OcRam - Passages plugin (MZ/MV)

OcRam · 2017-12-04T06:01:32+0900

Introduction This plugin uses region IDs to determine a player 'floor level'. Even autotiles can be drawn ABOVE players (if player is on lower ground). I have tried to find this type of plugin for a long time, then decided to code one my self. I know you can use different tilesets or events to accomplish this, but this saves a lot of tiles in my tilesets. And no more event switches to toggle higher / lower ground. Use event comments or to assign event floor level. If autotiles A3 (roofs) or A4 (walltop) tiles are used "Auto-assign" (no comments found) will assign the event to higher floor level, else event is assigned to lower floor level. Also works (for example) with "OcRam_Local_Coop" and Yanfly engine -plugins (no issues known). ps. You can use this plugin indoors as door passages also (shown later). Here's what you need: "OcRam_Passages" -plugin Mark regions RegionID 16 = Underpassage (this will set player to lower ground) RegionID 17 = Overpassage (this will set player to higher ground, also draws B-E layers) RegionID 18 = Cover tile for tiles B-E (transparent background) RegionID 19 = Autotile Cover for A tiles (opaque background) RegionID 20 = Always block passage (for blocking ie. door way sides) RegionID 21 = Block passage AND draw tiles ABOVE, if on lower floor RegionID 22 = Block passage to underpassage region (can be used to fix RMMV core "bug" where passable tile, like "bush", allows passage over cliffs) Spoiler: Example outdoors Credits to PandaMaru for bridge tiles.

if cliffs are on A, use 19, while 18 in your picture above, is above player and cut it out.
18 is more used for bridged (center) and corners.

it can be reconizeable though, if you use clifs pars (different from autotiles (A), than 18 can be used.
but read carefully what they do and follow the example images for best use, so you dont have
bugs if used incorrectly ^^

if you recheck four images (region 19) and (region 18), you see the ground above the player
while its not there on region19 image.
Yes! I understood that! thank you again!

Aaaaah! That's the key so! Because in my tileset the upper edges are in B tiles! (the other parts of cliff in A tiles).

So I'm right using 18! :D
TY

I replied you before!

My problem is I'm italian and my english is not so advanced! :'D

Hi. So, How do you use this plugin with OcRam's Layers to set under/overlay tiles on parallax maps? Is it possible? I've done with RMMV's tile mapping but couldn't do it with a parallax map. I'm trying to do a simple passage beneath a door ceiling, but my character appears above the tile, instead of under it.

Thank you for the message,

First of all you will need lower layer and upper layer that will both match map size. Then you'll need to mark regions and passages (this will be the hardest part, especially 4-dir passage setup - see example pic).

Basic idea is same as in tile mapping >> 16 is for underpass, 17 is for overpass, 19/18 will show layer above player when player is on lower floor level (also blocks/allows movement based on player floor level).

Screen shot

This example map (Region de parallax) is from my demo project. Map size is 30 x 30.

@OcRam

I see, so you did use an upper layer. I thought i wouldn't have to. Thanks for your help.

When I try using this plugin, it spits out this error as soon as I try launching the game. Disabling the plugin immediately fixes it so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, does it not work with custom tilesets?

It seems that there's no such file existing in ../img/tilesets folder?

Yeah I get that, but I'm not sure if your plugin requires additional files to work though?

Like I said, without the plugin installed my game launches and runs fine, but as soon as I turn the plugin to the "On" position in the plugin manager it gives me this error, have you tried using this plugin with anything other than the default tileset? Because I can't think of anything else that would be causing it.

I'm not sure how else to explain it I'm sorry, essentially,my game doesn't call for this file (because it's never existed in the first place) but for some reason when I activate your plugin it tries to load img/tilesets/(any file)ex.png so like, what I do to fix that problem is I'll copy the base file for this example it's: fsm_Forest02_A4, then I'll paste that copy and rename it fsm_Forest02_A4ex. After doing this, it stops calling for that file specifically to be loaded, but then it asks for another tileset after that and so on: "Failed to load: img/tilesets/fsm_Forest02_A5ex.png" (or something like that.)

Later today I will try to make a test project with no plugin besides this one and no additional tilesets to see if it gives an error, because the additional tilesets I feel is what is giving me the issue.

Hi,

This plugin will pre-load all tilesets for faster access in-game. That's why all tileset images must be valid.
Code:
$dataTilesets.forEach(function (ts) { if (ts != null) { tmp = []; ts.tilesetNames.forEach(function (s) { tmp.push(ImageManager.loadTileset_OC(s)); }); } });

I had an issue with YEP_SaveMenuCore which I am also using. It allowes me to reload any other save file from within the Save Scene. Adding the following code to your plugin solved the issue for me:

Code:

this.extend(Scene_File, "onLoadSuccess", function () {
        _this.debug("Loading new save...", "Force to re-load whole tileset!");
        _savedLayer = null; _flags = null; _savedLayer = null;
        _currentShaderTilemap = null; _cacheReady = false;
        _tileSprites = []; _doCulling = false;
        _this["Scene_File_onLoadSuccess"].apply(this, arguments); return;
    });

Hello. I downloaded the latest version (v. 4.07) but I get this error when I try to launch the game. How can I fix it in the code?

I used ver. 1.2.0 because this version works stably. If I update the version, will the error disappear?

My plugins are designed for RMMV v1.6.2 so yes this plugin will work if 1.6.2 version is used.

If you decide to upgrade your project, please backup your project - before updating from 1.2 to 1.6 a lot of things have been changed there.

I updated the version and that error disappeared, but the following error appeared.

Looks like conflict with other plugin. Have you tried to move plugins on different order?

Hi

I have a little problem with the plugin
I try to make a transfer from a place to a other , this place from where I start is at top of the wall where guard patrol
so , when I take the stair ( so the transfer event ) from the wall to the the room under , all is good , but if I try to take the stair back it don't work , and more weird , now I pass through people

the only way I found to solve this is disable the plugin OR turn the " auto floors levels " to false
I assure you their is no region ID in the 2nd map , and in the first , there is some but they are far away
oh and this happen when I test the game via the editor so I start the game where I stand on the 1st picture , so I don't touche any region ID before that

so ... wtf happened ?

Thank you for the report,

Make sure that you are using latest version of OcRam_Passages and use * Plugin Command * floor_level -1 low (or high) to force player floor level after * Transfer Player * command.

yes I have the last version installed , and thanks for the command , but why this happened ? I would like to understand
I pass trough people but I don't pass trough wall so it don't set my floor levels higher ?
