Resource Portraits in text messages 1.0

Kiedisticelixer submitted a new resource:

Portraits in text messages - Animated or static graphics such as faces to display during text.

What's this?
Normally, to display pictures, you can use the text command "\f[filename]" or "\ff[filename,index]". I've made a few simple additions to how text is processed to allow for two different pictures at once (so you can use left, right, or both at the same time). I've also included a sample (animated!) portrait from Fire Emblem. Check the Credits tab for the original sheet.

Show me the goods!

Hi! I've been trying to figure out how to implement this exact mechanic forever, so thank you so much for creating it! I am a little confused as to how to put it in my game, though. As for as I can tell, there isn't a section called, "Messages." Where should I paste the script?

Thanks! =D

I solved it.

How did you solve it? Where did you put the script in the first place, btw? I can't figure out where it's supposed to go.

And to solve it I did only one change
Line 36 @message_position=1
\ML[Image] and text
(Note: I have done this to get only one mugshot but if you want two mugshot then @message_position should be 2.
Also It will only work when\ML[Image]\MR[Image] and text.
Images should be in graphics, pictures folder.

This didn't work for me, I still get the same error that you initially did. Did you change any other scripts than Messages? Thanks!

I'm wondering if you can do the same for the Pokemon as well? Like if the player interact a Trainer's Pokemon like a Meowth for example?

You get to decide how to use the script!
It just let's you add the protraits where you want them, they're not necessarilly attactched to a certain character by default.

No sorry, It worked for me.

Got it working! Images need to go under Graphics\Pictures. Thanks! =D

That's good.:grinning:


I want to ask something. How to add this feature:
If we choose girl character, the portrait will be of girl.
If we choose boy character, the portrait will be of boy.
If anyone could help me in this.

Things like these should be asked here. But here's an answer for your question.

Hey, I found this to be extremely helpful, thanks a lot!

I've ran into the following problem: When I implement an animated GIF-file as the portray, the first frame is displayed with the correct transparency, but all of the following frames have a black or white background. I've checked in GIMP, but all frames seem to be transparent in the file. Is there any solution to this? Thanks in advance!

I had that issue too when working with the script. The .gifs seemed to work if your frames are set to Combine instead of Replace.
If you haven't worked with that before, basically all frames are just layered on top of each other instead of showing one frame at a time. This doesn't really cause any issues if your character's movement is just lip flaps, where a new face would completely cover the previous frame's face. If the movement is anything that changes the silhouette of the character though, it doesn't really work with combined frames.

I have this script installed alongside Gela's other script, Portraits in Messages, and now the Portraits in Messages script does not work at all. I discovered this by pasting the following into and event with the show text command "\xn[Bob]\ml[Bob]". The name window popped up just fine and displayed "Bob"; however, my image of "Bob" did not. Prior to installing this script I had no problems with the Portrait Messages script. Any help at all is greatly appreciated!

Excuse me, but does this work in v18?
