Galv's Message Busts

Galv · 2015-11-02T06:35:35+0900

Message Busts - Version 2.7 RPG Maker MV Plugin Galv Introduction A port of my Ace version to work a similar way to show busts. Screenshot Features Display a bust image instead of the face chosen in the "Show Text" event command. Settings allow you to choose the bust location: - appear above message box or bottom of screen - appear in front or behind message box - text indent size for busts appearing in front of window Plugin call allows to change bust display to: - appear on left or right - appear mirrored - disable busts and show faces as normal Other stuff - escape code to change bust mid message - 'member' face set, to show face/bust of member 1-8 in the party. - 'leader' face set, to show a certain position in the leader's faceset (useful for emotions in the leader's talking no matter who the leader is). - The above works for faces in messages as well as busts as they are based off of the faces. How to Use - Copy the "GALV_MessageBusts.js" file into your project's /js/plugins/ folder. - Activate plugin using the 'Plugin Manager' - Put busts into your /img/pictures/ folder and name them accordingly (refer to help file and demo) - Read the 'HELP' documentation (also found in plugin manager) for more details and try the demo if you don't understand.

Image size shouldn't affect anything but you could test that out by using a different size image to be sure.

It might be a plugin conflict depending what's happening. Here's a quick checklist of things to try:

I changed the plugin order, and it worked! I'm so glad! Thank you, Galv <3

I feel bad for posting again but.. . this happened:

Spoiler

Even though I put 1/1 for Bust priority and position, the text looks like it's ignoring the bust (yes, there's more text behind it) :C

If you make the "Text X Offset" setting a higher number, does it push the text to the right more? The text position is controlled with that setting, the bust doesn't push it over.

Nop. First I put 400, then nothing. Then I put 1000, and still nothing.

It could still be still another plugin conflicting with this one. You will need to do tests to try to find out which one before I can help.

Point 8 in my error checklist:

Test message-related plugins first.

Can you take a screen shot of the plugins you're using and I'll take a look for you to see what might be causing this.

Ok, I did some testing in another game. Apparently, this plugin conflicts with YEP_MessageCore. So in order to fix it, you need to ignore the "Text X Offset" and go to the MessageCore and switch the number from "Face Indent" with the number you wanted in "Text X Offset"~ Then it'll work perfectly. Hahah I feel a little stupid but thank you for being so kind in trying to help me :))~

@andai I found the problem already! hehe Thank you for being so kind too!!

Hmm. So, busts should work and behave like in the Message Styles plugin now too? Or are they considered two different kinds of messages?

The busts will display in the floating messages now. You'll have to grab latest Message Styles plugin (1.4) for it to work - I made boo-boos by mistake haha.

Hi Galv i like your message bust Plug-in a lot, it takes me away a lot of work very nice made.

I have an important question in the vx ace times i had done the messages with an other method(rather annoying with picture display(bigger faces than usual), text, picture delete, picture display...)
but i could make a smooth transition that the picture with the face appears slow with 25-30 frames and then the text, with your plug-in i unfortunately can't do that effekt for me the faces come to quickly^^

Is it possible that you could add this function to your message bust plug-in as well would be very grateful if you could do that.

as an another example i can say that you could use this function also when a ghost appears an he beginns to speak bevor his text appears his face fades 60 frames very slow in.

The speed the busts fade in/out with this plugin is based on how open the message window is and I don't have any plans to change this at the moment, sorry

Hi Galv,

Great plugin thanks, although something a little off is happening.

I run an auto event, I do a show text box and the bust appears. Then the next person that speaks doesn't have a bust so I use the plugin command BUST FALSE before their show text and it turns the bust off. Then I turn it back on using BUST TRUE for the next message, works fine. Then I turn it off again before the next message, but the previous bust still stays on screen and doesn't disappear. It does change when a new bust should appear so that works but it seems like the BUST FALSE plugin command doesn't register after the first time for some reason.

Any ideas?

This is happening to me as well for any events with bust shots I've tried, and the suggested fix of wait times did not solve it at all. I can add that if I finish playing through the event and it ends, the last used bust stays on the screen. I haven't yet tried leaving the area, but having to change maps just to get rid of a picture would be downright ridiculous.

I really hope the solution isn't to just not use face files for non heroes. I would prefer to be able to do both.

I have updated to 2.1 that should fix this issue for you. If it still doesn't and you said the suggested fix of wait times doesn't work then you might have to check for plugin conflict

The new released made the "BUST FALSE" command completely ineffectual, causing every normal face graphic to get the standard error for not having a picture to redirect to.

1. Did you check for plugin conflict?

2. Does this happen for you in the plugin demo?

I think you misunderstood my most recent post. Only the new release does this. The old one didn't. Which means that something you did in the new release caused this bug, though whether plugin conflicts have anything to do with it is unclear as of yet.

To clarify, this is a different bug from the first one altogether.

~~I'm trying to help you here, please let me know if you checked for plugin conflict and if it happens for you in the demo of the new release.~~

Ahh, I managed to replicate it now - thanks, will work on a fix.

EDIT: Fixed with update 2.2

I got the same bug through a different route after several days of the plugin working normally. It appears the "BUST FALSE" command doesn't work and thus the "pictures/blabla.png not found" error triggers if you've already used a bust shot once in autorun events. I'm still testing myself so I'm not positive this is the exact cause, but it's a place to start looking until I have more concrete findings.

EDIT: after a bit of rooting around, it seems like it was a problem with the event before it, not with the plugin. Sorry.
