Composite Characters / In-game Character Creation

[Dr. Madd]

Hey Neon black,

I'm loving your script! It's clean, systematic, and beautiful. But I seem to have found a glitch in the Save system. When a character is created and a game is saved. Another new CHARACTER that is created in a NEW GAME gets replaced with the one of the existing save file when the cursor moves over the said save file. 

Here are the images:

New Character:



When choosing to save over a pre existing save file:



Catherine is now a man:



The problem is only temporary as opening and closing the menu will bring the new character back again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Oh and I'm sorry, I don't know how to enclose the images under the "spoiler" option @_@

Apologies if this is considered a necropost.
This script was working perfectly fine until I decided to remove unused stuff. Now I'm running into this:
 

 
Here's my script:

<I resolved my issue. Please see next post>

I was wondering maybe if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong? I literally have no clue what it could be.
 
Thanks a lot in advanced.

Please do not create a new thread AND post the same thing in the thread for the script. If you have issues with a script that has a topic here, your question should be posted in the topic (so in this case, necroposting in THIS thread was the correct thing to do).


You also don't need to include the entire script, if you're providing a link to it, unless you've made your own mods. And when you DO include a script, add code AND spoiler tags if it's a long one.


It LOOKS like there's an error in the script. Bitmap.new requires either a filename or a width and height. That line provides neither. Neon Black will need to check this out and advise.

My apologies. I wasn't sure of the BBcode for spoilers. Oh, and about the second post thing; I was a bit frustrated with the script, so I didn't think twice about reposting. I'm sorry about that too! thanks.

And regarding the script. I don't think the line is supposed to provide either. I didn't even touch the actual script past customization options, but I appreciate the help! I'm going to keep trying to fix it, and I will edit this post if I manage to get it to work. 

EDIT:

I successfully resolved my issue.

It was a problem regarding the script requiring the certain things I removed. Although they are unnecessary, I am keeping them in the script regardless and simply clearing the sprite.

I'm saying Bitmap.new requires one or two parameters. Neon Black needs to take a look at it and see if that's the case, and if so, provide default parameters on that line.

I just downloaded this yesterday, and i need help. when I try and customize my character in game this shows up "Script 'CP Character Composite' line 493: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method 'include?' for nil:NilClass" appears, and this is what is in that line.
  elsif @equip_hashes.include?(key) && Composites.include_block?(block,

       @equip_hashes[key][0])
I'm no scripter and I don't know whats wrong or how to fix it. Help would be very much appreciated.

Nevermind I found my problem, when it went to edit the character it was trying to edit someone I didn't have inside my party. My mistake. anyways, awesome job! this is a great script and it is very helpful to me.

My sprite doesn't have eyes when switching to a custom eye set. It shows up on the face graphic, but not the sprite???

 

[Mireneye]

Lemme get this straight.. Not sure if I missed some instructions. I'm using double height sprites. Is there anything specific I would need to change in order to make that work? 

I realize I have to basically make all the graphics myself. But if the system can not support it easily, I'm not gonna bother probably.

That being said this is one BEASTLY script! Awesomely done sir!

Hello!

First of all, I want to say how grateful I am for a script like this, it looks great, and it works great in the demo provided. However, I keep on getting an error when using this script in my own projects! I can't work around it whatsoever, and I'm not sure what's causing it.

I added a screenshot of the error message I get when using your script, and really hope someone has a solution!

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Never mind, I figured out what caused the problem. Sorry!

Hey there, I'm having a small problem with this script. 

If the player chooses "Female", saves the game, quits, opens the game, and loads her save, the female becomes a male.

Can someone please help? Thanks in advance!

Hello there, I am newbielol123, maker of an RPG Maker VX Ace game.

I am using this script and it works very well for me. Though, I want to add emotions into the player so his face isn't just a face that was set by default after character creation.

If anyone is able to help me, please reply to this as soon as possible.

The picture below is an emotion set but i want it to be like to where the player can choose his/her own way of looks, such as the eyes, hair and other stuff, but still have the chance to give emotion into the game for when the player interacts in the story.

 

[JumbocactuarX27]

Hey newbielol123,

In order to add emotion to randomly generated faces, you'll need to edit the script to create faces for each emotion on the created character. Then I'm pretty sure you'll have to control what emotion is showing by calling a script to change which emotion displays next.

At least, that's how I'd do it.

 

[newbielol123]

Hey JumbocactuarX27

Like for example, this is just a hair. So for each one, I add a face with an emotion.

If you can, can you give me a demo of yours?

 

[JumbocactuarX27]

Hey newbielol123,

You're close. I can't give you an example as I haven't tried to do exactly what you're doing, but maybe I can better describe where to look and what you need to change. You'll want to look at the CP Character Composite script in your script editor.

Once you're looking at the script it seems to me (and keep in mind that I haven't really looked into this too much) that you'll want to add a variable that tracks what emotion is being displayed to the Game_Actor class that starts at line 407. Then, in the function that compiles the layers into a single bitmap image for the game to display, you'll want to replace the loading of FaceF and FaceM with the appropriate face for the gender the player has selected and the emotion you want to display.

Once you've edited the script to do this, you'll need to add your custom face images into the game directory's Graphics/Composite/Faces sub-folder. After you put them in there, be sure that you edit the script's FILE_HANDLERS array to make sure that you can access them!

That's it in a nutshell, but it's probably easier said than done. I'm sure there's some small hitch you'll run into but with a little scripting know-how I'm sure you'll pull through.

Good luck!

 

[newbielol123]

I am sorry Jumbo, but I am still lost. If you can give me more in depth or help me a little more, it would be appreciated. I have little experience of scripting but not good enough to what your explaining. Please help! Or ask someone to help script for me plz!

 

[JumbocactuarX27]

I think you may have to choose between not using this script or not having emotions on your composite characters.

Alternatively, spend some time learning how to script. I've got my own games to make, so I don't have the time to help you modify this script.

Here's a link to a thread with some good RGSS3 scripting tutorials: http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/19863-rgss3-scripting-tutorial-videos/

 

[newbielol123]

I'm trying but I know its hard for you to help me. If there is anyone who can, please reply to me.

Actually, I have figured out how to add emotions. With a little bit of researching, I found out how to do it. If you wanna see the alpha demo of my game, please go to http://www.newbgamingz.co.nr/.

This script worked fine at first and now it won't stop giving me this error when I call it and I didn't modify anything or add anything.  Why is it suddenly not working?

Here is the error and sorry if I was rude but I am extremely frusterated because I really want to use this script in my game:

Hey I love your script But i cam across this error while using it and im not sure what the problem is D: http://puu.sh/9Tip7/953cd332e5.png
