Version History
- <Version 1.2b> 12.05.2009 - Very small oversight fixed - if you have been experiencing lag with this script, it might be a good idea to get this new version. There is no functional difference however.
- <Version 1.2> 05.29.2009 - Number of Changes, including an easy wrapper for changing base graphics for actors, as well as a away to set priority for charsets, thus allowing for greater customizability
- <Version 1.0> 07.05.2008 - Original Release
Description
This script allows you to create character sets from multiple character sheets, layering them on top of each other. It also allows you to set character graphics to armors and weapons, and these character sets will be layered on top of the character, thus making it a Visual Equipment script as well.
Features
- Easy configuration
- Hundreds of unique characters can be made from a limited set of resources.
- Allows you to set hue for character sheets, meaning each resource can have hundreds of distinct colours.
- Allows any weapon or armor to have any number of character sets stacked onto the character upon equip.
- Events and Actors can also be set up so that they are composed of multiple character sets
- Can set a priority for graphics, thus allowing you to determine what graphics should be drawn first
- Can change base graphics for the actor with script calls

Code: [Select]
#==============================================================================
# Composite Characters / Visual Equipment
# Version 1.2b
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: December 5, 2009
# Original Release Date: July 5, 2008
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Instructions:
#
# Place this script in between Materials and Main in the Script Editor
#
# Basically, to work this script you need to do two things. 1) Setup your
# actors default character sets - you will see a full set of instructions at
# line xx. Now, to set a graphic for an armor or weapon, all you need to do
# is place this code in the Notes box of the item:
#
# \CG[<Name of Character Set>, <index in character set>, <hue>, <z>]
#
# If you leave out index, it defaults to 0 and if you leave out hue, it also
# defaults to 0. You can put more than one graphic to an armor or weapon and
# they will stack by priority (z). Things with lower priority are drawn first.
#
# Setting up an Event is similar - all you need to do is place a comment at
# the very beginning of the event and put in the same code to generate a
# composite character set for the event. Same rules apply, and remember, you
# can stack character sets.
#
# EXAMPLES:
# \cg[Actor1, 2] # Character Set = Actor1 : index = 2 : hue = 0 : z = 0
# \CG[Evil] # Character Set = Evil : index = 0 : hue = 0 : z = 0
# \cG[Actor2, 3, 50, 2] # Character Set = Actor2 : index = 3 : hue = 50 : z = 2
#
# You can now remove and add graphics to the actor using the following codes
# in a script call:
#
# remove_graphic_from_actor (actor_id, index)
# remove_graphic_from_actor (actor_id, graphic_name, graphic_index, graphic_hue)
# add_graphic_to_actor (actor_id, graphic_name, graphic_index, graphic_hue, index)
#
# where:
# actor_id : the ID of the actor whose graphic you are changing
# index : the index of the graphic in the actor's composite_character
# graphic_name : the name of the character set
# graphic_index : the index of the character file in the set
# graphic_hue : the hue of the graphic
#
# Also, the Change Actor Graphic event command now adds character sets to
# the current set. You can clear an actor's character set with the code:
#
# clear_character_graphic (actor_id)
#++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
# Compatibility:
#
# Unfortunately, I did need to overwrite some methods for this script, and
# as such there are likely to be compatibility problems. I know that my
# Extra Movement Frames Script certainly will not work with this script, and
# any script that tampers with the way a character set is drawn will also
# likely encounter problems. Now, this is not to say that any script that
# draws a character set will be incompatible - as long as that scripter uses
# the draw_actor_graphic method of Window_Base it should work fine - it is
# only scripts that change the way a character set is drawn that will cause
# problems. Also, I tamper with the load_gamedata method of Window_SaveFile,
# and so if another script overwrites that then there will again be
# compatibility issues. If you find a script that seems to cause problems,
# please post at the topic at rmrk.net and I will try my best to assist you.
#
# Diedrupo's Caterpillar Script does not work immediately. A fix is posted
# in this script's topic at rmrk.net.
# Tankentai Sideview Battle System will not use composite character sprites
# without a fix. That fix is also posted in this script's topic at rmrk.net

