DISPLAYING FACES WITH TEXT

Is there any way to do this in XP? I've seen it done before, and it'd be much better than just using the speaker's name.

You need to use a script I recommend the Universal Message System script. Along with able to do facesets it has a wide variety of options as well.

...Whew. Here we go.
I downloaded the demo, copied Scripts.rxdata and pasted it in the Catastrophe folder (since the demo itself works fine like that), tried to use a face graphic, and I get this.

Also, \ignr doesn't work. It still only gives me three lines to type.
I must be doing something horribly, horribly wrong. I really want to get this to work, though, the screenshots look awesome.
EDIT:
...Oh fuck.
Oh FUCK.
I took scripts.rxdata, moved it into the Data folder, and replaced the old Scripts.rxdata. Now I can't even load the game.
Oh crap.

Look there isn't a prolem that scriptrx.data for UMS still contains the ones you need to do it, every script does as for your error I believe it's because you haen't put the face grahpics into the picture folder.

Yeah, they're in there and I'm telling it to show the right one. I took a VEEEERY basic Ruby tutorial that I never finished, and what it's telling me is that it doesn't know what to do with "face_graphic=". So yeah, it's a problem with the script.

...What made you think that was a good idea without making a backup?

Meh, all I had to do was make a new project and take the scripts.rxdata out of that. I probably should have thought that through a little more anyway...

You aren't initializing the variable that you're calling the face_graphic= method, so its a nil object that has no methods. Open up the script editor after the game closes to the error and it should take you to the script where the error occured.

It didn't.

I assume the error is triggered by an event then. Is the event using the Script command at all?

The picture's filename is "isaac.png".
Something doesn't add up here.

author=NoblemanNick link=topic=2268.msg38933#msg38933 date=1224462362
please is the filename "Issac" and it's in PNG format or is it "Issac.png" as a filename.

Err... I'm not sure what you mean. The filename is isaac.png, and the UMS demo uses $game_system.face_graphic="t1_11" to show t1_11.jpg in the pictures folder. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong here.

Yeah, there is. Obviously we're going too far here. The problem has to be in what I did with the file I downloaded.

I took the scripts.rxdata lying in the UMS folder and put it in the Catastrophe\Scripts folder. No dice. I made a new project and replaced Scripts.rxdata with a fresh one. Then I took UMS' Scripts.rxdata again and placed it on its own in the Catastrophe folder. Then I went into UMS\Scripts and copied that Scripts.rxdata, then placed it in Catastrophe\Scripts. The game was able to load, but I got that error.

The instructions only tell me what the demo tells me, which is how to use the script once it's been implemented... but it never tells me how to do just that. Remember, I'm new to this, so I just had to take some wild guesses, and that's likely where I went wrong.

That did it. Thanks for your help.
