Ccoas_faces_in_messages

Ccoa's Faces in Messages script:

This script has several things in different places, so bear with me. First of all there is no need to make a new class for this. Now, go to the 'Window_Message' class and press ctrl + a then come back to here, select all of the code below then press ctrl + c. Go back to you Window_Message and make sure all of it is selected and press ctrl + v. This will replace your 'Window_Message' with the one below:

Now, go to you 'Main' class and add this just after the begin command:

#Are we showing a face this time?
$face_showing = nil
$showm = Win32API.new 'user32', 'keybd_event', %w(l l l l), ''

and the adding of the script is done. Now, to be able to use this is tricky. First, find a picture, i'd say 128x128 pixils at the most, and import it into the 'Pictures' folder in the Resource Manager. Remember the name of that picture! Now in an event, to show the picture, put this in a call script function just before the message:

$face_showing = "name of picture"

replace "name of picture" with what ever the picture that you imported's name was and press ok. Now. In order to stop showing the picture, you mus add a new command after the message(s) or else you will get the same picture on a different charecters message. So, once the current character is done speaking, put this in a call script after the message:

$face_showing = nil

That will set the pic showing to none. remember, you must do this for every picture you show in a message. With this script, the text goes over the picture so in the opacity setting while importing, make sure to put it at 100 or less, so that the text will show up.
