N.A.S.T.Y. Replace Window with Picture
By: Nelderson

Introduction
This script uses pictures instead of windows you specify.  While this looks very simple, for the Photoshop nerds this will be invaluable. 

Features
- Have a picture instead of the default window.
- Use pictures on only the windows you want

- Should be compatible with most custom scripts and windows

Screenshots

Spoiler

Same pictures, with opacity taken down in Photoshop

How to Use

-Configure the PICWINDOW Hash. It should work with not only default windows, but custom windows from other scripts as well.

 

-If you want to know how big your window is to make a picture, the best way is to look at the initialize method on each window class.  It is usually in the format (x, y, width, height).  So the picture you need to make should be the same width and height.  Or another way is to find out the dimensions is to take a screenshot of your game window.  And then with photoshop, or something similar, select the box and look at how big the dimensions are in the select window.

I'll make one if you guys want one!

OMFG You always could see right into my mind a make the exact script I was needing!!! <3 your mad skills still my old friend!!

 

[Nelderson]

Version 1.0 Update:  Now includes a script call to change any window.  You use this before a scene is called, and the pic will change accordingly.

# Last Updated: 3/12/2015
#===============================================================================
# Update History:
# - Version 0.5 - Initial Release - Technically BETA/Tesing Stage
# - Version 1.0 - Fixed issues with the Message window and added
#                 feature to change picture to a window with a script call
#===============================================================================
# *Notes:
#  -This script uses pictures instead of windows you specify.

#===============================================================================
#  Instructions:
#
#  -Configure the PICWINDOW Hash below. It should work with not only 
#   default windows, but custom windows from other scripts as well.
#
#  -If you want to know how big your window is to make a picture,
#   the best way is to look at the initialize method on each window
#   class.  It is usually in the format (x, y, width, height).
#   So the picture you need to make should be the same width and height.
#
#  -You can change the pic of the window you want by using the script call:
#     change_nelwinpic(window, "pic") 
#        Where window is the class and pic is the name in the pictures folder.
#        Ex. change_nelwinpic(Window_Gold, "Gold")
#===============================================================================
# Take the Window Class name => Name of the "picture" in the Pictures folder 
# Example:
# Window_Gold => "Gold",

module NEL    
  PICWINDOW ={   # <=== Do Not Remove      
    Window_Message => "BlueMessage",  
    Window_Gold => "BlueGold",  
    Window_MenuStatus => "BlueStatus",  
    Window_MenuCommand => "BlueCommand",  
    Window_NameInput => "pic4",  
    Window_NameEdit => "blah",
  } # <=== Do Not Remove
