[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.

Can you please add it anyway? In my Ace game I had a switch in the world map to "turn off" the top layer, and that removed the roof from every building. So you could walk into any building and see inside. Then when you walk out of a building the roof appears again. And there are probably other uses that people may need it for.

Unless I can put all the roofs on the fog layer instead.
As requested, Update your plugin to 1.03, it now includes Parallax Switch

hmm just updated the script to newest version and the movement on the fog layer stopped working all together... or am i just missing something. tried all your tags

edit : nvm works on the negative tags
Sorry for that. I've already fixed it with v1.03

P.S.

Thanks to Ryalein for lessening my job and comes up with easier fog movements. :rock-left: :rock-right:

Thank you so much for this. Yeah I was wondering if it would be possible to use any of the PIXI filters over say, the fog or something? Is that a thing? I'm not very good at coding or terminology so excuse my ignorance here haha. But really, thank you for your hard work :)

I made this suggestion earlier, but am not sure it was seen... Instead of eating up switches, since each game has a finite number of them, could you just make script calls to enable/disable a particular map type that could be called via an event? Why use switches?

I'm sorry but i won't be doing script call as of the moment.

and to answer your question.

because Instead of people typing codes you can access the map layer controls with just a click of on and off..

it wouldn't hurt to have 3 space of your switches for map layering would it?

another reason i prolly wont be doing it is because it will destroy so many codes that already in it including the conditions.

Hey cause! Thanks for making this! I don't suppose you have some default files for light ect i can use?

EDIT also i just tried using the light but it seems to be tiling instead of staying in the top corner. how do i correct this?

Hello, I'm not familiar with overlay/parallax's z properties. I want to know is, do the message box and pictures always show above these map overlay layers by default?

So, I was playing with the fog layer, but it seems to be under par layer?

This is what I have in my note on map property:

<fogName:fog><fogBlend:0><xPlus:1><xMin:-2><yPlus:1><yMin:-2><ground><par>

Little question, is it possible to show the fog instantly?
This slow appearing for a sandstorm isn't so good^^

Could you post a screenshot? also your light layer must be exactly the same as your map's width and height in terms of pixels

Basing from your tagnotes you're using an older version. xPlus xMin etc is already removed and changed to xMove and yMove.

I'll check the z property for that par vs fog if i got it right.

Edit: Nope mines doing okay with the fog over parallax map. try updating the plugin. you have the outdated one.

I'll add a feature for transition control on that one.

Easy to use and very nice for building.

Reminds me a lot of victors fog overlay.

One question though and slightly off topic.

How do you avoid your maps being blurred out?

For some reason I'm getting this with yours/galv and the original parallax.

This isn't the case with the bindpictures to map.

I'm having a small issue where my par and light layer won't show, but my ground layer does. I've used all the note tags, but can't seem to figure it out. Anyone have this issue, or know the fix?

I was waiting for something like this. I haven't tried it out yet, but thank you so much. My world map has been so dull without moving clouds.

#60 Nov 5, 2015, 04:24 AM Source

@Kaus I see.. well I just updated the plugin also I am having same issue what Morticide have. I'm guessing a switch is require? Since my notetags are the same except I change the Y and X plus to x and y move.
