When engaged in dialouge in a lot of games, the dialogue appears in a box at the bottom of the screen with a little chat arrow thing to a picture of the character speeking, they took this feature out in XP i think it was in 2k3.
I looked all over on the board but cant find a script that adds this feature back in. I even manually went through the entire script database manually. Sorry I cant explain what im talking about better, but i can give you a screen shot of what im talking about, please excuse the content of the dialogue though lol, if you knew what happened previously in the game you would understand, its not as bad as it seems.

I don't recall something like that in RPG Maker 2003 actually...If you are going to show me I would advise you put it through some screenshot or specific feature. :^_^':
Not to be mean or anything, but can't this be Evented? All you need to do is Add a Picture and do a little careful coordination...I don't see how a script can make life much easier...Unless you're going for these pictures to animate while the message moves or something...
Regardless, let's see where it goes. I'm sure this script is useful if it is made (Since people always make things to finish things faster xD).
Yeah it could be evented, but it would take a lot of time(with the number of times it would be switched, and each time a new person spoke, it would have to be switched, agian, and then again to go back, and and i was hoping to switch the image with each new sentence or something like that, it would allow emotion to be portrayed easier.
I was just thinking that someone could script something so that it would be easier to set up and less repetitive. I can live without it clearly ^_^. But if someone has free time on their hands. And it may not have been 2k3 it might have been an earlier version, and the "Screen Shot" isn't really a screen shot, its an image taken from another website on a game i have played before, and i dont think the previous version of rm did it exactly like that. But im sure something similar (maybe just a face pic near the text) was done in rm somewhere.
Dont worry about being mean ^_^, just as long as your not stupid when you do it: "J00 N00b, j00 4r3 70 57uplb 70 lcn0VV |-|0VV!" would be a great example of stupidity.
Actually I think that ccoa's UMS supports something like this.
i made this in events took awile, and i only had 5peopel talking, and each of thme said 2lines, it does take a long time i suggest a script but i dont think it was in 2k3.
Actually it wouldnt be that hard to event.
All you need really is 2 pics per person. One with a closed mouth and one with an open mouth. I could event it for you PM the details if you need it.
i never said 'hard' i said time consuming, iv had one.. i used fire emblem pics
I wasn't referring to what you had said I was saying it on my own behalf.

My point exactly, I was just wondering if it is possible to script something to make it less time consuming, and if so, how difficult would it be to script, and if its not to much would someone be willing?

Blizz is right, you would be able to do something very much like that with ccoa's UMS! I use the UMS all the time, and there are a few ways you could emulate that almost exactly.
I found some, I think:
