Tsukitsune · 2017-07-07T15:23:26+0900

Orange Overlay + Animated Parallax Add-on Orange Overlay 1.1.4 - Plugin DL - (Updated 7July17) With permission from Hudell and thanks to Chaucer for the plugin fix, here's an updated version of Orange Overlay. This version fixes the broken plugin commands people were experiencing when trying to change parallaxes via events. Instructions from the original thread. Hudell said: Introduction You can use this plugin to add overlay images to your maps You can keep the images either on the img/parallaxes folder Or (if you set the Organized Folders param to true) on separate folders like this: Code: img/overlays/grounds img/overlays/pars img/overlays/shadows img/overlays/lights img/overlays/fogs All image filenames must end with the number of the map that they are used on. Map notetags: : Display all overlays : Display ground overlay : Display parallax overlay : Display light overlay : Display shadow overlay : Display the specified fog image : Change the opacity level of the fog image (0 to 255) : Changes the blend type of the fog image : Changes the duration of the opacity transition : Changes the horizontal speed of the fog : Changes the vertical speed of the fog You can use variables numbers on the notetags by adding a $ symbol before the value Plugin Commands Overlay layertype filename Possible layer types: ground, light, shadow, par. Overlay fog filename opacity xMove yMove blendmode duration Changes the fog params to the ones specified in this command. Blendmode and duration are optional Examples: Overlay fog fog1 100 10 0 0 20 This will display the file fo1 with opacity 100 and move horizontally 10px at a time, with a transition of 20 frames Overlay fadeout duration Do a fadeout effect on the current fog. This command will disable the fog switch at the end of the fadeout effect. Overlay addfog filename ID Opacity xMove yMove BlendType Z Adds an extra fog layer. BlendType and Z values are optional Overlay removefog ID Removes an extra fog that was added with the addfog command License Free to use on any game. Click to expand... Animated Parallax Add-on - Plugin DL - (Updated 12Aug17) - Thanks @Krimer for the latest update! Rejoice parallax mappers! You can now have animated water! This plugin adds to the Orange Overlay plugin, and allows you to animate overlay images. ============================================================================== INSTRUCTIONS : ============================================================================== Naming Images : When naming the animated images, please include _ followed by the index of the image, please take note that the index will always start on 0 and NOT 1, so please name images accordingly ( example : example_1, example_2, example_3, etc.. ). Example of how the 3 frame images would be set up in your parallax folder. par(layertype), 1(map#), _0(frame#). Changing animated layers: When changing a layer that is animated via plugin command(example: Overlay ground ground1-v1 ), do NOT include _0, as this plugin will do so on it's own. Map Note Tags: Code: : *parallax layer will animate upon map entry. : *shadow layer will animate upon map entry. : *ground layer will animate upon map entry. : *light layer will animate upon map entry. (ex. -- This will animate the par layer with 3 image frames at a speed of 10fps.) keys: f = the amount of frames( or images ), that will be used. s = the amount of frames that must pass before changing frames. Plugin Commands: Code: animate_layer l f s Description : tell a layer to start animating. (ex.) animate_layer ground 3 10 Code: change_layer_speed l s Description : change the speed of a given layers animation. Code: stop_layer_animation l Description : tell a layer to stop animating. keys: f = the amount of images used in the animation. l = the name of the layer( ground, parallax, shadow, light ). s = the amount of frames that must pass before changing frames. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfixes: Please post all bugs you encounter in the thread. I'll try to keep this plugin updated and bug free. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of Use Orange Overlay Credit: Hudell and Chaucer Same rights as original-Free to use on any game Tsukitsune Animated Overlay Add-on Do not share on any other site without permission Free for use on any game Edits are allowed and please support my project <3

@4rc4n3 try this link
I have done some changes in plugin, because plugin works only when all map notes present, i changed it

Changes are made in those lines
441, 444, 488, 491, 539, 542

Before i made the changes it was like this

screenshot

After changes it will work in any cases

Thank you so much. It worked the first time I tried, I don't have much time at the moment but the first test was succesful. A big, very big thank you.

