RMMV How the heck can I make the image on the title screen animated using YEP Picture Spritesheets?

[TenraiEmiko]

Basically, I've got an image in the img/pictures folder, and it looks like this:


I am using YEP_PictureSpritesheets plugin in order to make the flames on the character's back appears "animated", but nothing happens, despite I have the plugin installed and I named and placed the file correctly according to the plugin's help section.

Can somebody please help me with this? Any help will be appreciated!

Well...how are you trying? The documentation for the Picture Spritesheets plugin says explicitly it works in-game using the Show Picture event command.

Your picture doesn't look like it's formatted to be a title screen image, and even if it were, that's not in the game using Show Picture.

So in order to do what you want, you'd have to be using something like HimeWorks' Pre-Title Events.

Is that what you're doing and it isn't working as you'd expect?

Even though I formatted the image similarly to what the Picture Spritesheets plugin told me, it still not animated as I wanted.
BTW, the plugins I used to make the title screen are MOG_TitlePictureCom (for replacing the default title screen commands with picture-based commands) and SRD_TitleMapBackground (for turning a map into a title screen graphic).
What do you mean by suggesting me to use Pre-Title Events? Does that have any uses in making an animated title screen graphic? (BTW what I aimed is something similar to OMORI's title screen graphic).

I'm sorry, because I see there's a language barrier here, but I don't know a different way to say it. The Yanfly plugin is only advertised to work if you're creating the picture via the Show Picture event command.

I'm not familiar with the plugins you're using, but the SRD plugin looks to be very much the same idea as the HimeWorks one I mentioned. So if you're using that to view a map, and on that map you're using an event with Show Picture, and it's not working, perhaps you can post a screenshot of your event for starters.

Left image: The title-screen in-game (placeholder) as a static image (also note that when I ran the game at the title screen, the image of the MC on the left does not have her "back flames" animated no matter how I wait for it to animate using YEP_PictureSpritesheet plugin); Right: The setup for the title screen, note the "Show Picture" command.

What is the problem here to be exact? Should I use another plugin, or need to tweak the settings of the files / events needed for the animated title screen image?

 

[ATT_Turan]

Have you performed some basic troubleshooting? If you ignore the whole title screen aspect and just start up the game and have an event that shows that picture, does it animate correctly?

If yes, then there's some kind of conflict with maybe the MogHunter thing. If no, then you know there's something wrong with your image or the spritesheet plugin.

 

[TenraiEmiko]

Well I now fixed it by jamming some plugin commands to the event that shows the picture.

I will request to close the thread from now on.
