First look is really nice:

 

[Bunni89 85]

Damn this looks cool xD Shame I already decided on bust portraits cos this is the nicest looking use of faces! Props on improving something most people neglect, its amazing how much a modified layout can do :3

[Nicke 151]

Thanks, released 1.0a now.

Hi.

I found a bug.

 

 

Nothing bad. Looks cool.

But when I start to talk with this dog again, then happend this:

 

 

 

Im using two of your last's scripts: core-script and message-script.

 

Im apologize for my bad enlglish.

[Nate The Great 10]

Well thank you Cris. Without that bug report I wouldn't have seen this script. Beautiful work niclas!

[Nicke 151]

Ah yeah, I have fixed that bug now and a few others. Released 1.0b. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I am getting an Error at Line 249.

# // Method to return variable value if conditions met.

  when :skin			; return "Window"

 

 

 

Edit~

I seem to got it working kind of.

I just can't change the font, or colors, or the outline.

 

 

~Edit #2

It doesn't seem to be compatible with Yanfly's Victory Aftermath.

I guess I can't use this script.

[Choco-Elliot Wyvern 25]

All of your scripts look so AMAZING!!

 

I'm so gonna use it

[yobuko 0]

Is this script still available?

[Sirius 2]

I'd like to think so, but the link is dead.

There's an alternate link to a different website also of his,

but I won't post it without his permission as he might be reserving certain scripts.

[Nicke 151]

Fixed the problems with the images and the links.

I dont understand this Script 

 

No matter how i edit the Script, i only get this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Could you post the Scripts to get the Boxes like in your Screenshots?

 

Thanks ^^

[PyromancerVx 1]

Some sort of a demo that would explain better how to use this would be nice.

[Candacis 0]

I have the same problem like ShockBuddy. No matter what value I set up for the variables, it looks exactly like the screenshot ShockBuddy posted. I would like it to look like the first screenshot you posted, Nicke, but I can't seem to get it right.

[Titan_12 1]

Do you have a demo for this?

[TheWhiteRose000 4]

honestly I would love to use this one my only problem is your core script is a resource hod and makes my world stutter.

[Zoren 1]

can u make this pop over the event automatically, its a pain trying to do that, maybe fix it abit like how hanzo's was in Valkyrie stories. I tried using this but its far too confusing and complicated to keep doing over per char but I still like it but just make it more simple 

[YamiKitsune 23]

Excuse me, but the link leads me to a page that "Doesn't exist" or is "out of date" apparently.

Links work for me fine.

There are just broken BBcodes.

[YamiKitsune 23]

Is there anyway you could somehow tell me how you got it to work?

[Rikifive 3,411]

Just remove the broken BBcodes (the URLs, '[', ']' etc.), here you have fixed links:
CORE + MESSAGE

Thank you so much for your help. /)

 

EDIT: A couple of problems though... This script kind of causes an issue with Yanfly's "Battle Engine ACE" script and Yanfly's "Victory Aftermath" script.

 

As you can see above, the window that's usually behind the actor portraits is not there anymore.. It only happens when I have a battle that has dialogue in it, but still.

 

As for this one, the portraits are missing from the box. And the message appears up top. When it should appear at the bottom. (So actually 3 problems.)

 

So could someone help me with this? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Edited August 24, 2015 by YamiKitsune

[Rikifive 3,411]

Incompatibility isn't that easy to fix, but first try moving these scripts up & down (above / below Yanfly's) as it might be method overwriting (?) or something, though I'm not sure.

If that will not help, then it will be actually kinda hard to fix...
