Resource (V2) Mr. Gela's (animated) Portraits and Name Windows scripts for v.20.1, v19.1, and v18.1 3.0

I prefer a position of:
OFFSET_NAMEWINDOW_Y=20

Y coordinates count from top to bottom, on the vast majority of computer-related coordinate systems. So, the top-most part would be added to to get to the bottom of the screen. To make the window go down, you must add to the number. So you should insert a positive value. If you were to insert a negative value, the window would go up.

The "offset" default position of 0 (corresponding to start from, from where the scripter had set the original value), no matter where it starts from (let's say it starts on pixel 120 on the height of the screen), should be added to with + the value you want.

Ok thanks bro. Perfect explanation.
SOLVED!

Welp, guys, this looks like a forum thing, the code got markdown'd indeed. I'm adding a link to a separate text file. That line isn't the only line affected btw, so please get the linked version.

AenaonDogsky updated Mr. Gela's (animated) Portraits and Name Windows scripts for v.18.1, possibly 19 and 20 too with a new update entry:

External download of script

Added a mega link for the script because formatting messed up the code.

If anybody wants the name box to match the currently selected speech frame like so...

The download link has three scripts each numbered after the Essentials version. Yours should be called v20.

You are welcome. The script is a bit trickier to install now that the portraits are png strips, so if you need any help ask and I'll reply as fast as I can.

ebisaleth · Jan 15, 2023

Hello! I'm trying to get this to work with the GSC kit, which has the smaller screen size. So I basically just bruteforced the numbers around until I was happy with the portrait positions, however not the text is just a little bit off to the right. (Even without a portrait that's being displayed.) Anyone has any pointers where I could correct this offset?

Edit: nvm i fixed it i just needed to readd the line msgwindow.moveLeft = true in the pbCreateMessageWindow function.

BroskiPlays · Jan 16, 2023

The plugin is not working for me. It worked for another portrait that I've did. But this one for some reason won't animate. Could you help me?

I followed the whole manual conversion as you can see. (increased the width based on the number of frames and put them next to each other. But when I start the game it just shows this sprite with a part cut off and no animation playing whatsoever.

Hi, most likely, your frame's X and Y dimensions aren't equal.
Let's say it's an 80x79 frame. It won't work. It should be 80x80 (or 90x90, or 26x26, etc)

To find out quickly, open your gif in your image manipulator program, and just look at the dimensions. They should be equal.

Let's say it's an 80x79 frame. It won't work. It should be 80x80 (or 90x90, or 26x26, etc)

To find out quickly, open your gif in your image manipulator program, and just look at the dimensions. They should be equal.

Oooh that makes sense ill fix it then!

Hello! I'm trying to get this to work with the GSC kit, which has the smaller screen size. So I basically just bruteforced the numbers around until I was happy with the portrait positions, however not the text is just a little bit off to the right. (Even without a portrait that's being displayed.) Anyone has any pointers where I could correct this offset?

Edit: nvm i fixed it i just needed to readd the line msgwindow.moveLeft = true in the pbCreateMessageWindow function.

Hi, is this snippet something that should be in 20.1 and I accidentally removed, or is it GSC kit exclusive? Also the game looks great!
