    Hello, everyone I just want to ask if it's possible to add character mugshot to message box? Supposed I have this picture
    Spoiler:


    Then I want to add the character mugshot above so the message box will look like this:
    Spoiler:


    Is it something possible with Essentials? Is it also possible to add animated mugshot with facial expression as well? (If so, should be the animated pictures in GIF format or PNG?) I tried to find the solution across the internet but finding no clue. Thank you very much and sorry for the problem.

    It's possible, it just requires some amount of coding to look the way you want it.

    First, let me just say that character mugshots are possible to an extent using the built in image display codes \f[] and \ff[]. It's not nearly as elaborate as what you want, but it works.

    As for what you want, I'll point you to the Messages script section. The massive function Kernel.pbMessageDisplay lives there, and it is responsible for displaying the text boxes in Essentials. If you feel like coding it up, I urge you to look through it and see how it loads up, displays, and disposes of extra windows and stuff, and you can probably copy what it does to suit your needs.
