Earthbound Battlebacks

[Tatsude K. Hitori]

In earthbound, when you encounter an enemy, the background of the battle always moves around in a weird way(Like shown in the video I'll link). I was wondering if there's a script out there that enables backgrounds to move around like that during battle.

Earthbound / Mother 2: Battle Against Titanic Ant Background:




I would assume that something like this would involve Mode7 in some way, but I'm not too sure.

You can try to use this one:

It let you animate battlebacks in many different way. A demo is in the link too, so you can take a look at it. (\s/)

I'm having a lot of trouble setting things up on that script, would you be able to assist me perhaps? The demo isn't quite helping too much.

You do it mostly with events, how the background act. Just place it right in front of the battle you're using.
Then it's fine. For random encounters it doesn't work. :/
So 100% like in earthbound is impossible without editing the script and that I can't do. :/

The code for the battleback is: 

bb1(0,-1,0)bb2(0,0,0)$game_system.transition_ex = 7The "$game_system.transition_ex = 0 - 7" is for the effect before the battle begins. The description is in the Battle Transition header.
bb1 = Battleback1 image
bb2 = Battleback2 image

The first number is X so from left to right.
The second number is Y, up to down.
The third one is Z, basically it say's which layer it uses.
 

bb1(0,0,0)bb2(0,0,0)$game_system.transition_ex = 7That's what you use after every battle.

Hope I explained it well. (\s/)

Thank you. I think I got the hang of it now.
