Bind Pictures To Map

Galenmereth · 2015-10-24T18:35:43+0900

Introduction Lets you bind the movement of pictures to the movement of the map rather than to the camera, for what is popularly called parallax mapping. Can also be used as additional layer(s) of detail to your normal maps. You can change what “layer” a picture is drawn to, like above or below characters. It even works with looping maps! Before asking for help, please read the documentation page to see if it might already be covered there. That page will be updated over time and always be the most current documentation available for the plugin. Features Bind and unbind pictures shown using the Show Picture command to the map using simple Plugin Commands. You can combine bound pictures and normal mapping just fine to add additional layers of details to your maps. Change the layer of pictures, like below characters but above tiles, below the tilemap but above the scrolling parallax background, and more. See the documentation page. Latest version: 1.0.7 - 2015.11.14 How to use Add the plugin to your game and check the documentation page for help.

Are Events and the Player Character always on the same layer? I need to have a picture show above an Event but below the player. Any workaround for this?

You have to copy and paste the code and save it as a .js file.

notepad or any text editor that does not change the direct content (so don't use a word processor which adds formatting)

You want it in your projects plugin folder. Game/project1/js/plugins...

Or something like that.

Hi there! I'm just new to this plugin system for RPG Maker MV, and it's also my very first first time ever using an RPG Maker. I was wondering if github is the only option for me to download your plugin, because I usually download plug ins from dropbox. Should I copy paste this or something? Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

To All trying to import JS files its very simple to do follow these steps...

Easiest Method (1): You can save the script as a JS by simply right mouse clicking and then click "save as" it will have the name of the script and all place this in a folder of your liking but be sure to place into your projects>JS>plugins if you want to use in your game.

Longer Method (2):

1. Open the script hit Ctrl A, then Ctrl C this will select all and copy everything. (if its not "raw" already there will normally be a link above the script you can click that says ''raw' so click it otherwise you will copy things you dont need and screw up everything)

2. open Notepad and hit ctrl P which will paste in the code.

3. Click Save As and name it something.js , example " bindpicture.js " (pay attention to the js because some may require you to name it specific, I normally scroll to the top of the script and copy whatever they have named.js just to be 100% certain) after you named it, click on the save as type and select all files and then save. and your good to go!

Hope this helps and best of luck!

EDIT: Love the script thanks spoiling us non scripters :)

I saved the file into my game file under plugins, but when i open the plugin manager and see if its in there, I don't see it. What could I be doing wrong?

You sure you put it into the right project folder and have as the right format? Please use snipping tool or screen shot the JS in your folder

Hello, this error happen about 1/5 time.
Would bind to what ? you think what?
This is very strange because sometime, this don't happen !

The console show this

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'setDimensions' of null :/rpg_managers.js:1692
Code:
SceneManager.onError = function(e) { console.error(e.message); console.error(e.filename, e.lineno); try { this.stop(); Graphics.printError('Error', e.message); AudioManager.stopAll(); } catch (e2) { } };
And this is the line error insid your plugin (line 215)
Code:
picture.setDimensions(sourceBitmap);

Hey guys, I'm back.

I made a map and it works fine, its perfect.

But I added one picture to the parallel change process and it basically breaks the map.

It makes it lag so bad, its just one picture and it doesn't move so I have no idea why this happens.

Please help?

We can't help you unless you show us what you did - with a screenshot of the event that adds the picture.

Because most probably you forgot to disable a parallel process here, that is the only thing that can create a lot of lag in a single change.

Heya, sorry, I fixed it by something really silly just now, I ended up changing the speed of the time of the day. It was making the game freak out trying to handle it all, but I've made it comfortable now. :guffaw:

I have created an add-on for the Bind Pictures to Map plugin which offers advanced layer customization.

Bind Pictures to Map - Extra Options v1.0

Example

Spoiler
Let's say that you have a picture you want to place above characters, but below star-marked tiles.

However, the default 'above_characters' option places the picture too high ...

And the default 'below_characters' option is too low ...

With Extra Options you can create a custom layer to suit your needs! A tilemap layer with a z-position of 3.5 will place the picture above characters/events not set to 'above characters', and below star-marked tiles ...