Known Compatibility Issues
Any scripts that play around with the way character sets are drawn will undoubtedly have some problems with this script. If you encounter any problems, please post the error and the script that is causing the problem and I will see if I can make them compatible.
Does not work with Dash Animation
Does not work with Extra Movement Frames
It ought to work with KGC Equip Extension
Spoiler for Composite Characters + Grid Inventory Compatibility Patch:
Does not work with Diedrupo's Caterpillar script, but the fix is easy:
Spoiler for Fix:
It does not work with Tankentai Sideview Battle System. Please see this post (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,28124.msg403285.html#msg403285) for a compatibility fix for Version 3.3a. It will not work with animated battlers, but should draw regular sprites accurately if you are using them in battle.
In Shopoholic, it will not draw the composite character in Window_Shop_Details.
Spoiler for Fix:
Demo
See Attached for a technical demo. There is not much to it - it is solely so that you can look through and see how events, items, etc are set up.

P.S.: I found out how to do it ^_^
(http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/tool/chibi/image/ym/body/1_red.png) ect.
But another question... (sorry XD)
I have armour, and it's graphics are for Males.
I want this armour to be only usable by males because the clothing looks pretty messed up on a girl sprite :-\
Do you know any way to achieve this?
Post by: modern algebra on August 23, 2008, 11:14:13 AM
So, if you have a Paladin class that both a man and woman can have, then make two Paladin classes in the Database - one who wears male armour and one who wears female armour.
Post by: Jensen on November 11, 2008, 05:13:48 PM
I´m testing it out right now and have a question. Is this compatible with Equip Extension by KGC?
Because when I try it out it doesn´t work, but when I remove the KGC script it works fine.
The problem is that with the Equip Extension it gives no error, the visual equipment just isn´t ... well, visual.
Composite_Character works, though.
It would be so nice if theese two scripts would work together!
Good job!

But, I too would like to use both this and KGC's Equip Extension... I have the two scripts attached to this post.
Thanks,

#==============================================================================
# Composite Characters / Visual Equipment
# Version 1.0 (KGC COMPATIBLE VERSION)
# Author: modern algebra (rmrk.net)
# Date: July 5, 2008
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Instructions:
#
# Place this script in between Materials and Main in the Script Editor
#
# To set a graphic for an armor or weapon, all you need to do is place this
# code in the Notes box of the item:
#
# \CG[<Name of Character Set>, <index in character set>, <hue>]
#
# If you leave out index, it defaults to 0 and if you leave out hue, it also
# defaults to 0. You can put more than one graphic to an armor or weapon and
# they will stack, first one on bottom last one on top.
#
# Setting up an Event is similar - all you need to do is place a comment at
# the very beginning of the event and put in the same code to generate a
# composite character set for the event. Same rules apply, and remember, you
# can stack character sets.
#
# EXAMPLES:
# \cg[Actor1, 2] # Character Set = Actor1 : index = 2 : hue = 0
# \CG[Evil] # Character Set = Evil : index = 0 : hue = 0
# \cG[Actor2, 3, 50] # Character Set = Actor2 : index = 3 : hue = 50
#
# Setting up your Actors is similar - see line 151 for details.
#~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Compatibility:
#
# Unfortunately, I did need to overwrite some methods for this script, and
# as such there are likely to be compatibility problems. I know that my
# Extra Movement Frames Script certainly will not work with this script, and
# any script that tampers with the way a character set is drawn will also
# likely encounter problems. Now, this is not to say that any script that
# draws a character set will be incompatible - as long as that scripter uses
# the draw_actor_graphic method of Window_Base it should work fine - it is
# only scripts that change the way a character set is drawn that will cause
# problems. Also, I tamper with the load_gamedata method of Window_SaveFile,
# and so if another script overwrites that then there will again be
# compatibility issues. If you find a script that seems to cause problems,
# please post at the topic at rmrk.net and I will try my best to assist you.

Thanks.
Post by: modern algebra on March 13, 2009, 02:24:33 PM
Anyway, here, I prepared a fix. The way it works is that the command adds the newly set graphic to the character (I assume, since you are allowing the character to be designed, this is what you want - so if you have a body as the default character graphic, then using this command on say, a hair sprite will give him hair; you could then use it again and it would add another feature, etc...), and then I implemented another command that will clear away all other graphics for when you want to change the thing entirely. If you use the script vent command and type in:
clear_character_graphic (actor_id) - it will clear away all graphics except the one last added.

