How to replicate MOG's Parallax Map..?

[fallenlorelei]

I wasn't quite sure where to put this question, but I figured it's script-related, so here I am =]


I am new to RPG Maker and am slightly interested in Parallaxing. I'm not crazy mapping in Photoshop at the moment (although I do have PS knowledge), I prefer the default way while I'm starting. However, the effect in MOG's Master Demo with the Parallax "Dark Space 2" has me mesmerized. It adds so much to the map, and *seems* pretty simple.

However, I can't seem to replicate the effect. I copy/pasted the "Parallax" script in the demo, but it seems all that script does is add effects (in this case, a crazy wave effect). What I want to figure out is how to put the Dark Space 2 parallax to the top of my map as shadows. Right now, it's just adding it as a background.


Thanks for any help =]

his tiles are partially transparent, I think. Then the parallax just scrolls along. With the tiles partially transparent, you can see through to the parallax, giving it that 'shadow' feel, because you can't see the whole thing.

Brilliant!
I just copied over his tilesets and got it to work. Yay~
