RMMV VE - Fog and Overlay issue, cannot find guide to make use of it.

[Skurge]

Hi everyone, i'm trying to understand how to use this plugin properly on a vanilla project for experimental battles.
My intent is to have a two scrolling battle backgrounds, 1 slow and the other fast for a highway effect.
However i'm stuck on how to actually establish the files, there folders and how to set it up in the first place for troops or map note tags.

Sadly I cannot for some reason provide links to the plugin or samples of my trials because the forum is bugged at the moment limiting my ability to do so.

Does anyone here know how to use this plugin and can provide me help?

Fog and Overlay

Plugin Download This plugin allows to create overlay that can be used for fogs and other visual effects. They behave very similar to a parallax, but have more freedom on their placement. Requires t…

Wierd, last night the links weren't working so I left it at that but now they are.

OK, then what is your problem? The plugin file contains full instructions on what folder to create and how to name the files depending on whether you want to display a fog in battle only or in map only or in both.
For the battle, you'll need the plugin commands to set fog data as there is no notes field - the note structure is only for the map fogs.

I just can't make sense of any of it, I've even copied what Kemsyn (another member) told me to do that worked for him in a simple battle scroll by having the same note tags that refer to battle related images with the '%' on the file. And all it does is crash replying with a cannot find '%25road' when I haven't even got 25 written down.

I'm really confused and this plugin seems to conflict with all the others I got to.
I'm thinking and trying out the yanfly improved battlebacks but even that isn't making sense for me and neither are the files being loaded.

I feel like I need to take baby steps with these plugins.

OK
first thing, you misread the error message - but that is on Victor as he should really have used a different flag for that part of the filename.

If you get any error message like failed to load with a %-number code, then the entire group of three letters stands for a single letter that the browser can't handle - like %20 for spaces.

I don't know if the %25 is the code for the % symbol alone - I doubt that however.
So I now need screenshots of the entire error message, preferably from the console, to see where the error really is.
and a screenshot of the folder where you are placing the fog pictures, including its adress line, to compare for errors there.
and if you have that a third screenshot of the event where you give the plugin command to use that fog, to check if everything is correct there.

You can imagine my confusion where that unknown '25' comes into, it seems my project copy where I was experimenting on had accidentally been deleted but I think it might be best to start fresh again.

Still I managed to had some screenshots saved earlier but to further establish them in battle I'll start over.
As per requested here are the screenshots, however I do not have the formula on the battle part anymore. I think it wasn't written down properly to begin with.


Edit: I forgot to turn off the plugins as I had on the experimental project file which involves my other plugins which make the intended project run in it's current states with all it's other plugins. I am however unsure if these are going to prove further problematic :s

you cannot mix several plugins with the same functions.
there are two plugins for fog on battlescreen that are invovled with that error, none of them being the VE fog and overlay you mentioned here in this topic.
That means you have mixed at least three different plugins for the same, and that never works.