I was wondering if you could make some adjustments to the script. Say, for example, I equiped an iron plate. Then it would show my character graphic changed and is now wearing armor. I'm sure with your crazy awsomeness you could find a way to do this :o

Can you post the resource 5_Yellow. So the actual picture you're using?That's it. I just copied that from the website. It also flashes the green man when I don't have anything equiped =/
Post by: modern algebra on April 18, 2009, 10:49:55 PM
The green man is likely being flashed because of the settings in the script. Go to this part of the script:

And you made the change suggested here? http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,28124.msg397508.html#msg397508I made that change to, but it doesn't work. The character just stays the same.
Post by: modern algebra on April 19, 2009, 06:31:20 PM
\cg[$5_yellow, 1]
the 1 is wrong. It should be 0, or left blank.
So:
\cg[$5_yellow]
or
\cg-$5_yellow, 0]
is what you need to do.
Post by: slayerofman on April 23, 2009, 11:54:00 PM
Example:
My game has an alignment system. I'd like it to change the player's appearance based on their alignment. If their alignment is more toward "evil", it should be darker... More "good" = brighter, etc. So if a player steals from/kills a merchant their alignment will change, therein changing their appearance(hue or otherwise).
If there's any way you could help with this, I'd be super appreciative.
Post by: modern algebra on April 24, 2009, 12:07:16 AM
Code: [Select]
# \CG[<Name of Character Set>, <index in character set>, <hue>]I don't have anything where the graphic can be a gradient based on a variable, but you could easily enough just replace it manually.
Post by: slayerofman on April 24, 2009, 01:15:35 AM
Unfortunately, my scripting abilities are nil... If there is a way to describe how to "replace it manually," that would be super helpful.
I attempted to change the 720 in following code to a variable with a few methods, all of which ending in failure:
when 1 # 1st Actor
# Create Hair Sprite
@composite_character.push (['VisEquipSample', 1, 720])
Is this not the correct method? Or am i on the wrong path entirely?
Post by: begin2manga on April 28, 2009, 02:28:53 PM
Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about. It now works the way I outlined in the previous post.I am a beginner and still don't get it. :-\ Can you make a demo or something so it would be easier to set it up. Maybe plug'n'play ? ??? Please ... I hope you help me... Anyways thank you, for the many handy scripts you've made. :)
P.S. I tried to set it up by myself, but I got an error message:
''Unable to find file Graphics/Character/VisEuipSample''
P.S. (2) XD ;8 Do you like my mapping?
Post by: modern algebra on April 28, 2009, 05:00:52 PM
Anyway, there is a demo. It's attached to the first post. The error you are getting is because you haven't a) grabbed the VisEquipSample graphic, which you don't actually need or want. But you need to change the graphics that are set up in the initial script. Just go down until you see the

1: Where do I go to get rid of the hair-do on the player character from your demo.
2: Why doesn't my individual character sheets show up when I equip the items? (I have the comments like this in the notes box "\cg[$Helm_plate1]") I have not yet used your modification up somewhere for the use of the "$" symbol, so I'm about to try that and see if that fixes it. ~Edit: Nope that didn't work. My character remains blank. I also tried in the notes box "\cg[$Helm_plate1, 0]" just in case. Still nothing though.
Post by: modern algebra on May 04, 2009, 02:45:39 AM
And yeah, you need that patch. But I thought I had integrated it.

~Did you talk to the old dude and get all the items to try? Because I definitely can't get them to appear.
~Edit: I got it to work finally. ._.
I had to replace that one line of code with:
Code: [Select]
while text.sub! (/\\cg\[([^,\]]+),*\s*(\d*),*\s*(\d*)\]/i) { '' } != nilWHICH, I already did, HOWEVER, there's 2 places that line is used. I only replaced one of them. I stumbled upon the second line and replaced it and it worked. That was troubling! :D Thanks for your help, MA.

i guess it may help if you know my prob. I am using this (http://www.hbgames.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=56154 (http://www.hbgames.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=56154)) battle system, and it places the character sprite on the HUD. Problem is it seems to pull the char sprite from the data base(which is a naked/bald template), whereas i need it to pull from the composite script.
any idea on how to sync them up? I can send a blank proj file loaded with both scripts if you want...

