This is a plugin that allows players to create their own custom characters in game (+more!).
Look at the code or download the Plugin:
Character Creator EX
SumRndmDdeThis 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.In order to modify the properties of the sections and pieces, one must
use the Super Tools Engine. Simply go to:Database EX BAK Custom Editors BAK Character Creator Editor
With this, you’ll be able to easily customize the various properties
that exist within the sections!=======================================================================
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-ex/
Within this folder, you need a folder for each section, for example:
/img/character-creator-ex/Body/
/img/character-creator-ex/Mouth/
/img/character-creator-ex/Nose/
/img/character-creator-ex/Glasses/
etc…Within each of these folders, you’ll also need 4 more folders:
/walk/
/dead/
/face/
/sv/As you can probably guess, each of those folders will contain the
corresponding walking, dead, face, and side-view parts of the
parent folder.For example, in order to store the “Face” parts of the “Body” section
you would place them in:/img/character-creator-ex/Body/face/
=======================================================================
Other Images
=======================================================================Finally, you’re also going to need a couple required images placed in:
/img/SumRndmDde/character-creator-ex/
These images are:
Background.png
CustomCharacter.png
CustomFace.png
Walk-Background.png
Dead-Background.png
Face-Background.png
SV-Background.pngThe “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.The “____-Background” images are used as piece backgrounds in the
editor itself.=======================================================================
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 Dead Custom Character
=======================================================================Use the following Plugin Command to make an Actor use their “dead”
custom character image:SetDeadCustomCharacter [actorId] [true/false]
This will set it so the Actor defind by “actorId” will have their
dead image turned on or off.For example:
SetDeadCustomCharacter 3 true
SetDeadCustomCharacter 8 false
SetDeadCustomCharacter 12 true=======================================================================
Setting Event to use Custom Character
=======================================================================If you wish for an event to use a custom character image, simply use
the event notetag:<CustomCharacter: [actorId]>
This will set the event to use the custom image of the actor specified
through the “actorId” input.You can also set an event to use a dead custom character using:
<CustomDeadCharacter: [actorId]>
Examples:
<CustomCharacter: 3>
<CustomDeadCharacter: 23>=======================================================================
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=======================================================================
Custom Colors
=======================================================================While most of the properties that can be manipulated in the
“Character Creator Editor” in the Super Tools Engine are pretty
self explanatory, the color-customization section… is a bit more
difficult.The colors are set up using JSON arrays, meaning:
[info for color 1],
[info for color 2],
…
[info for last color]As you can see, each “color” is separated into its own brackets.
Every color is followed by a comma except for the last one.Now within these colors, you may customize the:
– Name
– Hue
– Saturation
– Brightness
– GrayscaleFor example:
[“Blue”, 100, 0, 1, 0.5]This would set:
– Name: Blue
– Hue: 100
– Saturation: 0
– Brightness: 1
– Grayscale: 0.5You are not forced to fill out all of the properties however. In fact,
[“Green”, 200]
the less you fill out, the better. For a simple Hue shift, all one
needs to do is:This will create a simple color called Green that shifts the hue by 200.
The limits that may be defined through the properties are as follows:
– Hue [0 ~ 360] – Saturation [-1 ~ 1] – Brightness [0 ~ 1] – Grayscale [0 ~ 1]
