Best way to make a fog like in XP?

[gRaViJa]

Here I am again with an old-fart-XP-related-question. Back in XP we could add a fog to our maps for extra atmosphere, but this function is not available in MV. What is the best way to mimic this in MV? By just adding a picture, the image isn't parallaxing and it ain't easy to scroll it either.

Are there better ways? Is there maybe a script available already?

Seconded! =) You can mimic some fog effects by using Pictures and Galenmereth's 'Bind Pictures to Map' plugin, but not all. Personally, I'm looking for a way to have scrolling fog that repeats properly (like how you could set the Scrolling X and Y commands in XP on Fogs).

Probably plugin related, throw a request in the requests sub forum

I thought that might be the case XD I'll be sure to do that - thanks!

I have been working on a fog plugin, but Woratana also hinted at doing a fog plugin, so I'm holding off on mine to see what he does.

Oh, cool! Great to see people are already working on it haha. Thanks for letting us know - I'll keep an eye out then! =D

Great, i'll kepe an eye out for Woratana's script and maybe use Galenmereth's 'Bind Pictures to Map' plugin for the time being.

Edit: Galenmereth's 'Bind Pictures to Map' gives me incredible lagg. So at this point there is no working fog function in MV. I hope Woratana will decide to make one

Here's one https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_UUr9ncWPb1aWxLY3VwcHFlNDQ/view?usp=sharing

+ demo https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_UUr9ncWPb1aTNYUDNoS3NhOG8/view?usp=sharing

It is like woratana's multifog but fogs setting only one time per map (in notes)

Thanks caveman! But just to let you know, that first link just gives a 404 error. I took a look at the script in the demo, though, and it looks like it works well! But I'm afraid I'd need plugin commands to do what I want to do, so I'll probably need to wait for Wortana's script (as you called it multifog, do you know if it's available somewhere else?).

Thanks again though =D

Check the Foreground.js script from the JP team.

 

[CriticalGames]

Oh, I hadn't noticed the Foreground plugin! It's quite similar to caveman's script, though - no plugin commands or (at first glance) way to manipulate the fog in an event. Hopefully one of these might help the topic creator out, though =)

 

[caveman]

Link fixed. 

It's my first experience of js, so I looked on 'Foreground' plugin and made smth like it.   

PS: forgot about cred. - use script as you wish.

Thank you caveman for your script, i tried Foreground.js first however and it does exaclty what i needed. there's so many scripts from the start it's hard to know them all!
