SV Overlays Upgrade
(version 1.00)
by SumRndmDde
Intro:This is probably the greatest thing I've created in my life.
What This Plugin Does:
This Plugin allows the user to add more Overlays than the default ones provided.
Overlays are the animations that are played on the Battler when they are affected by a certain State in Side-View Battles.
Furthermore, this Plugin allows you to customize the position of a State's overlay, and even change the speed in which the Overlay Animation is played!
Pretty awesome, right?
How To Use It:
This Plugin's usage is very simple.
#1
First thing's first:
If you wish to add more SV Overlay Animations, you'll need to do so by adding them to the bottom of the "States.png" file.
This file can be found in:
img/system/States.png
You can check out an example of this by going to the sample States.png file I placed in the "Downloads" section of this Topic.
I added on 9 extra Animations that can be used.
#2
As for adding or customizing the SV Overlay Animations, you can do so using Notetag Commands in the States.
Simply go into the Notetag Box of a State, and input any of the following commands in order to give it a custom Overlay Animation, custom position, or a custom speed.
Notetag Commands (for States):
<animationRow: #>
Changes the State's Overlay animation to the animation in the # row in your
States.png file (found in img/system).
By default, the rows are:
1) Poison
2) Blind
3) Silence
4) Rage
5) Confusion
6) Fascination
7) Sleep
8) Paralyze
9) Curse
10) Fear
11+) Any Overlay Animations you add to the file
<animationFrameWait: #>
Changes the amount of frames that are waited in between each
of the State's Overlay's animation frame.
The default is 8.
If you lower the number, then the animation will play faster.
If you raise the number, then the animation will play slower.
<xAnchor: #>
Changes the X Anchor of the State's Overlay.
Anchors are relative to the Battler's sprite.
By default, the X Anchor is 0.5, meaning it is placed
in the half-way point of the Battler.
If the X Anchor is 0, the Overlay will be on the Battler's left side.
If the X Anchor is 1.0, the Overlay will be on the Battler's right side.
<yAnchor: #>
Changes the Y Anchor of the State's Overlay.
Anchors are relative to the Battler's sprite.
By default, the Y Anchor is 1, meaning the Overlay's sprite's bottom
is placed on the bottom of the Battler's sprite.
If the Y Anchor is 0, the Overlay will move down the length of the
Battler's sprite's height.
If the Y Anchor is 0.5, the Overlay will move down half the length of the
Battler's sprite's height.
If the Y Anchor is 1.5, the Overlay will move up half the length of the
Battler's sprite's height.
#3
I also added Parameters that changes the default position and animation speed of the SV Overlay Animations. These will affect all the features of the states that are not explicitly configured. They're pretty self explanatory, and you can revisit the descriptions for the Notetag Commands if you're confused about anything.
