Character Creator
SumRndmDde

This is a plugin that allows players to create their own custom characters
in game.

A menu system in which the player can create a character can be called
upon at any time and assigned to an Actor. Once an Actor has been assigned
a custom character, that character will be used on the map and in side-
view battles.

========================================================================
Setting up Files
========================================================================

In order to set up the “generator” pieces, you need to create a new
folder in the “img” folder called “character-creator”.

So the file location should be:

/img/character-creator/

Within this folder, you need 3 new folders:

“walk” – Overworld Character pieces
“dead” – Dead Character pieces
“sv” – Side-View Character pieces
“face” – Side-View Character pieces

So these should be located as:

/img/SumRndmDde/character-creator/walk/
/img/SumRndmDde/character-creator/dead/
/img/SumRndmDde/character-creator/sv/
/img/SumRndmDde/character-creator/face/

Within each folder, they all need to have the same folders.
Each folder represents a “section” within the Character Creator.

For example, if you created a “head”, “body”, and “feet” folder within
each of the folders of the Character Creator, those would appear as
sections once you placed them in the “Order” Parameter.

I would highly recommend using the sample images provided.

Finally, you’re also going to need a couple required images placed in:

/img/SumRndmDde/character-creator/

These images are:

Background.png
CustomCharacter.png
CustomFace.png
LoadingResources.png

The “Background” image will be used as a background for the character
creator if you choose to use it.

The “CustomCharacter” and “CustomFace” will be used in scenarios where
a custom character’s Character or Face image cannot be loaded.

Finally, the “LoadingResoureces” image will appear to inform the player
that the resources are loading while in the Character Creator.

========================================================================
Opening the Character Creator
========================================================================

In order to set up the Character Creator, use the Plugin Command:

OpenCharacterCreator [actorId]

Set “actorId” to the Actor ID of the Actor you wish to create images for.

For example:

OpenCharacterCreator 3
OpenCharacterCreator 7
OpenCharacterCreator 26

========================================================================
Showing Custom Face in Show Text
========================================================================

If you wish to have a character’s custom face used in a “Show Text”,
here’s what you need to do:

1) Make sure there is a face image selected for the “Show Text” event.
It can be any face image, it just needs to be there.

2) Use the following notetag in the “Show Text” box:

<CC Face: [id]>

Set “id” to the ID of the Actor who has the Custom Face you wish to use.

========================================================================
Disabling the Custom Images
========================================================================

In order temporarily distable the custom images set up for an Actor, use
the Plugin Command:

DisableCharacterCreatorImages [actorId]

Of course, simply set “actorId” to the Actor ID you wish to disable
custom character images for.

EnableCharacterCreatorImages [actorId]

This would enable the character creator images again.

For example:

DisableCharacterCreatorImages 12
EnableCharacterCreatorImages 8