Because in my game, they get to choose their gender, and I don't get how to change their hair from what's in the database.
I was thinking I could also make different actors with different hair bases or just make the character base with hair already.
But I still want to know if or how you can change the hair through an event or something.
Because I tried using the editable region in the script and putting it in the event, and I get a syntax error.
(Sorry, I don't know alot about RMVX scripts.)

Sorry to bother you but what would be the code to add hair to a character like suggested in the post above, I've been looking through the codes and the posts for the last 3hours and can't seem to find it.

Yeah, Just know the index and you can do this:
Code: [Select]
actor = $game_actors[x]
cc = actor.composite_character
cc.delete_at (y)
cc.insert (y, ['graphic_name', index, hue])
$game_player.refreshwhere x is the actor ID and y is the index of the hair sprite. I split it up so much so that you can use it in a call script. If it extends over more than one line, the you can split it up more by setting variables to the elements of the array. So, something like this would work, as an example:
Code: [Select]
actor = $game_actors[3]
cc = actor.composite_character
cc.delete_at (1)
n = 'VisEquipSample'
cc.insert (1, [n, 5, 0])
$game_player.refresh@Ekuell:
Yeah, I did it for someone else. I don't remember where that got off too though. Send me the project or a blank project and I'll fix it up for you. I just need to change the Cache.character calls to Cache.composite_character and pass the character array.

It's more or less a find and replace operation, which is easy, but you don't know the syntax required.
EDIT::
I looked around on my comp and found this. It might be the compatibility fix I did for the other guy, I'm not sure. In any case, you'd replace the Sideview 1 (3.3a) entry with this. Try it in a separate project, so as to avoid corrupting your real project. Obviously, it will only work with regular sprites. And no, I'm not going to make it work with those animated battler sheets.

I figured out how to change cache.character but how do you pass the character array?
Post by: modern algebra on May 29, 2009, 01:26:31 AM
As for what to pass, it depends on the method. In some methods it would be @battler.composite_character, but it's different for what methods and in what classes, etc... Better to let me do it. Did replacing Sideview Battle 1 (3.3a) entry with the code in the txt document not work?

What do you mean by Index, and how come the example is different than the code?
Post by: modern algebra on June 04, 2009, 04:06:10 AM
Code: [Select]
# remove_graphic_from_actor (actor_id, index)
# remove_graphic_from_actor (actor_id, graphic_name, graphic_index, graphic_hue)
# add_graphic_to_actor (actor_id, graphic_name, graphic_index, graphic_hue, index)There are more details in the Instructions of the script, and an event in the demo does it so you can take a look at that.
And index is the index of the character in the character set. Note that there are eight in character sheets, index identifies which of those characters is to be used. It goes:
0 1 2 3
4 5 6 7

Sorry, I didn't see this post before. That's because of a patch someone had requsted that changes the "Change Actor Graphic" command to one that adds files to the character, rather than resets it. If you want to change the graphic completely, just put a Script command before it that has:

# \CG[filename, index, hue, priority] # Character Set = Actor2 : index = 3 : hue = 50 : z = 2
If you set the priority to less than 0 it will show up behind the character. Alternatively you could edit the file itself, which you might have to do anyway since you need the priority of the wings to be greater when walking up, so you might have to split the graphic into two files.

Um, try making the z of the hair something higher, like 1, or 5.How would i do that useing the script? Seeing how n is the name and h is for color.
Would i just.....
n = "$WhiteBedHead"
add_graphic_to_actor (1, n, 0, z, 1)

Code: [Select]
add_graphic_to_actor (actor_id, char_name, char_index, char_hue, z)
I think is the order, so:
Code: [Select]
n = "$WhiteBedHead"
add_graphic_to_actor (1, n, 0, 0, 1)
might do the trick. I don't know though - I don't really remember this script.

I'm working on a kind free roam game like dragon quest 9 using Tankentai because I make a timed hit battle system addon with the Atb which is great. But in all great free roam games you need to have cloth and customizable options and your script works great until you use the battle system. Could you please make it compatible so I can use your cool script.
P.s I did try the 3.3a and it also didn't work.

