Face Sync System Core

Face Sync System Core
Version: 1.0

Introduction

The Face Sync System is perhaps the first of its kind within the RPG Maker community.

Based on a concept by Bethesda Softworks and its lip-file system, Face Sync is a software package that takes the contents of a pre-generated timing data file and then, with that timing, it then displays individual animation cels in concert atop of s designated sprite, whether it is a character sprite on the field map, a character portrait shown within a custom message window, or the like.

The system core covers most of the necessary mechanics, creating the sprites that are rendered, the retrieval of graphics and the timing data, the animation functions, and their removal.



Features

• Includes a Message Adaptation script to allow face sync in message portraits
• Includes a Character Set script to allow face sync on field map sprites

Limitations

• Apparently, only one NPC animation per patch script at any one time. You can show lips syncs occur on a character in the field map and in a message profile pic at the same time, but not two character set sprites on the map at the same time.
• Map Movement may affect the accuracy of the Face Sync animations

Screenshots

You'd literally be watching someone open and close their mouth.

Instructions

Plenty, but in the script



Compatibility

The main core system does not interfere with any content. It requires patch scripts to connect it to suitable message systems (included in the demo).
