Hello,

I'm trying to make a set bg image appear for certain windows in RMXP but I am having trouble doing so. Say the scenario is this:

Create a 336x480 bg image on Window_Target (The window that appears when using a skill in the default setup).

I would be incredibly grateful if someone could show me how it's done.

I'm not comfortable with any idea that can't be expressed in the form of men's jewelry

Hm. I don't have RMXP, but I'll yell at prexus if I see him later to check this out.

Thanks I appreciate it. Little by little i am filtering out xp's annoying little inhibiting factors.

I think you need 2 windowskins. 1 with the image, and 1 without, then use the change windowskin command when appropriate.

If that's not the answer, then I can't help.

If you just want an image to show up, the best way is just to create a sprite object.

Find this code (from Scene_Item but basically the same)

@target_window.x = (@item_window.index + 1) % 2 * 304
@target_window.visible = true
@target_window.active = true

and add this before it:

@target_background = Sprite.new
@target_background.bitmap = RPG::Cache.picture('FILENAME') # CHANGE FILENAME
@target_background.x = (@item_window.index + 1) % 2 * 304

and this after it:

@target_window.opacity = 0

You'll also need to put a

@target_background.update if @target_background

in def update
and a

@target_background.dispose if @target_background

after this:

# Erase target window
@item_window.active = true
@target_window.visible = false
@target_window.active = false

It works but I can still see the text from the previous layer through it? ???

Er, do something like @target_background.z = @skill_window.z + 10
then @target_window.z = @target_background.z + 10
