Plugging MV #7 Replace Window with a Picture | Lettuce March!

Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/hVVdm5Z 'Plugging MV' is a series where I showcase interesting (community-made) plugins for RPG Maker MV, as I discover them myself, while going through a list of 4000+ plugins. #RPGMaker #Plugin #Cutscene

Plugin: Nasty_Replace_Window_with_Picture.js

This plugin allows us to replace literally ANY window with a picture, using just a plugin command!

(NOTE: For the change to actually show after running the plugin-command, the in-game screen needs to refresh. And so, you can't change the window-picture of a Message Box, dynamically. You will have to use a transfer map command, after running the plugin command, to have the changes show. Hope this makes sense)

HOW TO:

To replace any window with a picture, you need to use the following plugin command template: ChangeWindowPic WindowType PictureName

here, 'ChangeWindowPic' stays the same. 'PictureName' refers to the name of the picture, inside img/pictures folder. And 'WindowType' refers to the type of window you want to replace. Following are all the names of window types/objects that you can replace with a picture:

Example: To replace the message window with a picture named blank.png, the plugin command becomes, ChangeWindowPic Window_Message Blank

(Note: when you run this command, you won't see the change, until you refresh the screen by using the transfer command.)

If you want to get the exact width & height of a particular window, (so you can make a custom picture to replace it,) then go to this plugin's parameter and change Debug Mode to true. Then, run your game, and have the window you want the width-height of, open up in the game (with some event). Then, press F8 (while playtesti ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiySnqIndko
