Do not repost in other forum without my permission. 2.) Free for Non-Commercial and Commercial Uses but Credits is Required. Click to expand... [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.

Yea I am deeply in need of that feature that's why i ended up making one. I hope you like it ^_^

TIPS: You can also use the Multilayer Fog to display extra layers in the map such as extra light layers or par layers, just set the right settings for it to display properly :) Now you don't have to ask for another layer.

Hi Kaus, I'm really blocked with this issue and I'm not sure how to solve It. Since I'm using your script and you are and awesome mapper, I would like to know if you know how to solve it.

NOTE:I'm using quasimovement and there is collision in all the examples if i put collision to solve the problem I will lost the paralax thing here(not sure If im explaining myself properly).

Is there a way to change the layer order relative to position of the player. Sorry maybe its supereasy solution but I'm blocked.

Thanks in advance,
Kaus

#205 Dec 7, 2015, 11:14 PM Source

The thing about that is make sure you give allowance of pixels to your impassable tiles so that you cannot encounter that problem. I dont use Quasi so i dont know how to solve that. maybe something with the hitbox thingy you have to set up. maybe just dont let them too close to the objects to avoid that Star Priority problem.

Have you tried asking for help in Quasi's thread instead?

Thanks for the answer, I know how to use the quasi(not an expert but i know how it works). I know is the hitbox but I was asking if it was possible to use your layer system so we can play with the depth. I will keep searching thanks ;)

Hi Kaus ..

I really like your plugin and I use it always ..

but, I don't know if someone have the same problem as me or not ..

you see in this 2 pic

I start a new project with only your plugin without any other plugin in a small map

I put 2 spirit ( s1 & s2) and i create an event..

the first s1 i create 2 event page..

the first page i put random character then in second page i make it blank with take switch on ..

the s2 i just put that command switch to on if i talk to the person ..

but when i start to play .. the s1 event gone ??

when i put your plugin off or deleted .. i can create the same event with no problem ..

please kaus solve this one I really need your plugin ^_^

note : Iam using the last version 1.09 ( sorry for my bad English)
Kaus

#208 Dec 8, 2015, 07:32 AM Source

That is so basic. If you had the time to read the full help file. It gives you the idea that the Switch ID 1-4 is by default set for displaying layers

The ID you used for the event to disappear is pre-used for Fog Switch ID

You have Quick Start set to true by default.

that's why that event is not appearing by the start of the game because the switches is automatically on

Oh I see ( my bad ) .. thank you very much Kaus

I am new to RPG maker I actually thought the switch is for command calling or something ..

now if I switch off the id switches .. this well affect on what piratically ??
Kaus

#210 Dec 8, 2015, 07:44 AM Source

you have a lot of choices...

either set the overlay switch to different ids

or move your other switches to different ids.

just make sure to keep the 4 overlay switches reserved for their purpose only.

#211 Dec 8, 2015, 07:54 AM Source

again thank you for your helping

I just change the id switches and name it ^_^

keep the good work

You're welcome.

As Requested I found a way not to loop the layers (added in v1.10):

I saw a similar question on here, but I think mine is a little different - When I changed the resolution of my game to a wide-screen format, the images started tiling because the visible area was wider than the maps themselves. I understand I can fix this by adjusting the map and image size to be at least as wide as the visible area, but I'd like to avoid that in the interest of minimizing file size. Is there any way to get them to not tile?

Example:

Spoiler

Spoiler

Update:

v1.10 Recoded (12.8.15)

-Fixed a bug where if you choose to start without QuickStart gives you the error 'DefOpacity is not Defined'

-Fixed a bug where if you try switching off quickstart id and go to next map automatically turns it back on. Now Aliased New Game to QuickStart switches instead on Map Loading.

-Ground, Par, Light and Shadow redefined as non-loopable image. This way you can have your images as is and it will not loop if the map extends bigger than the overlay image.

-Performance Improvement. If you were experiencing lags due to amount of displayed layers.

Nice updates :) Especially Fog depth will be something im going to play around with.

But i don't really get what bush region is doing, both screens look the same, i dont see the difference

sorry i am not to strong in scripting especially in specific areas like pixi
question is - is there a way to move pixi layer below any layers in your plugin?

If you just look closely, you will notice the difference... You will actually understand its function if you're familiar in the previous RMs.

Left: No Bush Region

Right: Bush Region

It gives you the effect that your character is walking on the bushes/grass with a slight transparency to the lower body. (It's automatically set up on tilesets grasses but not in parallaxing)

Hope that clears your wonders about Bush Regions.

Depends on what specific layer we are talking about?

specifically i want to put pixi layer below your light layer.

i tried to play with terrax plugin for example (its use pixi), but cant figure how to control its z index - cant find any reference to z index in pixi layer at all

#217 Dec 8, 2015, 01:42 PM Source

it depends on the who you add to the scene first. (addChild) the last one you call addChild will be on the top. in my plugin its inside (this._tilemap.addChild()) that's why it has z indexing. what are you trying to add btw?

movable light sources

i tried modified terrax lights for that - but it overlap light map with color of his light sources and i trying to fix that.

currently i am trying to bland light images directly into his plugin as a tint bitmap but well.... my scripting capabilities far from perfect.

If you're talking about terrax i have the supported images added in layers there maybe you can play along with the arrangement of adding child in the map there...

take a look at this part of the javascript: (maybe by moving the terrax layer below?
