[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.

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?
i started from that - sadly don't work....

as i understand core script (i can be wrong here - understanding of how all this pixi thing works currently beyond my capabilities) - you use existed pixi layer that core script use ?

and terrax created new pixi layer for his plugin - if i am right then core of layer sequence problem probably lies here

Sorry not the type of feature to be included in this kind of plugin. I think you can use Terrax Lightings to have that fog effect. Im not sure tho. check it out

I do not know why with this plugin I get the infinite loading screen, I uninstalled it and everything works again. Maybe I have setup it wrong?
Kaus

#225 Dec 10, 2015, 10:50 PM Source

you get the loading screen stuck up after the title screen or before title screen? maybe its clashing with your other plugins. please follow the guidelines in reporting your bug. read it in the first post.

Thank you Kaus for your answer. I have deleted your plugin and Terrax lighting and Bind picture to map. After that I have reinstalled your plugin and it is working now. I was getting infinite loading screen after menu screen.

Ohh glad that it's working now...

Try putting my plugin below all your other plugins to avoid clashing.

Hello Kaus, just tryed for the first time to put a light and fog (just one) on my first map and suddenly it only shows the parallax and the ground (not fog nor light). I've checked every note, every image name and everything (I guess...). Any clue about this? Thanks in advance

Hey kaus, trying to use this for a water level effect where a lower level is flooded, there are two overlays i am using (addfog command) but it will only show one and using the remove fog command wont erase the upper layer. Also if i have this plugin on, my opening map scene with an autorun event wont run. Any thoughts?
Siul

#233 Dec 14, 2015, 03:37 PM Source

Just wondering if somebody else here can help my case since Kaus seems to be busy. Then, anybody with the same issue about not showing the fog nor the light layer?
solaris1111

#234 Dec 14, 2015, 03:41 PM Source

In the past i test the fog and nothing show up but i didnt put time to figure it out since i dont need it yet in my game. I'll try to test it again soon when i get time. But i think there is something to fix there!

~~1. Screenshot of plugin Parameters;~~

~~2. Screenshot of MAP Settings;~~

~~3. Screenshot with Your Switches Names (play test and push F9);~~

~~3. Screenshot where Your Fog file and Light file is, and their pixel sizes.~~

I tested fogs. Plugin version 1.08.

Fog NOT working with MAP Notes, but it working with "plugin command" in Event. Try to use it for a first time.

(I don't know why and how ot possible, but I tryed to use a 1.03 version... and fog not working there O.O)

I suspect nobody used fog with Map Note since this version?

UPD.

I tested all versions I have:

Fog not working with MAP Note in: v 1.03, v 1.07-v 1.10

Fog WORKING with MAP Note in: v 1.05 and v 1.06.

(I think Kaus just used a different parent plugins for update :) )

The reason that did not work the fog: the help file was missing one line settings - <fogOpacity:number>

If you're going to call multiple fogs, make sure you put [wait 1 frame] for each command to let the plugin process each command at a time.

same goes to addfog

your autorun event at the start might be using the same switches as the overlays please check the parameters if you're using the same switches as your autorun event. this has been answered before if you just read.

v1.01-v1.10 FOG WORKING

you guys clearly dont know how to set up a fog.

<fogName:YOURFILENAMEHERE> (make sure its in the right folder)

<fogOpacity:YOURCHOSENOPACITYHERE>

<fogBlend:YOURBLENDHERE> (OPTIONAL)

<xMove:INPUTNUMBERHERE> (for the x-axis movement)

<yMove:INPUTNUMBERHERE> (for the y-axis movement)

make sure again for the last i will tell you guys to

-check your switches. (default switches of the overlays are: 1,2,3,4)

-check filenames.

-check filepath.

-check the image if its work with additive blend if you're using additive blend.

-check map notetags and make sure you have all the needed map notetags. calling just <fogName> wont work you must call <fogOpacity> as well.

-when using multiple plugin commands put 1 frame waiting in between of each lines. (refer to image above)

Sorry for late replies, I am so busy with my life, I just had my bday celebration for 3 days with my friends, family and colleagues.

and as I said, please follow the guidelines in reporting a bug. few screenshots wont hurt.

0. check help file in subject post

1. check your switches. (default switches of the overlays are: 1,2,3,4)

2. check filenames.

3. check filepath.

4. check the image if its work with additive blend if you're using additive blend.

5. check map notetags and make sure you have all the needed map notetags. calling just <fogName> wont work you must call <fogOpacity> as well.

6. cwhen using multiple plugin commands put 1 frame waiting in between of each lines. (refer to image above)First of all
First af all we need JUST TO SEE this layer withouth any effects!

6 - NO NEED

4 - NO NEED - we do not use blend

3+2 - if it work with plugin command, I think filepath and the filename is correct, right?

5 Wut? Where?

Spoiler

Oh, sorry, I just fogot to copy help file from top subject and past it in plugin.WHY I was so stupid?

You know I so stupid, I "dont know how to set up a fog", i just copy what I see. But I did not saw OPACITY in plugin help because I downloaded it before Today, 02:44 PM.

Maybe just to warn that a help file in plugin may not be complete? Maybe then somebody will know "how to set"? I just offered.

Even if that line was erased. you will see that in my first post it is mentioned thru the tips section to have your fogOpacity Property called. anyway if that solved your problems with the fog map notetags then do you have any other concerns?.

I read the whole thread and couldn`t find one information.

"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))"

I wanted to show some assets of the tileset for reasons and couldn`t find how to move the tileset layer to above the ground layer, what am I missing?
