Looks like you are coming a long way Echo! I stopped working on RPG maker for 6 months because I wasn't feeling the story. Gonna try to start again. Loving this plugin, also ordered a drawing tablet so I can start making my own anime characters. :3 Hope the move went well!
When you actually stop and read what the characters are saying...hilarious. Nicely done, Miss 607. Nicely done. And you might want to look into getting that number part removed, for sake of convenience.
Oh wow nice. I just started with the RPG Maker and was looking for something like that. Helped out a lot. Thank you very much for this video and the plug in
Galv has an Ace script for this galvs-scripts.com/2012/12/01/message-busts/ I use the settings BUST_Y_OVER = true, TEXT_X = -55, and SLIDE = false. It displays the text to the right of the character, who appears above the textbox. Granted, this looks best because I have resized the graphics with Yanfly Core. I use said settings because I mix both busts and sprite movement, so I didn't want to block out the map with a character bust.
I think I might know how. She said you can change a graphic mid text, so maybe if you have a normal character bust, then have switch to and back from a character bust with their eyes closed, it might look like they're blinking! I don't know if that will work though.
oh yeah EXACTLY what I need :D ok I just went to his page and YAYS that plug-in is 100% free to use x3 I just wish that all of that plug-in scripters would let us use there plug-ins for free like... Yanfly as example
+pokemonsoulfreak211 CHIBIS! HAha, I could do a LMAG series with them I suppose. They're main characters in another series that's on hold until I can get all of my old plugins for MV. So like - by the time the next RM is out O_O
So i know im like way behind but for some reason my bust image wont show up. I can see where my art is supposed to come up but its just blank. Do you have any idea what im doing wrong? There is a new thing added to my Plugin called Filename Appended. It reads this. ADDED: A plugin setting called "Filename Append". Whatever you put in this setting will be added to the end of the filename. Using the above example, if the Filename Append setting is "_bust", then the plugin will use /img/pictures/Actor1_2_bust.png instead. please help oh great one! I love everything you do and you have been such a huge help!
"Remember, all filenames are case sensitive, so make sure to use the correct capitalization/case for your faces and busts. The filename append means, if u write "_bust" there, then apply, it will search for "Face123_1_bust.png" instead of "Face123_1.png" Hope it helps.
Hello, thank you for making tutorials! I've learned a lot and it's helped me a bunch. However, I was wondering if it's possible to have both a bust and a head up at the same time within a dialogue without the bust freaking out and sticking to the screen even after the dialogue ends? Thank you so much, Echo! PS - I subbed :D
I sure someone has covered this somewhere. But I shall ask. I am trying to add custom sprites that I've designed. There 31 by 58 for each frame. My big question is. How the heck do you add them to RPG Maker MV if there larger than the other sprites. I know how to import them. But when I do my sprites are cut off. I am totaly new to RPG maker and have a real passion to design my own game. If you could just help me out I'd greatly Appreciate it. Thank You!!!
nice to meet you Echo607, is there a way to have these full body character pictures during battle? Such as the full body character picture will be displayed, when it is the turn for a character to select command. Thank you in advance.
can you still use just the heads with the plugin? personally i think Busts are nice, but i wouldnt wanna use them that much, except for introducing new main characters/npcs.
What I want is something that allows me to have an animated bust--and not just blinking, or the mouth moving open and closed when the character talks. I want to make my game so that the sprites are 2D, but when you go to talk to someone, their image next to the text becomes animated where the mouth moves to actually look like what's being said in the text...But I haven't seen anything on how to do that...some sort of "display video" instead of image or something?
Just curious. I wanna have a message box displays the character image above the text box (simular to Suikoden's). Would it be possible to do that with this plugin?
