[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.

There seems to be some incompatibility with this and the VPS Dynamic Weather mod https://soulxregalia.wordpress.com/2015/11/30/rmv-vps-dynamic-weather-system/

If I turn the dynamic weather on, then fog doesn't work. Light works fine, but fog doesn't.

As soon as I turn the dynamic weather plugin off, the fog works wonders. I tried moving them around to see if it would fix it but nothing yet.

I'm not sure if you can figure a way to make them compatible, but if you can't that's fine, I will gladly stick with your plugin over the weather, but I would rather have both.

Sorry i wont be fixing compatibility issue with that script.

There's an incompatibility between your script and Time System by Moghunter

If I use Time system, parallax layer doesn't show.

If I turn OFF Time system Plugin, all works.

(look water.. and me)

Have you tried changing the load order of the two plugins? In many cases a simple change in the order of plugins will fix compatibility issues. If the time system plugin is below this plugin put it above the plugin instead.

To do this: right click on the plugin and click copy then clear, then right click on Kaus' plugin, click paste, and it will put the time system plugin above it.

Yes, I know how to do this and how I have to move between plugin/script (I use VxAce since 2011) and it's the first thing that I've done, but it doesn't work yet.

Even if I turn OFF all other plugins it doesn't work! So, I'm sure that the problem is an incompatibility between Kaus and Mog plugins :)

There's an obvious incompatibility with any Movement based plugins unfortunately. I tried to make this script work with Quasi's Movement plugin with Collision Mapping and it becomes an impossible mess of visual issues where the character will clip with the parallax image and after mingling with Photoshop trying to find a solution, I see nothing I can do to fix it.

But no worries. I'm choosing your parallax mapping plugin over Quasi's movement plugin.

If anyone knows a solution to having both parallax mapping AND pixel to pixel movement, I'd really like to know because I've got not a clue how to make it work.

Hi Kaus, is Fog during battle still a planned feature?

I found a very strange bug. For some reason this plugin flips all of my self switches as soon as I enter an area. I turned off all of my other addons, so I am certain that this one is the problem. It's a shame, I was really looking forward to using this one.

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it in the settings. Set Quick Start to false.

Do you know of a lighting program that is compatible with Ultimate Overlay? I was using Terrax Lighting before for mobile lanterns and glowing creatures, but it doesn't seem to be compatible with UO. I need parallax mapping more than I need mobile lighting so I will likely have to drop Terrax, but it would still be nice if I could make it work.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Here is how you can fix it. Quoted from Terrax himself:

I'm not sure the effect of both scripts together is good, but you can have clouds and fog outside from kaus script

and darkness inside dungeons from my script.

If you want both scripts to work together, this is how you can fix it..

- Make sure Terrax Lighting script is loaded before Kau's overlay (put it above Kau's in the plugin manager)

- Take an text editor and add one line to Kau's script in the first routine you find.

Spriteset_Map.prototype.createLowerLayer = function() {
    Spriteset_Base.prototype.createLowerLayer.call(this);
    map = $dataMap;
    this.createParallax();
    this.createTilemap();
    if(map.meta.ground || map.meta.all) this.createGroundMap();
    this.createCharacters();
    if(map.meta.par || map.meta.all) this.createParMap();
    if(map.meta.fogName) this.createFogMap();
    if(map.meta.light || map.meta.all) this.createLightMap();
    this.createShadow();
    this.createDestination();
    this.createLightmask();              // <----- ADD THIS LINE
    this.createWeather();
};

That's all there is to it.

Yes. But not so soon.

Since I have NO artistic talent are there any existing parallaxes I can use or will that not work?

No you have to do that by yourself

I'm still going to make a full demo so everyone who is not familiar with the functionalities can see a demo of displaying the layers.

Cheers for your amazing plugin, Kaus. I have only one issue when using the bush regions: this is a really nice option and basically it works fine except when I have the Quasi Movement plugin on. Then the bush regions don't work. Is there a possibility to make this compatible?
Kaus

#274 Mar 6, 2016, 12:12 PM Source

the whole plugin is not compatible with quasi movement and its been reported a few times already. maybe that plugin overwrites the functions from this plugin and I have no plans on making it compatible. sorry.

Actually your plugin works fine for me with Quasi movement (except that bush thing). Thanks for the reply anyway. I found another way with just using the normal tiles (which can't be seen in the game) and setting them as a bush.

Something else though which I just posted in the Terrax Lighting forum: Is there a way you could make a layer that would block out the light of Terrax?
Kaus

#276 Mar 7, 2016, 12:30 AM Source

the answer is simply yes there could be a way. I'm in no condition of finding it out tho. I'm not using terrax lighting in my game that's why i have no idea what it's all about. i just included a compatibility so that people who uses terrax will be able to use my overlay plugin as well and as many requested it compatible. if that is some extra feature terrax added im sorry i have no plans on making another fix to that plugin xD but all is not final i may or may not do it in the future(If i ever use terrax plugin in my game).

I create a map with this plugin and it worked well, but when I try to make an event (with the picture) on a position where parallax(new) layer is, the picture of event is like covered/below by the parallax layer. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Hey Kaus,

First of all awesome plugin

I wanted to ask you if you are encountering a heavy memory leak too when using your plugig or other parallax plugins?

Cut the chairs and make it a ground layer.

@brandos Nope. None so far. I guess it's because i have only few small maps ^_^ But Im pretty sure it is announced that within this month RPG Maker MV will adapt PIXI v4. that's a huge leap from v2 :3 can't wait!

When I try to use some animation(in this case: Wind All 2 animation) around the parallax layer, it seems like the part where the parallax at is covering the animation. What should I do to make the parallax not covering the animation but I still need the parallax layer on it position?
