If you have ever played any of the games in the Mother series you know how surreal and trippy the battle backgrounds look.

They look like that
Skip to about 0.50 to see the battle background.

If you notice the background waves and moves. It also has a tad bit
of animation.

I have tried multiple scripts but if I ever try to mix the two
I get an error message.

Also is there a program I could use to make custom battle backgrounds like those seen in this series?
I'am using paint and this is what I got.
I got it to move but nothing else.

Also is there a checkered grid template for vx ace battle backgrounds?

Battleback Ex is a script that can do something close to that. You can have as many battleback layers as you want and apply movement to each one. There's also a wave distortion effect you can use. You can probably get close to some Earthbound effects if you mix the wave effect with an animation

For ideas about which graphics program to use, have a look through the forum "Useful Tools for Development" which has several threads discussing this.

What scripts? What message? We can't help you if you only give us hints.

Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
Yay, now back in action Happy Christmas time, coming back!






Back in action to develop the indie game that has been long overdue... Final Fallacy. A game that keeps on giving! The development never ends as the developer thinks to be the smart cookie by coming back and beginning by saying... "Oh bother, this indie game has been long overdue..." How could one resist such? No-one c
