Freesia Animated Faces is a powerful tool which allows you to add animated faces to your RPG Maker MZ Games, this plugin allows you to add a "Talk" animation for when messages are being typed out, as well as an "Idle" animaton which will play after the message is fully typed out, or when a pause escape character is used.

On top of that, you can specify an unlimited number of animations per each faceset, and call custom animations in the middle of your messages as well! This allows your messages to be much more dynamic and gives greater control over how your cutscenes play out!

Tutorial Here!


FEATURES:

  • Create a "talk" animation, that plays when text is typing.
  • Create an "idle" animation, when message pauses or stops.

Hello, MV user here. I don't know if it's something wrong I'm doing on my end, but whenever I try to use a face animation for one of my characters, there appears to be an afterimage of some kind of they're not staying still. I hope I'm explaining it well enough. If not, I'll give you a visual of what I mean.

Also, the game seem to crash if I have the loop of the animation set to False.

interesting! I apologize, but would it be possible to package this into a small demo project where the issue is replicable? It'd be easiest/safest to share via discord but if you dont have discord you can also send it to my email( found in the plugins contact me section ).

Alright, I joined the Discord server. The only problem is... I haven't used Discord in years, so... I don't know what I'm doing.

please do a quicky video on how to do the escape codes. it doesnt work right in the text box when using dialogue...

My apologies I missed this request, I will see if i can upload a better video ^^; but the faces work with \AF[animation_name] if the animation does not exist, or is spelled incorrectly, it will not display the animation. Capitalization can affect this it's important that the spelling is 100% exactly the same

thanks

this plugin looks important and is updated regularly. I need to buy it! lol

does this require anything special? I have an older copy of MZ for personal reasons. 1.1 I believe. will your plugin work on this?

I cannot currently confirm if it will work on older versions (I am away from PC right now), but if it does not I am more than willing to add support for it! :) I already need to make a small patch for it anyways lol, so if you decide to try it and it doesn't work, just let me know and I'll definitely make it work!~

okay i bought it and learning how to use it now. was wondering how you created your face sheet with one character. if there are images that only contain eyes and other facial features in MZ, i dont know where theyre at. 

I had edited my images from an emote faceset for that specific character, you can actually find similar faces for rtp characters at the rmw forums specifically here! Just look under emoset. and you should find the faces for most actors. :)

thanks, do you have discord?

Hi nekoli!


Did the plugin work for you? Or are you experiencing the same issue as me? (images flickering at the start of every message. I left an example a few messages below). I'm asking to see if the problem is on my end or not xD

I'm still trying to figure out how to make a face sheet ;_;

:o!  :(

I'm sorry... I followed the tutorial on this same page, step by step, and I succeeded! What is it that isn't working for you?

Hey Zerra, I'm afraid I'm unable  too replicate this issue, would it be possible to prrovidfe a sample projject with the issue present in it? :x sorry for the inconvenience D: and sorry for the delay. u_u

Really?? :o That´s strange...! Okay, I'll create a sample project and send you the link as soon as possible. Thank you for your help.

Here´s the link: (I didn't know how to send it to you via private message :P)

Hello! I bought the plugin a few days ago. It works just as shown in the video, very customizable (which is great!), except for one very important aspect: every time I switch from one dialogue to another, the image flickers (as if it were reloading the data). Honestly, this is very annoying and completely disrupts the plugin's functionality... =( I tried it in my project and it didn't work, so I decided to test it in a new RPG Maker MZ project (corescript 1.7), and the same issue occurs. 


Any ideas?

I'll leave a gif of the situation for you...

Thanks for informing me of this issue! I'll do my best to have this fixed before the end of this coming weekend! I apologize if that's a long wait just I'm fairly backed up with work 😞 but I will definitely do my best to resolve this ASAP!

Thank you very much for your prompt response. Don't worry, I understand that you have a lot of work, so whenever you can fix this is fine. The fact that you have replied already reassures me because I know that eventually you'll be able to look into it, and hopefully, fix it =) Looking forward to your updates ;)

Hey Zerra sorry there's too many responses and messages to keep track of xD did you manage to see my last message about your issue?

Yes!! I saw it!!! I managed to solve it by using images with rows of 4 faces, without leaving anything blank. I appreciate your help and willingness a lot; the plugin works very well.
=)

awesome! I am glad I was able to help ^.^ be sure to keep an eye out in the future I have a lot of new plugins coming very soon!!

Awesome!! I'll be on the lookout for what you bring, hehe =)

Busts support would be really amazing! It's the only thing that's really missing from this great plugin. Also, for the idle animation - it would look a lot better if we could chose to have a delay between animations. (Would make blinking more realistic and less flashy)

Busts are hopefully on the way soon! I've just been busy with work, but hopefully I can find some time to get around to creating this feature sooner rather than later. :)

I thought about this, however I felt it'd be more tedious than necessary ^^; to simplify the process I kept it as it is now, it is possible to pad out the blink animation with more frames with eyes open.


Regardless thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely take it all into consideration! ^^ I will definitely be thinking of ways to make blinking more realistic as well!

This is very cool! Does it work with Galv's Message Busts?

(+2)

Bust support will be added when I get the chance, it seems to be a largely requested feature. ^^

Hi, I love the functionality of this plugin! Will there be a future version that can use other sizes of images, please? (e.g. a larger bust than the face image)

Maybe in the future, if there's enough interest in it. For right now though It's not planned.

Wow, Chaucer! It's quite been a while, how are you doing recently?

This plugin is very useful, thank you!

Yeah, I've been busy working on commissions, ^^; I'm trying to get back to more public plugins though. I've honestly been extremely stressed out.. But it'll be fine. Thanks for asking, and I hope your doing well also.

Thanks for the kind words! I hope you find use for this plugin. :)