Post by: Lytanathan on November 10, 2010, 10:58:43 PM
Would it be possible to modify the script so that you can use the priority setting to customize that order instead?
For example,
If Character A was wearing Small Gloves and a Huge Baggy Robe, then it would make sense for the gloves to be drawn first, with the robe on top. But if Character B was wearing Mega Gauntlets and a Long-sleeved Shirt, it would be better for the shirt to be drawn first, with the gauntlets on top.
I initially thought this was how the priority setting worked, but after testing it and having my characters equipment drawn in a totally wrong order, I realized that I must have misunderstood the instructions.
I have an idea as to how to make this work, only I don't understand the language well enough to actually modify the script myself. Trying to read the character_graphic method of RPG::Base_Item only succeeded in giving me a headache, and that is one of the methods I'd need to change.

Every time I try to change something in the code, something else goes wrong. Now the hairstyles are stacking on top of each other even though I put a script call to remove the previous style, in addition to the previous problem.
EDIT:
To cycle between styles, use left or right. To switch between hair and clothing, press up or down. All articles start on the left so you should start cycling right.
Post by: RPGManiac on November 23, 2010, 09:23:00 PM
I fixed it. It's weird and I don't understand why, but it works perfectly now. Apparently I have to run both common events that handle the clothing and hair one right after another so that the game checks both.

Ok, my question was asked by some one else, but not responded to...
My question: How do I remove a hair style from the hero when I equip a helm?
More to the point, I need to remove it from the (note) field on the helm, until the helm is unequipped. I have studied this code and this form for months, and all my attempts led me to think the script doesn't support the (note) field to remove graphics. I don't want to clear all of it, just the hair until the helm is removed. Any ideas would be of great help? :-\
# You can now remove and add graphics to the actor using the following codes
# in a script call:
#
# remove_graphic_from_actor (actor_id, index)
# remove_graphic_from_actor (actor_id, graphic_name, graphic_index, graphic_hue)
# add_graphic_to_actor (actor_id, graphic_name, graphic_index, graphic_hue, index)
I also think its odd that the last remove code is an add code, is this a typo?

I really don't know what you mean - all the relevant instructions are in the header of the script and I really don't know how I could explain it any better in such a general way. There's also a demo which (I think) demonstrates every feature of the script. If maybe you have a more specific and focussed question about what you don't understand about the instructions or the demo, then I can clarify. But as it is, I have already explained the general aspects of the script to the best of my ability inside the script and demo and I don't know how to improve on that without knowing where you are having difficulty.

im using the kaduki SBS. so it would be nice to be my $actor_idle, $actor_walk, $actor_run just have the Headgears in map.
and for my $actor_idle_1(for battle scene) should be like this.
i want to make my $actor_idle_1 graphic to be the 1st layer
2nd layer is for my weapon graphic, 3rd layer is my shield graphic, if two handed also in 2nd layer,
then 4th layer is for my head gear low, 5th layer for my headgear mid, 6th layer is for my head gear top..

EDIT: I just realized I don't need this anymore :( It probably won't work when I use the animation frames with Tankentai SBS ATB D: They extra frames make the game more awesome

As far as I know, the only edits I made after that are compatibility patches, meaning that they are only relevant if you have the conflicting script. As far as I know, all of the compatibility patches I made are listed in the "Known Compatibility Issues" of the first post, so just see if you have any of those scripts and, if so, grab the corresponding patch.

On the other hand, I'm using the Extra Movement Frames script and it's a shame that they're not compatible.
Is there any chance of a compatibility patch in the future?

Script 'Equip' line 480: NoMethodError occured
undefined method 'Composite_Character' for "Actor 3":String
The only Other Scripts I Am Running Are 'Requiem ABS 9' and 'Dargor Map Name Popup'
and, of course the rtp scripts.
If Anyone can fix this, thank you.

Is it possible to edit this script just so that not only the sprite but also the face is edited.
I'm in need of something like a character creation in the beginning of my game.
There are three races to the main face would be one of these three depending on the choice they made, also male or female. So the bases would have been chosen because of that. But I'd love to let my players choose their hair style and colour, eye style and colour, markings and accessories, something like the RMVXA character generator but then inside the VX game.
I would want to use some face-sets for different hairstyles, eye-styles, etc. depending on male/female, and the same for the hairstyles and eye-colour on sprite-bases.
If you would even consider thinking about taking this question/request about this script and changing it so that that too is made possible, I'd be very, very, very grateful.
Oh, and I love most of the scripts you made, they are all very compatible with all of the others I use.

Edit: I was hesitant to use a parallel common event for what I needed, but apparently it's not going to lag the game like I thought it would. Yay!
