[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.

First thanks for your efford :) The Terrax compatibility works perfect.

The undefined thing is gone just by changing the script to the newer version. It was like one layer was named "undefined" and when i put my map png as undefined(with the ground.png also its like moved image, and the par.png looks like it didnt work.

But dont worry its all ok right now.

Make sure you have Bind Pictures Listed ABOVE Ultimate Overlay

Order:

BindPictures

UltimateOverlay

also make sure you have the settings in the plugin's parameter set to true in Bind Pictures:

I did all that. Even moved both scripts to the top of the plugin manager. Still getting that error.

And for me. Thanks :D

Another question: it's possible to smooth smog for example ?

I use "Overlay fog dust 155 1 -0.5" but smog appears directly. I would like to opacity increased 0-155 in 60 or 120 frames.

It's possible ?

Thanks

Hey!

Sorry, I don't usually post for help but I really can't figure out how to get fog opacity to work.

I simply have this:

<fogName:Fog03_highercontrast>

<fogBlend:1>

<yMove:-1>

<fogOpacity:5>

In the map's notes, but the fog opacity is 255. :/ Even looked in the code but can't figure out what is wrong.

You want a control over transition is that it? It's already in the suggestion. I'll add it on next update.

Should be in order:

<fogName>

<fogBlend>

<fogOpacity>

<xMove>or<yMove>

or Plugin Command:
Code:
Overlay fog Fog03_highercontrast 5 0 -1
Cinnamon

#114 Nov 13, 2015, 03:17 PM Source

I changed it to this but still nothing:

<fogName:Fog03_highercontrast>

<fogBlend:1>

<fogOpacity:15>

<yMove:-1>

Removing yMove doesn't help either.

And I'd really prefer to get this to work over having to place Auto Events everywhere that call Plugin Commands. ^_^;

Edit: If it helps, defOpacity does indeed become 15, and so does this._fogMap.opacity, but in-game it just looks exactly like 255. I am using no other plugins that contain "fogMap", so it shouldn't be interfering.

Edit 2: Plugin Command doesn't work either. o_O

Edit 3: Let me make a backup of my game and remove the Plugins one by one to see if any are interfering.

Edit 4: Nope, nothing. Removed all plugins and opacity still will not change from 255.

Attaching the fog image in case it helps debug.

That's weird... your fog image works perfectly with mine... from opacity 0-255 it works...

can you post screenshots?

#116 Nov 13, 2015, 04:16 PM Source

Sure thing!

Could you perhaps take a guess at what might be causing this? So that I can go through the scripts and edit stuff to see if anything helps.

Thank you for the help. :)

#117 Nov 13, 2015, 04:31 PM Source

Did you try making a new project, add my plugin, add the img file and test it out? I cant figure out the problem it should be working fine.

Here's your fog in 125 opacity:

#118 Nov 13, 2015, 05:36 PM Source

Turns out at some point (?) rpg_core.js had been updated by Degica/Valve. My project comes from pre-release phase, so I checked and they changed the "need refresh" method. Apparently it wasn't updating properly? I have no idea. I replaced the old rpg_core with the new one and TADA!! Working!! ^_^/

Thank you for helping me figure it out!

This USED to be in:

if (this._needsRepaint || this._lastAnimationFrame !== this.animationFrame || this._lastStartX !== startX || this._lastStartY !== startY) { this._lastAnimationFrame = this.animationFrame; this._lastStartX = startX; this._lastStartY = startY; this._paintAllTiles(startX, startY); this._needsRepaint = false; }But it was removed and this was added:

var count = 1000 + this.animationCount - my; var frameUpdated = (count % 30 === 0); this._animationFrame = Math.floor(count / 30);and some other small stuff but I won't bother you with that because I have no idea what I'm posting, haha. : D

Update

v1.07 (11.14.15)

-Added New Feature: Organized Folder. You can now have your images in separate folders. (See Help File)

-Added New Feature: Fog Transition Control. You can now control the transition of your fog. (See Help File)

See New Features:

Spoiler
Organized Folders

If you set this parameter to true: (by default: false)

You should place your overlay images to their specific folders.

Create New Folder inside /img folder and name it 'overlays'

now open that folder and create these following folders

and place your images where they should belong

Fog Transition Control

New Plugin Command Added:

Fog Added Arguments

There's 2 new optional arguments you can add when calling a fog using a plugin command:

Overlay fog filename opacity xMove yMove blendtype durationblendtype: if set to 1 will change the fog's blend to additive.

duration: the fog's transition to fade in instead of instantly appearing. duration = frames.

Example:

Overlay fog mist2 155 1 -0.5 //Displays 'mist2' fog in 155 Opacity that moves position x to 1 and y to -0.5 every frame.
Overlay fog shade 130 0 0 1 60 //Displays 'shade' fog in 130 Opacity, doesnt move, additive blend and fades in w/in 60 frames.It is optional to indicate the blendtype and duration arguments and can be left blank.

By Notetags:

use <fogDuration:number> (OPTIONAL) which makes a transition depending on value = frames. before displaying completely

Example:

<fogName:mist>
<fogOpacity:125>
<fogDuration:60>Fade Out Fog

Overlay fadeout durationwhere in if you have a fog displayed by a plugin command it will transition it out for a smooth effect.

Example:

Overlay fadeout 300This will fade the fog over 300 frames before it is completely removed.

Important Note: you can only use this command if you use a plugin command to call out an overlay fog. DONT use this if you have fog notetags in the map. Use the fog switch off instead to turn off the display of fogs completely.