I just want to make sure I understood this; the resolution for a full bust sprite is 395X563 pixels. Could this mean that the maximum resolution is about 563X563 or is it genuinely limited to 395X563? I apologize if this is a stupid question.
So I got the MZ version and have downloaded its version of the plugin. The part of the process I still can't figure out is after applying the plugin. What's the next part to get the bust to appear?
+MentalWyro Yup. Both are free to play. endlessgaming.today/downloads/xp-downloads.php GM's a quite old, but has been LP'd on this channel. The sequel is much more recent. The game I'm currently working on is a remake of the first one, and it's progress can be viewed in my recent devlog videos:3
Well, I am deeply fascinated by RM-MV, but it appears I would need to learn a few new things before jumping back into it. I'm most familiar with RPGMaker 2k3 and 2k.
I like your tutorials, they are very usefull, i just read this comment and followed the link but its no longer active, do you have another one to download your games?
Hey! I REALLY want to use this, and I got the plugin, but I don't know how to create the full body art! Is there a video on this I missed, or do I do it in Photoshop? Help!!!
Hello I have watched this video like 100 times and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have all my images named after face sets example Meru_1. but I seem to have an issue when my main character talks to one person everything is fine, she talks to another person and I get a type error undefined is not a function? but if I close the game down and load it up I can talk to said person that it didn't allow me to last time, do you happen to know what I did or what I'm not doing to get this error.
Hi Echo, it's been years for me to find a very good RPG Maker tutorials, and I've been playing with VX Ace last year, and now I come back to MV, and your tutorials were helpful, thankyou! :D But I have one request, and I'm totally new to this kind of stuffs, how do you make a light, like your scenes on the beach?? Can you share the image, and make the tutorials? Thanks :) I've seen your tutorial about fog as a picture, but I dont really understand since MV alittle different with VX, can you do it? Thanks :) I'm totally new to Parallax, and pictures stuffs.. thanks. :)
+Jody Hong Here's the playlist for all of the tutorials. I'd recommend Parallax Mapping, Pictures as Lighting, and Tips and Tricks 1 for cool lighting and mapping things:3 ruclips.net/p/PLTcc-t1_NNLUzIUVRDyNWyGkfT-TBRtkG
+Pluxit :3 Here is a link to the plugin's game demo, you can check it out and play around with it to figure it out^_^ galvs-scripts.com/2015/11/01/mv-message-busts/ You copy/paste the graphics into your games \img\pictures folder(you can get here by going to Game > Open Game Folder, in MV), with the image name(being the same as the character's face graphic) and an "_number" at the end, referring to the number of which face it is. Then you just add the face into the message window like normal and it'll swap it out for the bust graphic.
@к๏и - yourgamename\img\pictures Make sure your character's bust image is the same name as the file name of the actor's face your replacing, underscore ("_"), and the # position of the face (left to right, top to bottom).
+Shiro Nikku I haven't tried it, but for the icons, the internet tells me to increase the Iconset.png's size and add the new ones to the bottom. forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/7020-import-change-item-icons/
I don't get it so i increase the length of the image? And it needs to be by 24 pixels? Than what do I just copy the images onto the picture somehow???...
WHY HAS NOONE MADE A STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL??????? I HAVE WATCHED 3 TUTORIALS AND IT STILL DOESNT WORK AT ALL WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO GIVE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TAKE YOUR ADHD MEDS
I've made a map. I put together some sketches of what i want the characters full art to look like. thank you for this. i needed this
Looks like you are coming a long way Echo! I stopped working on RPG maker for 6 months because I wasn't feeling the story. Gonna try to start again. Loving this plugin, also ordered a drawing tablet so I can start making my own anime characters. :3 Hope the move went well!

