[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/HSzJAf2.jpg[/IMG] Instructions: Download the plugin and paste it in your js folder. Add the plugin in plugin manager just below everything else. Use the features using Notetags or Plugin Command indicated below and in the help file. Introduction: I've been waiting for days and days for someone to actually make a parallax script with several features but can't wait any longer so I've made my own version. If you're familiar with my old script Ultimate Overlay from RMVX and VXAce well I dont need to explain anymore. But for those who are new to RPG Making. Here's a brief introduction for you... Ultimate Overlay Plugin will allow you to add custom images (more layers) into your map that will scroll with the map so it sticks like its really in the map. This is already accessible through the parallax feature if you add ! in the first of the image's filename in the parallax folder. but that limits you to have the overlay one. the one that goes over the character. so Here's Ultimate Overlay comes handy. Layers: Light Layer ↑ Fog Layer ↑ Shadow Layer ↑ Parallax Layer (New) ↑ Character Layer (Default) ↑ Ground Layer ↑ Tileset Layer (Default) ↑ Parallax Layer (Default) Explanation: Light Layer is the highest layer and used for creating Light Effects such as Sunlight Rays, or Street Lights, or any Source of Light. Fog Layer is used for creating a Fog Effect in much that is moving automatically by settings. Used for Mists, Desert Sandstorms, Clouds etc. Shadow Layer used for displaying Shadow layer. Parallax Layer (New) is used for adding an image in the map that will be OVER the character. You can also use this Layer to create shadows for your tiles Character Layer is the layer of your characters, events and npc. etc. Ground Layer like Parallax Layer (new) it is used for creating custom images but UNDER your characters. Tileset Layer (Default) is the layer your tilesets are set on.(Unless they are set as * in priority it will show higher than Ground Layer)) Parallax Layer (Default) is the lowest layer and can only be seen if There's no Tileset Layer above it. and Here's a Sample Fog File: (save in parallaxes folder by default) [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qSPSu75.png[/IMG] Enjoy!! Bush Region: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JKvcZHV.png[/IMG] Fog Depth: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/6HYwMDk.png[/IMG] Displaying Layers: - Use the Notetags in the map ONLY IF you're going to use images based on its mapID to automatically display specific layers. - You don't need to add Notetags if you're going to use the Plugin Command. - The Plugin Command is a Powerful tool. You can use this option anytime to change overlay images in any given situation, with or without notetags. - All in all, There's 2 ways of displaying overlays. 1. Thru Notetags. (Automatically Displays notetagged overlay with the mapID as filename) 2. Thru Parallel Processed Event Plugin Command. You need to specify the filename. It's your choice and they're situational. ^_^ Enjoy Mapping. If you have any questions or suggestion to be added in the plugin feel free to post and ask. I'm happy to help.

Besides those error, what were you doing? please post what you are trying to display, your setups and whatnot ... its hard to determine the cause of the problem with just that.
I just copy the plugin and install on my project... everything is set as default and I havent use any layer, but it doesnt charge

try making a new project and insert the plugin and test it out if it works. something in your plugins is not compatible with mine.

First, I'd like to thank you Kaus for this plugin.

Now I have a suggestion, would it be possible to add fogs and light layers in battle too ? Still using the map notetag to do so.
Kaus

Not possible as of the moment... but i may or may not include it in the future releases.

I am not sure if this is an issue with your script or RPG maker doing weird scaling issues. But consider the following two images:

Photoshop

In Game:

Notice the tree has a "slice" through it.

What have you tried:

- Save the ground and top layer out

- Restart MV

- Start game , still same issue

And:

- Updated your script

- restarted MV

- Re-saved top and bottom layer

- Same issue

Any ideas? I have this issue through out this map where peaces are for sure off. But in photoshop they look fine. A friend of mine said it was because MV potentially does scaling on larger maps? This is 75x125 ....

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it's not the plugin's fault... is that tree a ground layer? or a map chip? have you tried disabling the plugin in and running the game?

Have you tried updating your MV with the latest updates? including the parallax blur fix for PIXI?

Hey, I just installed this plugin, I didn't change anything and it say "ReferenceError defOpacity is not defined",

do we need basic images before using it?

To work in pix? Not inch, not cm - pixels.Nobody knows what Your PS settings is. On screen Your 'par' less then needed by 3 pixels. Maybe you lost it somewhere. Check the size of the image in pixels and check each layer.

Oh, I see a blur.

Do You use KSU_ParallaxSmoothing? You can find it in this pack.

Code:
* And all the overlay images you will use should be inside those folders specific to their layer type.
You should create these images before, then drop it in folders.

#190 Dec 4, 2015, 03:14 PM Source

Yeah but if I don't want any image for a map, then I don't need right?

I found the problem with "defOpacity", it's just because there is no line written "var defOpacity = 0" (Now everything work for me || I've never used .js so maybe i've made a mistake)

Yes to all.

The trunk that you see is on the ground layer. The rest of the tree (above the line) is on the top layer.

I fixed this by moving the trunk piece in photoshop up, such that the shadows were over lapping.

I use a grid of 48x48 pixels

I grabbed that smoothing script and enabled it, saved the game and started it up looks like theres still a blur issue. I placed that script above this script.

My game is updated to the latest and greatest. I seem to still have this blurring issue with this script enabled. I am not sure what to do ...

#192 Dec 4, 2015, 05:31 PM Source

the point of having the parallax smoothing fix is to disable smoothing.

you should set it to false

Kaus, once we have multi-fogs, could it be possible to have different heights for the different fogs? I mean, something like Victor's Fog script from VXA. (Dunno if I missed something and it's already possible with your plugin ^^')
Kaus

#195 Dec 5, 2015, 11:39 AM Source

what do you mean by different heights? im not familiar with victor's fog script in vxa. I was never active during VXA era.

I mean that you can put fogs with different Z heights. E.g.: you want to put some fogs below your tile so it can be like the mist on a cliff and other fog over everything to simulate the clouds. Something likely Valkyrie Stories had:
Kaus

#197 Dec 5, 2015, 01:06 PM Source

the fog in that map is only 1 which is above the characters. the fog in that cliff is parallax and just a still cloud effect which blends with the fog really well
Siul

#198 Dec 5, 2015, 04:39 PM Source

yes, I know, but what Victor's can make the same thing and then you become able to do spectacular things and an effect like the video is really easy to do this way

okay i will think of considering that next update

Update

v1.09 (12.6.15)

-Added New Function: Bush Region. Set your Region ID through the Plugin parameter. Default: 7.

-Added New Function on Plugin command:'addfog'. Now allows to set up the 'Depth' of the Fog so you can display it Below Characters or the Tileset. (See Help File)

New Features:

Did you want your parallax mapping to have bush regions without having to set a graphical tile for it? This will help you set the bush regions in your mapping needs.

Want to display a fog below the character? Sure no Problem, This new function adds an argument to the Plugin command 'addfog' called 'Depth' (Check Help File for more info)

Useful Tip: You can also use the depth to display a water animation below everything else just by setting it up to 255 Opacity and -1 Depth and move it the way you want it. ;)

(For frame by frame animation just set the xMove or yMove to the screen's width and height to make it have the frame by frame effect. which is a lot of work).
