[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.

@Kaus thanks for your plugin.. i have a little question.

Is possible ingame change (For example) the parallax layer pictures?
I need that in order to animate my background...
If yes, there's a way to change picture, not instantanely but with a fade in/out?
Thanks

Animated parallax would be cool.

Hey Kaus, I'm using both the Ultimate Overlay and the SpriteFixes plugins - they work great except whenever you switch parallaxes through events there is a black flicker, say I had two backgrounds (parallax A and parallax B ) when I switch from A to B through events there is a black flicker. Whenever it is done (like if it does the event once) its fine afterwards and you can switch from A to B without the flicker. So if I had an A B C D it would load A fine, but flicker B C D each time it switches, and then after the first time loading them up it is fine.

It is only when the Sprite Fix plugin is on. Otherwise it works fine. Even with just the Kaus Ultimate overlay its fine, or without either its fine (but blurry). When you use the Sprite Fix plugin- there is a strange flicker. Is there anyway to fix this?

Here is a link to the thread I'm having problems with

You can actually do this with the plugin call (but lags)

Thanks for the awesome plugin. I am having one issue at the moment though. Whenever I use fog on a particular map and begin combat it gives me an error message. "Maximum call stack size exceeded." It goes away when I turn off the fog. Any idea what might be causing this?

After the new update, I get the following error after hitting "New Game":
Code:
Type Error Cannot read property 'canvasBuffer' of undefined
This is just with the overlay plugin running, nothing else. Perhaps I have done something wrong?

You're not alone I'm having lots of error after I updated to 1.2.0 -_- sometimes everything works fine but sometimes it gives me error. I encountered that error as well, it seems like if you turn of KSU_Parallax_Smoothing Plugin that error appears. Try it with KSU_Parallax_Smoothing ON

So I looked around and can't find anything related to "KSU_Parallax_Smoothing Plugin." Is that a plugin available for download?

But now, the "System" string in the Task Manager fills like crazy:

After i tried to move back and forth between two parallaxed maps (1248x1728, 1248x960 px) about 20 times, i got 1,2 Gb into my RAM.

Is it something i need to worry about?

UPD:

I think i found what's causing this.

The "System" string stopped filling, when i removed "Parallax Background Image" from "Map Properties". I actually need those sometimes. Help?

If I just wanted to use the fog and fog alone is that possible? I've been trying to see if I could get that work but I must be doing something wrong. I've watched the videos, but it still doesn't seem to be working properly for me. My note tags are

<fogName:Fog1>

<fogOpacity:95>

<fogBlend:1>

<xMove:2>

<yMove:1>

(with the filename being Fog1 in parallax images)

Am I messing up, or do I have to add the other layers as well?

Is there any way to get the fog to show up above the player but below the shadow layer when you are using the event notetags to make a fog appear? I'm trying to make lighting that moves around like when light shines through smoke.

I keep getting an error saying "Cannot read property of 'addchild' of undefined" It may be clashing with another plugin that I have but I'm curious if you would know what this error means and how I can fix it.

Hi, when displaying the fog on my map, the image keeps flickering ?

Hey!

Sorry for the delay. What I did was get the KSU_ParallaxSmoothing plugin and set it to ON