You are doing gods work. You guys are going to be the reason a bunch of great RPGs will come out
Oh wow nice. I just started with the RPG Maker and was looking for something like that. Helped out a lot. Thank you very much for this video and the plug in
4:42 You've just made yourself my fav youtuber with that xD
that's awesome! i didn't know about that plug-in! time to draw some pictures now ~
Your art is getting better! Keep up the good work, looks nice!
Yup, this is exactly what I'm finding, thank you!
Yay, "Busty Graphics" ! ;-)
Thanks for the tutorial - very cool!
They should make a plugin that could load .gif files. So much improvement in art. Great Job
Yes, thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Omg that lovely voice is back again
fantastic tutorial. thank you very much and keep up the good work
THANKS YOU SO MUCH!!! I always wanted full body pictures for the dialogue X) Your tutoriels are so good and make things so easier °^°
2:01 "The prosecution is cheating!"
When you only have VX ace...

you dont need this you can just use 2 images in your event... IN ANY RPG MAKER ! I remember doing the same tutorial for RPG Maker 2k3
UNDERTALE FAN??
@@lewiskarma797 not really lol, I had this name for years
@@Gweniepoo776 oh...
OMG OMG OMG.. I know I'm few months late from discovering this site but,,,, DAMN YOU'RE TOO CUTE!!!!!
I feel so well informed thank you!!!
Wooah! Love this!!
Do you think it's possible that the characters blink or something? That would be perfect!! '3'
+NadeshikoLove1 As soon as I figure out how I'll post about it:3 - that's also a feature I want, along with mouth movements while text is writing.
Awesome! You read my mind, jaja!
I'll be waiting for it then~
Hey Echo! Any availability on that so far? :)
I think I might know how. She said you can change a graphic mid text, so maybe if you have a normal character bust, then have switch to and back from a character bust with their eyes closed, it might look like they're blinking! I don't know if that will work though.
There is a plugin for blinking on your characters
Thanks for uploading this! This is super helpful!
Спасибо❤
Ooooh my gosh, thank-you for this!!!
This is so cool. I just hope there was something similar for MZ
There is! 'Galv's Message Busts' :) I'm dumb as HECK so _i_ can't get it to work but it does work lol
Checking out your videos and I must say I love your voice 🙂
I'm very terible drawer and i want make game with bust chracters. :|
Maybe because i don't have draw style. :D
So good video. :)
Same!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭
i'm creating my main character's bust graphics as i'm watching lol
Where can I see the tutorial offered at 00:22? Please? I would like my own art on my game. Thanks.
I just use pictures for my busts , this seems a tad more confusing ( for me )
thanks for the tutorial :D NowI know how to use it ;)
oh yeah EXACTLY what I need :D
ok I just went to his page and YAYS that plug-in is 100% free to use x3
I just wish that all of that plug-in scripters would let us use there plug-ins for free like... Yanfly as example
...Akarika and Munyan Adventures confirmed? Also, for the question: CHIBIS. Lots of em....Anyway, thanks again for the tutorial echo!
+pokemonsoulfreak211 CHIBIS! HAha, I could do a LMAG series with them I suppose. They're main characters in another series that's on hold until I can get all of my old plugins for MV. So like - by the time the next RM is out O_O
if you can also get the graphic to support play once or loop animations, with setting for framerate... :P
Is it compatible with auto namebox plugin?
Im trying to use this, but i made all the things you made and the bust didnt appeareat at my screen.
So i know im like way behind but for some reason my bust image wont show up. I can see where my art is supposed to come up but its just blank. Do you have any idea what im doing wrong?
There is a new thing added to my Plugin called Filename Appended.
It reads this.
ADDED: A plugin setting called "Filename Append".
Whatever you put in this setting will be added to the end of the filename.
Using the above example, if the Filename Append setting is "_bust", then the
plugin will use /img/pictures/Actor1_2_bust.png instead.
please help oh great one!
I love everything you do and you have been such a huge help!
"Remember, all filenames are case sensitive, so make sure to use the correct
capitalization/case for your faces and busts.
The filename append means, if u write "_bust" there, then apply, it will search for "Face123_1_bust.png" instead of "Face123_1.png"
Hope it helps.
Hello, thank you for making tutorials! I've learned a lot and it's helped me a bunch.

Do you still need help with this or is it fixed? I know this is way late lol.
I can swear I have heard her voice in several games before
OMG! Thank you! You are the best
Do you know, which plugin I can use for that I saw a picture of the hero all the time?
what if you want a picture to stay on to show the characters current state like drunk tired etc?
Are you painting your own images or how to get them?
nice to meet you Echo607, is there a way to have these full body character pictures during battle?
Such as the full body character picture will be displayed, when it is the turn for a character to select command.
Thank you in advance.
Is there any pluggins like this for RPG Maker MZ as well?
can you still use just the heads with the plugin? personally i think Busts are nice, but i wouldnt wanna use them that much, except for introducing new main characters/npcs.
Can this work with sumrdude's blink plug in??

So the full bodies have to get drawn by hand? That'll take a while...
hello~~ may i ask how to make people stop skip the dialogue ? let say..make the characters finish talking til we click to next dialogue
Great vid helped alot!
Can MV have a traditional combat scene during the messages with bust graphics?
I just want to make sure I understood this; the resolution for a full bust sprite is 395X563 pixels. Could this mean that the maximum resolution is about 563X563 or is it genuinely limited to 395X563? I apologize if this is a stupid question.
how you do these characters?
+Christian Lopez Garcia The power of magic and watching too much anime:3
Is it possible to show 2 busts at a single msg box? Like what's shown in @0:20, or did you used a separate plugin for that :o
rip english
You could just use pictures in that case:P
Thanks a bunch, i thought it is possible through the script :)
Kggc
So I got the MZ version and have downloaded its version of the plugin. The part of the process I still can't figure out is after applying the plugin. What's the next part to get the bust to appear?
>making videos at 11:43pm at night
GO TO SLEEP
Hello. I would like to know how large the picture should be in order to be actually seen.
Galv explained it better but thanks a lot!
What plugin do you have that makes that insane lighting happen
Am I the only one who spotted the 'Higurashi is my new video folder' ?
ohhhh so thats how its done. :o
Would you be able to change facesets between texts or is that not a thing? :c
hi there, i want to ask that can i make two characters appear at the same time while they are talking?
how to call 2 bust in same time?
What happens if i wanna use a giant stretched head...?
I'm just lost on a way to create such a large Character picture "Bust" thing...
Hmmm~ "Higurashi is my video folder" nice..
Can you do do this with characters you make in the generator?
I see all these tutorials you have made, bu I've always been curious if you, yourself have made any serious productions?
+MentalWyro Yup. Both are free to play.

Then you just add the face into the message window like normal and it'll swap it out for the bust graphic.
Thank you so much !
i cant draw :(
