture name])

with this:

CODE

RPG::Cache.picture("Face Sets/" + [picture name])

where [picture name] must be replaced by the picture name.
Remember you should create that new folder just inside the Pictures folder.

This is the most straightforward way.

2. There's another way to do it, however.
You should add this in a blank above main:

CODE

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

and call

CODE

RPG::Cache.face( [picture name])

when you need to use a face file. This way, you will be able to put your Face Sets folder just in the Graphics folder and you won't be obliged to put it into the Pictures folder.

I hope this can help, ask for further explainations anytime

Thanks so much! Going to give the first one a try. Though it doesn't quite match up with it. And there are a few of them, so I'll try it on all and see. Experiment from there XD

You have to replace only the ones which actually call the face files...
If this method doesn't work, send me a PM with the script and I'll fix it.
