UPDATE: Removed the hatched background & improved the colour match. I’ve updated the above image with the new version.



Quick update; I’ve removed the hatched backdrop and reworked the colours. This backdrop was almost invisible due to how RPG Maker interpolates the image for larger screen sizes, but it was opaque enough to affect the final colour of the backdrop. I also took more samples for the gradient. The new version is much closer to FF7′s scheme.

I’m still looking for the right font, however.



ORIGINAL POST:



Made this today, after deciding I really wanted Final Fantasy VII themed dialogue boxes in my RPG Maker MV project, and I thought others might like to use it!



It’s not a perfect replica. RPGMMV will run at varying resolutions, and even using the eye-dropper tool to get the colours, the end result comes out a bit different, but it’s a decent enough facsimile: (old image was here)



It has the slightly bevelled-off corners, and uses the same colour scheme for both the background and the border.

To use it, simply…

Download the image file above Locate your RPG Maker MV project Navigate to the img/system folder Make a safe copy of your “window.png” file which contains the default window-skin Save this new skin as window.png Run your game!

I’m still looking for the correct font, but this should be a good start for anyone who wants this kind of window setup.

This is FREE TO USE in your RPG Maker projects; even commercial ones, though please consider adding “Ethan Fox” to your asset credits.

I’m going to have a few more bits and pieces like this for RPGMMV in the near future, so please follow me here or on Twitter if you don’t want to miss those!
