You dont need any plugins to implement a parallaxed map... But they can help a lot especially Region restrictions (for easier pathing setup, though its still better if you know how to use the normal pathing setup together with parallaxed maps because it allows you to use the special passabilities like the directional ones), and Bind Pictures to map to lock your upper layers in case your maps are bigger than default.

some prefer galv overlay plugin than TDDP bind pictures to map.
But its hard to use, but easy to when you understand it. I rather keep it on nomal tile based for now :)

I wouldn't call it the best one - because using regions for passability disables 90% of the special features available to tilesets.
It is commonly used because it is the quickest and easiest way to get the simplest passability into a map, but for the best passability options you don't use a plugin at all, but an invisible tileset.

Basically you need to create two B-tilesheets for that. One tilesheet is 768x768 pixel completely transparent, the other has symbols detailing passability on it - regular passability, directional passaility, ladder-passability and so on.
During development you use the symbol sheet and set its options in database-tilesets to be exactly what you made the symbols out to be.
With this you can place any form of passability option on any tile on your parallax map, and see that passability during playtest.

After the game is complete, you just change the picture in the project for the transparent one (they need to have the same name to keep the database settings). That makes all the passability symbols invisible but keeps the tile settings for the player.

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!
The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
