C47_SeamlessMap v1.0.6 by chyj4747 Introduction The map transferring feature in MV is traditional. Fade out, change map, fade in. This plugin provides a seamless way of transferring. Then you can make world map like pokemon. You can see there are different maps drew with different tilesets. Auto rain event in map 1 and auto snow event in map 4. Also traditional transfer from map 1 to map 2. Features Only render two maps Auto load and render connected map when the screen is scrolled to the border of current map One line note in each map makes everything work The connected map is just rendered, no event will run until the actor moves into that map Only handled webgl, no canvas, but should not be a problem How to use See the plugin help section. Terms of Use Free for any use. Even modify this plugin and claim as yours is ok, but just give credit to the first author. Credit chyj4747 Something to say First of all, thank Lanza Schneider for solving the heavy lag problem when rendering two maps. I am a game maker not plugin maker, I will not add more features unless my game needs it. So if you require other features, please ask someone else to add. But, I will still fix bugs. If there is any updating in the future, I will update this thread. Notice that the very first frame MV renders the whole game, the tilemap is not rendered while actors and events are rendered. That's maybe because I change a little the way of loading and rendering for effciency reason. Not a big problem though, just first several frames. One more thing, many people confused with my plugin and the Japanese plugin FTKR_ConnectingMapGenerator. Let me tell you its drawbacks: 1. It merges all maps into one map. So it causes a big problem that you can only use one tileset for all maps. Otherwise all other maps will be rendered by the same tileset of the first map. 2. Merging maps and loading data of all these maps takes a lot of time. It makes map exceed 256x256 but you still can't make a really big map due to some other limitations. 3. The event id in one map cannot be the same. So it shifts event ids of map2 by the total count of events of map1. Then it does the same thing to events of map3, map4, etc. Then you can't use event id in anywhere. If you think you can do the shift by yourself, consider that you already merge 100 maps and wanna add 1 more event in map1. 4. Finally, since it's one map, all events will run when the map starts. If you have a event that only work when the actor moves into that map area, you need to do some extra work for this. I'm not saying that plugin is useless. You can still use it if your game uses traditional transfer and you wanna make a map exceed the size limitation. It's just not work in my case.

Never mind.

Just loading this thread too slow then I thought I didn't post v1.0.5 update. And I did't find any button to delete this post.

Is there a RMMZ version of this plugin?

Hi, this looks very good!. Thanks for the great work!.

Is there any way to use this just to "preload" a map?
I think I could use this to have fewer loading times between maps.

There must be a little lag when loading a map (of course this also depends on how good your PC is), so usually when the actor moves to next map, there is a black screen fade in and out for loading. If your game does not use seamless map transfer, then I recommend to not use this plugin.

Hello, I'm interested in using this plugin for my game, as my game is similar to Pokemon as well.

I'm curious if there is a way to repair this error when connecting maps? For example, in the old Pokemon games, the maps generate the border tile to encompass the edges of the screen so there's no black borders.

Or is the only fix to make the map bigger?
