v21.1 Simple Portrait System 1.0

A lightweight portrait manager for Pokémon Essentials v21.1+

Allows portrait display, auto-slotting, dimming, speaker highlighting, and easy bulk erasing. Designed for simplicity and minimal setup. RPG Maker's Show and Erase Picture commands require a lot more information and force running multiple every time you want to make a change like showing a different image for the same person. This plugin aims to simplify it, requiring fewer arguments and condensing complex changes into single easy-to-use commands.

Installation: Download and unzip the file. Drop the Simplified Portraits folder into your game's Plugins folder.

Initial Setup:
Your portraits should be the full size of the visible game screen with your character positioned where you want them in the frame.

Just name your portraits as: <CharacterName><PortraitVersion>
Place the images inside: Graphics/Pictures/Portraits

Example filename: RedL1.png

See instructions.rb for available commands and how to use them.

Hope you enjoy!