Allright, tested it a bit more, it works very well.

There are still two things I would like to understand a bit better.

First,
Code:
<ground> <animate_ground: 14, 10 >
works very nicely. However,
Code:
<ground> <animate_ground: 15, 10 >
is static. Or any higher number in fact. Is the script capped? Can't I go over 14 in the map note?

Here is my folder in case we're wondering, but it should be just the same.

The second point is that I've notice a small delay before the script runs properly. It sometimes take 3-4 seconds to ''load'' and then it works. It's nothing I can't bypass via fading out and eventing a bit with cinematics, but I'm wondering what may be causing this.

Thank you very much!

So i am new to parallax stuff.
Everything what i tried worked fine so far.
But for me it is really annoying that i can only see the parallax when i play the game.
Is it possible to see the parallax in the event editor?

Anyhow, as I was trying to get the plugin to run in my project, I stumbled across a problem.
I want to have a different parallax-layer for every map of my project.

Does the par[id] match the ID of the map itself?

I've never tried anything beyond 3, so it might be capped. What's the reason you're using so many layers?

As for the 3-4 seconds, it's probably because you have so many animated layers and the game takes a few seconds to process everything. Try testing with 2 animated layers and try another map with 14.

Save your map and add it to your map properties, parallax, view in editor.

Well, the animation is much more fluid with more frame, isn't it? Or is there a way to make pretty animations without having to change everything all the time?

Hi,

Is there a way to tie an animated parallax to a switch ? I want to make a sewer where the water will disappear after I press a switch in game. I know that Yami script for Ace allowed to use a switch if you want to go night or day version.

Depends on what you're animating. If you're animating single objects, just use events or animated doodads. If the entire floor is animated like water, then use the animated parallax plugin. Even still you only need 3-4 frames at most. Post some screenshots and I may be able to give some better suggestions.

Just make an event trigger if X switch is on, in the event contents use the plugin commands to switch between different versions. Also make sure that the animated notetags are in the map properties.

Ex. put these in map properties:
<ground> This will call the ground parallax file for whatever map you're on, in this example it'll call ground31
<animate_ground: 3, 10 >

Make new event:

That plugin command will change the ground parallax layer to ground31-1

I confirmed Animated Parallax plugin causes problem with Plugin Command (menu - tab3)
or At least with Yanfly Minilabel Plugin and Mouse Disable Plugin of Shaz

I've just recently tried out the animated parallax and it worked great, thank you so much!

Unfortunately I did run into an issue when used with Yanflys ItemSynthesis. Anytime I open a crafting shop window I get this crash while the "Tsukitsune_animatedOverlayAddon" plugin is turned ON.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Thank you for that reply, I didn't know I could do that, thank you!

This plugin is amazing! Now I have the freedom to add as much water to my maps as I want. Thank you for that!

Sadly I run into the same "cannot read property 'trim' of undefined" error, but for me it's related to some camera control and interface plugins. It happens whenever I enter a map that ISN'T animated.

Did I do something wrong? Thanks in advance!

Well instead of screenshots, here is the technical demo on the difficulties I'm having. What we want to do on our project is to have waves crashing on a beach. I believe the version linked has an event to turn into night in PP, feel free to disable it on the bottom left. We can't really work the rest of our map until we fix this ''issue'' or at least know how to exploit the plugin better.

The water should and will be animated too, more than that, but so far we're trying to focus on the waves crashing. You'll see the animation skip some frames at the end, when the waves withdraw. These are the 3 missing frames I can't get to run because of the supposed cap. The ''ground_'' are in the file, as you will see, but the map note only accept 13 if I want it to run, so some are not used.

The issue could be that everything is on the ground layer, but so far we haven't messed up with other parallaxes or anything. I guess it could be possible to have the waves/water on a layer and the beach on an other but I'm unsure how it would help.

If you have any suggestions on how to have wave crashing an other, easier way, feel (very!) free to suggest. Enjoy!

If no one can fix the issues, could someone try the demo to actually confirm I'm not the only one having problems here?
