Battle Parallax Maps add on for Unlimited Parallax Layers

[ShinGamix]

I really like the way Original Wij did his multiple-parallaxed-layers-v1-0 script for RPG Maker VX and sadly I got used to using it in a lot of my VX projects.

I would really like it added to my unlimited parallax layers for RGSS3 aka RPG Maker VX Ace!!

I mainly like the fact I can use maps as battle Backgrounds and parallaxes together.

here is the link to Original Wijs page for it

http://originalwij.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-parallaxed-layers-v1-0/

and here is the script itself

Did you look at Yami's parallax layer script inspired from a RGGS2 script from Valkyrie Stories?

 

[ShinGamix]

Does it have battle parallax maps too? I don't believe it does.

 

[Helladen]

Does it have battle parallax maps too? I don't believe it does.

No.

 

[ShinGamix]

and also found out that it isnt compatiabe with MA Animated Parallax script too.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

but why battle parallax when you could just do all in one battleback then import it and use it as a normal battleback?

 

[ShinGamix]

I want to use the map.

and if the map events would run too that'd be freaking awesome!!

 

[Helladen]

I want to use the map.

Are you using Victor Saint's Map Turn Battle? Why don't you just take a snapshot of the map then use it as a battle back rather than integrating them seamlessly?

 

[ShinGamix]

Not using that battle system..using a highly customized one.

 

[djDarkX]

Besides, with parallax battle maps, you might be able to include animations like storms with lighting, sandstorms, moving water, etc. for your battle backs.  That would be awesome.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

then it's just an animated battleback coz the default battleback in a sense is already "parallaxed"... that would be nice...

Not using that battle system..using a highly customized one.

It still should use the map properly. The battle system needs to be changed - not get a script that works with it. You are better off recoding the battle back aspect of the battle system, that way you can make use of the good scripts that are already available.

if ur using a highly customized one, then we need to know it if you ever want somebody to have a good chance of making a script for animated battle parallax for you... because a generic one might conflict with a highly customized battle system

Exactly... No one will waste time making you a script to fit your battle system, they would rather make a patch for your battle system that utilizes an already existing parallax script. Please listen to good advice, especially from someone who knows how to program.

It's really frustrating for someone if he makes the script for you just to find out that it's incompatible with your battle system
