Script for Character Portraits/Text Box like this?

[Ubiquity]

I've been finding that the base size for the character faces doesn't do a good job in helping set the atmosphere for my game. However, I don't want to use bust portraits, rather I was looking to just have larger face portraits. Does anyone know of a script that would make the text box look more like this (screenshot of the game Ib):

The character portraits are bigger then the base ones, and are in their own window as opposed to being merged into the normal text box.

You can also do this without scripts, if you want to. Instead of using the default message window skin, show a picture and delete it afterwards. In a graphics program just add a frame around the face graphics. Write the text than only on lines 2-4.

I am aware that I could use pictures, but I was looking for something that wouldn't require as much tedious work every time I wanted to have a line of text, hence a script.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this last part.

Well, actually on your sreen it just looks like they have drawn a border around the face graphic, manually. And it also looks like just the first line of text is not used. So they wrote simply on the lines below the first line, thus only using 3 instead of 4 lines.

You can ease your way with eventing the message window in a common event and simply call the common event. That's not to tedious to call it afterwards.

Of course, if you insist on getting a script for this - which is understandable - I can't help you. You can try and figure it out yourself in the script section, or hope for someone who knows such a script or is willing to code it for you. You can also check the links in the Anti-Spam thread here. Maybe there is something you can use.

Thanks for your replies. I'm going to see if I can script something on my own (as scripting knowledge is something I wanted to try my hands on anyway), but chances are I'm just going to use pictures.
