Demo – Version 1.3 >

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  Galv's Message Background
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  For: RPGMAKER VX ACE
#  Version 1.3
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  2013-04-01 - version 1.2 - added option to disable script in battle
#  2013-02-10 - version 1.1 - dim and transparent settings work with image now
#  2012-12-02 - version 1.0 - release
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  This script displays an image file for a message background instead of using
#  the windowskin. If you are using Galv's Message Busts put this script ABOVE.
#
#  This image background will not stretch to fit, that's not it's purpose.
#  I encourage you to make your own message background images, the ones in the
#  demo are just quick examples!
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  INSTRUCTIONS:
#  Put in script list below Materials and above Main.
#
#  Read the instructions
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#  SCRIPT CALL
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#
#  msgbg("ImageName", y_offset)     # To change message background during game
#                                   # "ImageName" is the new file name to use
#                                   # y_offset is the new IMAGE_Y for that bg
#  EXAMPLE
#  msgbg("MsgImage", -98)
